Morocco reiterated, during the second informal talks on the Sahara, which were held on February 10-11 in Armonk, in the outskirts of New York, its willingness to negotiate a realistic and feasible solution on the basis of the autonomy Initiative.

Morocco calls upon other parties to work towards a "realistic" solution to the Sahara issue, emphasizing the inapplicability of the referendum option, reported Wednesday Agence France Presse (AFP).  

The Moroccan proposal to grant autonomy to the southern provinces, the Sahara, reflects Morocco's clear and sincere commitment to find a solution to the Sahara issue, said on Saturday in Kortrijk (north-west Belgium) a member of the Royal Advisory Council for Saharan Affairs (CORCAS).

A large majority of the southern populations is convinced that the Moroccan proposal to grant a broad autonomy to the southern provinces is the only solution to settle the Sahara issue, member of the Royal Advisory Council for Saharan Affairs, Moulay Ahmed Mghizlat, said on Tuesday.

The Moroccan autonomy initiative is supported by all Sahrawis, said Thursday night in New York, Mr. Ahmed Mghizlat member of the Royal Advisory Council for Saharan Affairs (CORCAS).
