The status quo in the Sahara “is no longer tenable” and the entire Maghreb region would benefit from a solution of this issue through a political process, said President of the European Parliament, Martin Schulz.

The head of government of Sao Tome and Principe, Patrice Emery Trovoada, reiterated Tuesday in Rabat, the country's position supporting the Moroccaness of the Sahara.

The visit by the Personal Envoy of UN Secretary General to the Sahara, Christopher Ross in the region is the most concrete element that emerges from the 9th informal round of talks held March 11 to 13, 2012 in Manhasset outside New York.

Sahrawis support autonomy which is the only workable solution

Mr. Ahmed Mghizlat, member of the Royal Advisory Council for Saharan Affairs, expressed, Saturday, March 10, 2012, in an interview with the Spanish news agency EFE, the hope that final reconciliation between Morocco and Algeria will lead to easy informal talks between the Kingdom and Polisario to end this sterile and artificial conflict that has lasted too long.

The French Socialist Party (PS) will continue to support the Moroccan Sahara autonomy if elected, said Sunday, the First Secretary of this political party and former minister, Martine Aubry, who is visiting the Kingdom.
