The adoption of resolution 2756 by the Security Council, renewing the mandate of MINURSO, marks a crucial turning point for the recognition of the Moroccan solution to the Sahara. According to the political scientist and professor of political science at the Faculty of Law Rabat-Souissi, El Abbas El Ouardithis resolution reflects the growing support of the international community for the proposal for autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty. An initiative which, since 2007, has established itself as the only and credible way to resolve the conflict.
For El Ouardi, this support from international authorities is fully aligned with the royal vision in terms of diplomacy and lasting peace. “ We see, day after day, that the international community is gradually rallying around the pragmatic and realistic solution put forward by Morocco. “, he declares. “ This autonomy plan, designed in accordance with the principles of sovereignty and equality, represents a legitimate response, based on international legality, and is part of a dynamic of regional peace and stability. »
Algeria, an isolated obstacle facing international will
Algeria, the main supporter of the Polisario, chose to oppose resolution 2756, thus remaining one of the rare countries not to embrace this compromise solution. El Ouardi underlines that this posture of obstruction places Algiers out of step with the aspirations of the international community and with the pragmatism sought by the Security Council. “ By opposing this resolution, Algeria is once again missing the opportunity to seize the peace dynamic driven by Morocco. However, the international will is clear: the stability and security of the region depend on the Moroccan model of autonomy. “, he emphasizes.
In this dynamic of peace and development, the political scientist calls on Algeria to reconsider its position and to align itself with the consensus which is emerging around the Moroccan solution. “ It is time for Algiers to recognize that the future of the Sahara requires autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty, supported by an international community ready to act for regional stability. he declares. For the professor, the Algerian refusal to vote in favor of the resolution is only the reflection of a policy which moves away from the realities and aspirations of the Saharan populations, who have expressed their desire for peace and prosperity within the Kingdom.
While powers such as France, the United States, the United Kingdom and China actively support the Moroccan process, Algeria persists in an outdated view of the conflict, refusing to align itself with the global consensus. “ Morocco, under the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, has been able to build a diplomacy of trust that inspires the international community. adds El Ouardi. For him, this international recognition only strengthens Morocco’s territorial integrity and legitimizes its sovereignty over the Sahara.
Resolution 2756, by supporting the Moroccan plan, also promotes the Kingdom’s efforts in terms of economic and social development in its southern provinces. The professor recalls that autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty offers an inclusive solution, respectful of international standards, and that it makes it possible to create wealth and new perspectives for the entire region. “ We are faced with a model that creates growth opportunities and responds to the legitimate aspirations of the Saharan populations. “, he says.
Morocco, a model of development and stability for the region
Indeed, efforts in the Sahara result in the creation of infrastructure, schools, health centers and cultural spaces which enrich local populations and consolidate the idea that the sovereignty of the Kingdom goes hand in hand with the development of its southern provinces. “ Morocco proves that territorial legitimacy is illustrated by tangible actions in favor of the populations concerned, far from vain speeches and geopolitical ambitions disconnected from realities on the ground. », he adds.
At the same time, the professor notes the importance of this resolution for regional stability, particularly in a context in which cooperation for peace becomes imperative in the Sahel. “ The Moroccan solution is an opportunity for the integration of the Sahara into a framework of shared prosperity, where Morocco plays a driving role for human development and economic progress in the region. », underlines El Ouardi. He also discusses the natural resources and sustainable projects developed by the Kingdom in the Sahara, aiming to establish this region as an attractive economic hub.
El Ouardi recalls that the success of the Moroccan model is based on its attachment to international law. By relying on solid legal principles, Morocco is gaining more support and allies every day, to the point that the autonomy solution is today recognized as the most appropriate political outcome. “ This resolution is yet another confirmation that Morocco is moving in the right direction, respecting international legality and building lasting partnerships based on trust and mutual respect. »
Thus, resolution 2756 only strengthens Morocco’s position in its quest for lasting peace, by consolidating its sovereignty over the Sahara and offering the international community a model of harmonious development that respects international standards. “ Morocco is today a credible actor on the international scene, committed to an inclusive and sustainable peace process, and the international community is now called upon to recognize the autonomy solution as the basis of lasting regional stability. », concludes El Ouardi.
