Spanish Expert Urges Recognition of Moroccan Sovereignty in Western Sahara

It is to contribute to the stability of the western Mediterranean, explains the Spanish expert in the Spanish magazine Atalayar, specifying that the historical responsibility of Spain implies that it recognizes the sovereignty of Morocco over the territory of the Sahara and make it known in a solemn declaration.

In doing so, Spain, signatory with Morocco and Mauritania, of the 1975 Madrid Agreement, which sealed the decolonization of the territory, "would gain political stability and security in the region encompassing North-West Africa and South-West Europe" and would thus unblock the project of the Great United Maghreb, of which it would naturally be a part, he points out.

This recognition, which will definitively settle the conflict around the Sahara, will put a stop to the actions of terrorist groups operating in these territories, in connection with drug cartels and human trafficking to Europe.

The interest is great for Spain which, now benefiting from the Spain-Morocco axis, will be able to project itself economically and commercially towards West and Central Africa, on the one hand, and towards the horizontal axis of the Mediterranean through North Africa, towards Egypt and the Middle East, on the other hand, concludes the specialist.
