The British government welcomed Thursday Morocco’s political will to strengthen human rights in the Sahara.

The most serious issue is that Algeria places Sahara at the heart of bilateral relationship

Morocco "strongly condemns" the statements made by official Algerian sources, setting several "unfounded and incomprehensible" conditions to normalising bilateral relations and reopening the land border between the two countries.

Senegal and Morocco believe that the persistence of the Sahara is "a threat to peace and security in the region," said a statement released Monday in Dakar at the end of the 14th session of the Joint Commission for Senegalese Moroccan Cooperation.

Autonomy proposal is the only solution and the most appropriate option to end the conflict over the Moroccan Sahara, said Sunday in Laayoune elected officials from the region of Laayoune-Boujdour-Saqiat el Hamra in a meeting with a delegation from the Socialist and Democratic Group at the European Parliament.

On the occasion of World Refugee Day, the Leadership Council for Human Rights (LCHR) and Teach the Children International (TCI) launched on Thursday a call to the international community about the plight of populations sequestered in camps Tindouf in southwestern Algeria, and drew attention to the suffering endured by the Sahrawi activist Mustapha Salma Ould Sidi Mouloud.
