The State of Israel's decision to recognize Morocco's sovereignty over its Sahara is an "important diplomatic victory" with great political significance and economic repercussions for all of the Kingdom's southern provinces, said El Khattat Yanja, president of the Dakhla-Oued Eddahab Regional Council.

US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told a press briefing in Washington yesterday, Tuesday July 18, that the U.S. decision on the Moroccan Sahara remains unchanged.

The Center for International Relations and Sustainable Development (CIRSD), a leading Serbian think tank, has looked into the security threat posed by Polisario and its connivance with the Algerian regime to destabilize the Sahel region.

The autonomy plan presented by Morocco in 2007 to settle the artificial dispute over the Moroccan Sahara enjoys growing support at European and international levels, Portuguese expert and political scientist Raul Braga Pires said on Tuesday.

German radio station BR24 devoted a detailed article to the presence of terrorist groups in Africa, as well as their Internet propaganda and recruitment methods in areas of instability, particularly in Polisario camps in Algeria's southwestern province of Tindouf.
