Al Sharq Al Awsat: The Royal Advisory Council for Saharan Affairs was completed the day before yesterday in Rabat, in its first meeting since his creation by the Moroccan monarch, King Mohammed VI last March 25 in Laayoune, a major provincial city in the Moroccan Sahara. The meeting agenda focused on rules of procedure to be submitted to King Mohammed VI, and the election of nine Vice-Presidents, who make up the Council’s bureau.

 
Al Shirae: The Lebanese Magazine (Al Shirae) said that "whenever Morocco steps forward towards the unity of its territory in the issue of the Moroccan Sahara (..)the Algerian regime creates a problem that is not popular inside Algeria”.

The council is not an additional  administration

The 140 members of the Royal Advisory Council for Saharan Affairs (Corcas), created following the Royal Visit to the southern provinces (March 20-25), have a lot of work to do. Only a few days after its creation on March 25, following the royal speech in Laayoune, Corcas members should meet to formulate the rules of procedure and elect the office. 

Khallihenna: « I am optimistic »  

Mr. Khalihenna Ould Errachid said that by granting broad autonomy to the southern provinces, Morocco will become a "model" for Africa and the Arab-Islamic world in the field of decentralization and democratic governance.
