Ahmeddou Ould Souilem, a leading founding member of the Algeria-backed separatist movement of Polisario who recently returned to Morocco, said "politically, Polisario does not exist as it acts on Algeria's orders".

The Yemeni paper (Diyar) said on Sunday, that the return of Mr. Ahmadou Ould Souilem,  founding member of the Polisario Front, who recently joined homeland is the "natural situation that should prevail," arguing that this return and statements, "show Souilem’s great attachment to his country" Morocco.

Asharq Al Awsat daily in its July 15, citing U.S. official sources, denied rumors that have circulated in recent weeks, according to which the new U.S. administration has changed its position on Sahara issue.

Morocco's stance on the Sahara issue has been boosted by the increasing international support for the Kingdom's autonomy proposal, said Sudanese paper "Al Rai Al'am".

French Foreign Minister, Bernard Kouchner, said Morocco's proposal to grant autonomy to its southern provinces, the Sahara, "deserves to be discussed seriously," adding that the option of a referendum "has not worked so far."
