Khalihenna: the new royal policy aims at addressing the problems that led to the founding of the Polisario Front

The chairman of the Royal Advisory Council for Saharan Affairs, Mr. Khalihenna Ould Errachid said that " Majesty King Mohammed VI, enacts a new policy regarding the Western Sahara issue, economically, socially, historically and culturally. This policy aims to resolve the Sahara issue once and for all, in a way that guarantees the national, North African and African development. One of the pillars of this policy is final reconciliation with the population of the southern provinces, at all levels where error or misunderstanding took place as part of political measure.

Ould Errachid added that "this new policy is to the inhabitants of the South, in order to participate in the design and implementation directly.

He explained that the plan to grant the southern provinces autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty, is a first in the case of the Sahara, a step forward and at the level of the North African, Arab and African policies.

Mr Khalihenna Ould Errachid said that "the new royal policy aims primarily at addressing all the problems that led to the founding of the Polisario Front, including social and economic marginalization and exclusion from political participation in the management of local affairs
