The editor of the Gabonese newspaper "Union", Lin-Joël Ndembet, said the autonomy plan proposed by Morocco in order to settle the artificial conflict over the Sahara is "a bold solution" that is able to write "a new page in the history of the region."

The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of the Kingdom of Morocco, Mr. Salaheddine Mezouar, met on Monday October 19th, 2015, with the UN Secretary General's Personal Envoy for the Sahara, Mr. Christopher Ross.

Ambassador, Permanent Representative of Burundi to the United Nations, Albert Shingiro, described Wednesday in New York, the autonomy plan presented by Morocco for a final settlement of the Sahara issue as "realistic and viable" option to reach a political solution to the conflict.

A delegation of Moroccan parties, currently visiting Sweden, held on Monday a meeting with Swedish secretary of state for foreign affairs, Annika Soder, over the evolution of Sweden's stance on the Sahara issue.

The MP and spokesperson of the Swedish Green Party (in power), Pernilla Stalhammar, said that the recognition of "SADR" will now not be in the review process of the Sahara issue, initiated by the Government of her country.
