Elected officials and sheikhs of the Smara Sahrawi tribes reaffirmed Sunday at a meeting with the Personal Envoy of the UN Secretary General, Christopher Ross, that Morocco’s autonomy plan is the only appropriate solution to the Sahara issue.

The Washington-based Carnegie endowment for international peace considered in an analysis that any separatist drive in the Sahara “remains unrealistic”, stressing that most great powers, including the United States, wish that the “territory remains Morocco”.

Benin described Monday at the United Nations in New York the Moroccan autonomy plan for the Sahara as "relevant" and warned against "the humanitarian situation " in Tindouf camps, Algeria.

Morocco called again on Wednesday, UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to proceed in accordance with its mandate, with the registration and identification of populations in Tindouf camps.

The Kingdom of Bahrain reiterated Monday before the 193 members states of the General Assembly of the UN, its “unwavering position of principle” of “solidarity” with Morocco’s “territorial integrity” and the issue of the “Moroccan Sahara”.
