The Moroccan autonomy initiative in the Sahara, as part of the national sovereignty of the Kingdom, offers « a political prospect and a logical solution” to an old conflict of more than 30 years, writes the Jordanian daily “Al Ra'i”

The Polisario could never create an independent State in the Sahara and has no other choice but to adhere to the autonomy project for the southern provinces of Morocco, has stated the Lebanese writer and political scientist, Khair allah Khair Allah.

The Algerian journalist writer, Mr. Anwar Malek has estimated that the  creation of "a new entity in the Maghreb region would expose it to the emergence of countless other entities", adding that the Sahara issue "is a first step towards the erosion of the Maghreb region known for unity and cohesion between its peoples, who were behind liberation from the yoke of the occupants. "

The U.S. daily "New York Times" published Wednesday an article recounting "the harsh living conditions'' in the Polisario camps in Tindouf, south-west Algeria. 

The British monthly North-South stressed that the latest statements by the Personal Envoy of the United Nations Secretary-General for the Sahara, Mr. Peter van Walsum, saying that independence in the Sahara is not realistic, is part of a reality shared by UN diplomatic circles.
