Guinea said on Friday in New York that the Moroccan autonomy plan has the merit of "transcending traditional divergent positions" and laying the foundations for an effective autonomy of the Sahara through the establishment of executive, legislative and judicial bodies with their own powers.

Senegal said Friday in New York, that the autonomy plan, elaborated "in good faith" by Morocco, remains more than ever an appropriate framework for finding a "happy and final outcome" to the regional dispute over the Sahara on the basis of a dynamic compromise.

The Central African Republic (CAR) lambasted on Friday before the 4th Committee of the UN General Assembly the maneuvers of the "other parties" to hinder the final settlement of the Sahara issue.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) reiterated, on Friday in New York, their support for Morocco’s autonomy plan as a basis for a solution to the conflict over the Moroccan Sahara.

The participation rate in the elections, which reached 76 pc in the southern provinces in free and transparent elections, as attested by the international community, reflects Saharawi people's attachment to Morocco, said parliamentarian and member of the Royal Advisory Council  of Saharan Affairs (CORCAS), Ahmed Lakhrif.
