The United Nations Security Council welcomed, on Friday, the new impetus given by the round tables between Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania and the Polisario, thus endorsing these round tables as the only process aimed at achieving a consensual political solution to the regional dispute over the Moroccan Sahara.

France expressed, on Friday, its concern about "the current obstruction situation" caused by the Polisario and its militias in the buffer zone of Guerguerat, warning that such a situation is likely to create tensions that would undermine the political process aimed at reaching a final solution to the regional dispute over the Moroccan Sahara.

Resolution N° 2548, adopted on Friday by the UN Security Council, once again confirmed Algeria as a main party to the process aimed at achieving " a political, realistic, pragmatic and lasting solution" to the Sahara issue, "which is based on compromise."

The Kingdom of Eswatini on Tuesday opened a consulate general in Laayoune, the 7th diplomatic representation to be inaugurated in this city of the Moroccan Sahara in less than a year.
