US Senator John MacCain said, on Friday in Rabat, that the autonomy plan proposed by Morocco to settle the Sahara issue is "viable".

Morocco's autonomy initiative is the unique solution to the Sahara issue, underlined, Miguel Moran, a United Left leader and member of the Spanish section of the European movement.

Members of the Moroccan civil society currently taking part in the 11th World Social Forum foiled, on Sunday, manoeuvres and provocation attempts by a handful of separatists backed by Spanish participants during the event's opening march.

Moroccan associative actors participating in the World Social Forum (WSF) in Dakar denounced, on Monday, anti-democratic acts committed by the polisario's henchmen, who flagrantly violated the Forum's Charter.

Morocco's autonomy initiative, presented by the Kingdom to settle once and for all the artificial conflict over the Sahara, is a credible and serious proposal which offers guarantees to Sahrawis, said Juan Martos Quesada, Spanish academic and expert in Arab and Islamic studies.
