 The autonomy project in the southern provinces aims "to come up with a peaceful solution where there is neither a winner nor a loser, and in respect of the dignity of all the parties," affirmed chairman of the Royal Advisory Council for Saharan Affairs (CORCAS), Khelli Hanna Ould Rachid.

In an interview published Friday by the French-speaking daily "Aujourd'hui le Maroc", Ould Errachid noted, concerning the autonomy project, that "there are competences which are exclusive to the State and are consequently unquestionable, I mean the national sovereignty regalian attributes (foreign affairs, defense, flag, stamps, etc). There are exclusive competences of the future autonomous entity. Then there are shared competences, notably in the economic field."
 
Ould Errachid reiterated his wish to go to Algeria to tell its leaders that "Polisario" is not "the only and legitimate representative" of the Sahrawis, whose crushing majority hopes that Algeria "will use its moral influence" to intercede with "Polisario" "to bring it to better feelings and to conclude a final peace, which preserves the interests of all the parties and where everyone will be winner."
 
The autonomy project aims to put an end to the three-decade-long Sahara issue, which was triggered by the claim of the Algeria-backed “Polisario” to separate from Morocco its southern provinces, retrieved from Spanish rule under the Madrid accords.
 
The solution to this conflict, he added, will be autonomy that “I call the miracle solution, because it will establish a final reconciliation without dwelling on the past in order to build the Maghreb union, from Nouakchott to Benghazi passing of course by Laâyoune.”
 
As for the assessment of the CORCAS diplomatic mission abroad, Ould Errachid hailed the “positive results” achieved by the Council in three months. He noted that he briefed his interlocutors about the mission that King Mohammed VI assigned this body with and the autonomy project as a final solution to the Sahara conflict.
 
He said that all these interlocutors “welcomed the CORCAS creation and they all seek a final and honorable solution to this conflict, which has long lasted.” These interlocutors, he underlined, consider that the autonomy project “is in line with the consensual peaceful solution sought by the United Nations.”
 
“Everyone ardently hopes to settle this problem in the soonest possible time because they want to see the Maghreb as a pertinent interlocutor of the rest of the world,” he concluded.
