The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) has made "a genuine update" (of its position on the Sahara issue), through adjusting its approach to the notable developments taking place in this issue on the international scene and in particular in the United Nations, said, here Wednesday, Moroccan Foreign minister, Taib Fassi Fihri.

 A group of Mauritanian journalists announced the creation in Nouakchott of a platform called "initiative of Mauritanian journalists to support the Moroccan initiative of autonomy". 

The call to change the Personal Envoy of the UN Secretary-General for the Sahara, Peter van Walsum, is "illogical", said Arabic-language daily "Al-Hayat", deeming that it would result in attempts to "remove an international mediator every time he is not appreciated by one of the parties."

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 Republic of Cape Verde considers the Moroccan initiative aiming at granting broad autonomy for the Sahara region as the basis of negotiations for a final settlement of this conflict having lasted too long, reiterating its belief in the virtue of dialogue and consultation as means of conflicts settlement.
