Vendredi 11 Décembre 2020

Geneva - The decision of the United States to recognize the full and entire sovereignty of Morocco over its Sahara is a further illustration of the increasing international support for the Kingdom's position in this issue and it is the end of the worn-out theses of parties hostile to the territorial integrity of Morocco, underlined the expert in international relations in Geneva Matteo Jacques Dominici. "Today, we are living a historic day for the geopolitics of the Middle East and North Africa region. A few weeks after the military intervention of the Moroccan Royal Armed Forces, aimed at securing El Guerguarat, the Kingdom obtained one of the most important political recognitions in its history: that of the recognition of the Moroccanness of the Sahara by the President of the United States of America, Donald J.

Trump", Jacques Dominici told MAP. Morocco, which was the first country in the world in 1777 to recognize the independence of the United States of America, today receives wide-ranging support and must continue, as it has always done since 1991, to work closely with the UN to definitively end this regional dispute, said this expert who led several projects on sustainable development at the UN, in Africa and the Middle East. This decision will mark the beginning of a new course of economic and social development for the entire Maghreb region, in order to give the southern shore of the Mediterranean a major geostrategic position and turn it into a large-scale energy and economic center," he underlined. The opening of an American Consulate in the city of Dakhla is once again a sign of recognition and a vision for a future of social, energy, economic and tourist development of the southern region of Morocco, as a lever for stability, security and peace, he noted.

He also highlighted the Kingdom's status as a serious stakeholder and partner committed to the causes of peace, dialogue and tolerance, essential elements for the progress of any society, stressing that Morocco has always spread a message of religious and cultural fraternity between the three religions, under the leadership of a modern sovereign. The international expert also stressed Morocco's contribution to the settlement of crises in different regions of the world, including the mediation during the crisis between the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and Qatar, the role played by Morocco in the settlement of the Libyan conflict, as well as its permanent commitment to the peace process in the Middle East, with full respect for the cause of the Palestinian people.
