Belgium Liberal Party calls for recognizing Moroccanness of Sahara, knocking out Algerian regime

President of Belgium reformist party Georges-Louis Bouchez has called openly on his country to recognize Morocco’s full sovereignty over its entire Saharan territory following in the footsteps of major Western allies including the United States, France, Spain…

He said he introduced a legislation demanding his country’s government to recognize officially Moroccan sovereignty over the Sahara and support the autonomy plan proposed by Morocco as the ONLY realistic and credible solution to the Sahara regional conflict.

“Morocco and Belgium share common economic, political and security challenges”, said Mr. Bouchez, member of the coalition government, in a statement published on his party’s web site.

Currently, Belgium backs the autonomy plan, saying it is “a very good basis for reaching an acceptable solution to the Sahara conflict, but the leader of the reformist party wants his country to go further and express clear support for Morocco’s sovereignty over its Sahara.

Mr. Bouchez made these historic diplomatic announcements during his recent trip to Morocco where he met several government officials and discussed Moroccan-Belgian cooperation prospects in various sectors of common interests.

After Rabat, he travelled to the Saharan cities of Laayoune and Dakhla where he met local officials, MPs and toured the landmarks projects carried out in the Sahara, becoming a gateway to African markets.
