Spanish university professor Rafael Esparza Machin stressed, on Thursday, during a teleconference organized by the Coalition for Autonomy in the Sahara (OSACO), that the autonomy initiative presented by Morocco in 2007 constitutes the only solution to resolving the artificial conflict over the Moroccan Sahara within the framework of the sovereignty of the Sahara, Morocco and its territorial integrity.

The Paraguayan Chamber of Deputies reiterated its support for the Moroccan autonomy initiative for the Sahara, which "is the only credible and serious basis for a definitive solution within the framework of Morocco's sovereignty and territorial integrity, in accordance with the parameters defined by the Security Council (SC) of the United Nations".

The Permanent Representative of Morocco to the United Nations, the ambassador Omar Hilale denounced, before the Security Council in New York the military enlistment of children by armed groups, calling it one of the "most serious" violations of human rights.

The Moroccan Sahara holds the potential to become a strategic link from Morocco to sub-Saharan Africa, writes Rusif Huseynov, co-founder and director of the Topchubashov Center based in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Separatist entities and uncontrolled territorial areas constitute a source of threat and a hotbed of extremism, underlined, Sunday in Madrid, the Speaker of the House of Advisors, Enaam Mayara, who also chairs the Association of Senates, Shoura and Equivalent Councils of Africa and the Arab World (ASSECAA).
