UK supports Morocco’s plan on the controversial territory

The UK supported the Morocco plan on the termination of the territorial conflict in Western Sahara as part of a transaction that will provide profitable investment projects at the 2030 FIFA World Cup.

For decades, the British governments have abandoned the parties for who should control the Western Sahara, which is considered “not self -governing territory” by the UN.

But Britain’s Foreign Minister David Lami has announced that the UK is now supporting a plan that will give Western Saharan autonomy, but Morocco’s final sovereignty.

When visiting the Moroccan capital, Rabat Lami said that the proposal of Morocco’s autonomy was “the most reliable, viable and pragmatic basis for a long solution to the dispute.”

Lami also signed an agreement to increase cooperation between countries in the field of critical infrastructure for the World Cup, which Morocco holds with Spain and Portugal at five years.

The transaction would allow “British companies to score a big football scene,” Lami said.

Algeria, who supports the Western Sahara Independence movement, said he “regreted” the proclamation of Lami.

Algeria stated that Morocco’s autonomy plan is now 18 years old and has never been presented to Sakhravis as the basis for negotiations.

Western Sahara is a rich in mineral spanish colonies that has fought for five decades that is one of the longest frozen conflicts in Africa.

Morocco conducts most of the 100,000 square meters (260,000 km), but part is controlled by the policy front, an armed group seeking independence for local Sakhrawi people.

The African Union recognizes the independence of Western Sahara, but in recent years, different countries have supported the position of Morocco, including the US, Spain, France, Germany and the Netherlands.

British diplomats said the UK decided to follow the example, but only in return for business transactions and the new commitment of Morocco in support of the principle of self -determination, to publish a new version of its autonomy and negotiation plan.

Agreement on purchases between the two countries “create a unique basis for British companies to access state tenders in Morocco,” the UK reports, pointing to healthcare deals, as well as contracts for renewal of Kasoblank Airport.

The joint communique confirmed the respect of both parties to “unauthorized force to resolve conflicts and support their respect for self -determination.”

Earlier, the UK always said that Western Sahara’s status was “uncertain” and supported “self -determination” for people.

Foreign Minister Morocco, Nasser Burita, welcomed changes in British politics, saying that he noted the historical moment of the 800-year-old two countries.

“This is a real turn to the final resolution of the dispute,” he said.

Lami said the transactions signed in the robbery “directly benefit the British business.”

“Thanks to our work, British companies will be in front of the queue to provide contracts for the construction of the Moroccan infrastructure, introducing money into our construction industry and ensuring that the British business has gained a big football scene,” he said.

After the bitter fighting in the 1970s and 80s, the Polysario and Morocco Front agreed with different ceasefires in the 1990s, but could not resolve the main dispute.

Since 1991, the United Nations has placed peacekeepers in the region.

However, a long -promised referendum that allowed people of Western Sahara to choose between independence or Moroccan control has never happened.
