Belgium's minister for cooperation and development, Charles Michel, stressed, Tuesday in Rabat, the importance of supporting Morocco's efforts to resolve the Sahara issue.

Morocco's initiative to grant autonomy to its southern provinces, the Sahara, is the only solution to settle the 34-year issue and put an end to the sufferings of women and children in the camps of Tindouf (southwestern Algeria), said several women's organizations in Laayoune.

A demonstration to support autonomy plan in the Sahara, within Morocco's sovereignty and national unity, took place Saturday night in Barcelona, with the participation of hundreds of Moroccans residing in Spain.

 Former Democratic congressman, Bill Gray, was informed, on Wednesday in Dakhla, of the local development process.

The President of the Colombian Senate, Senator Javier Enrique Cáceres Leal reiterated the support of the institution he presides for the sovereignty of Morocco and autonomy plan in the Sahara.
