The initiative of autonomy proposed by Morocco is "the only solution to the Sahara conflict that undermines Maghreb integration," said the President of the Center for strategic studies (OEG), Mr. Charles Saint-Prot.

Members of a delegation representing Morocco's southern provinces, on Wednesday, described autonomy proposal as the only solution to end the human tragedy endured by the Sahrawi population in the camps of Tindouf, south-western Algeria.

The responsibility for human rights breaches by the "Polisario" lies primarily on Algeria, which shelters the Tindouf camps on its territory, former ambassador of the "Polisario" to Italy, Sidati El Ghallaoui, affirmed here on Tuesday.    "Algeria is the main responsible for breaches of the Sahrawi population’s rights in the camps of Tindouf, where it is deprived of its most basic rights," he told MAP-Geneva.

Analyst Khadija Mohsen-Finan and head of the research department at the French Institute for International Relations warned that "multiplying states in the (Maghreb) region is not the solution" to the Sahara issue.

The Kingdom’s southern provinces will benefit from the construction of 1,770 housing units under "Al Omrane" preliminary program to enable poor families access to housing.
