French-Moroccans have called on France, in an initiative promoting unity, to recognize Morocco's sovereignty over its southern provinces.

The successive openings of consulates of several countries in Morocco's southern provinces is "compelling evidence showing the false nature of the allegations made by Algeria," underlines North Macedonian newspaper "MKD".

The strong dynamics of social and economic development in the Moroccan Sahara are a major asset for regional peace and stability, stressed Wednesday in Geneva, expert and member of Swiss NGO "Promotion of Economic and Social Development in Sustainable Development", Noureddine Obbad.

More than 100 separatists from the Polisario front are active within Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, warned Cherkaoui Habboub, Director of the Central Bureau for Judicial Investigations (BCIJ), in an interview with Jeune Afrique magazine.

A former detainee in the jails of the Polisario strongly denounced Wednesday the unprecedented crackdown on dissenting voices by the separatists' leadership in the Tindouf camps, with the complicity of the Algerian authorities.
