It is a categoric position on the Sahara issue declared by the Moroccan King Mohamed VI in his traditional speech made on the occasion of the throne day. By reaffirming with firmness his refusal to compromise on the territory integrity of the Cherifian Kingdom, Mohammed VI sent a clear reminder to Algeria regarding its responsibility in the deadlock of the situation : “this, while waiting that Algeria stops opposing the logic of History, geography, legitimacy and legality about the Moroccan Sahara issue, and that it renounces to its hopeless manoeuvres aiming vainly at derailing the dynamics set in motion by Our autonomy initiative for our Southern provinces.”
Concomitantly, we have to underline that President Bouteflika has addressed a message to the King Mohammed VI in which he maintained : “I want to reaffirm my firm determination to raise the bilateral relationships and to reinforce the brotherhood ties and good neighbouring”.

It has become a tradition for Moroccans residing abroad, to make a trip in the country’s Southern provinces, each summer they come on holidays to Morocco. A kind of pilgrimage to the sources. This year 150 Moroccans residing abroad travelled there, among whom 70 elected representatives, assuming representative responsibilities in different European countries. The context of this trip in group is the Raid of Moroccans all over the world, celebrating this year its 7th edition.
It has become also a kind of ritual to meet men and women from the Sahara, separated for a long time from the rest of the country by the Spanish colonialism, before it integrates the Kingdom. For those who have already made this trip, their surprise is renewed each year. Roads, ports, airports, urban infrastructures,  building sites are going on… and visitors are well perceiving this progress.

One of the main objectives of the Moroccan NGO newly created, on the 4th of April in Laayoune,   is to form a lobbying pressure targeting especially Europe and Latin America in order to support the Moroccan autonomy proposal. It is an International Network, launched on Thursday, July 15 in Rabat during a press conference.
It is composed of civil actors, supporting the autonomy proposal now known by the acronym of “INCASA”. The Network is dedicated to cover the old continent and Latin American countries. The network Secretary General, Bashir Dahi and his coordinator, Marwa Rouaida explain this choice by the fact that the Polisario separatists had targeted, for so long, these two regions and have made of them their preferred fields of action in order to endorse their views.

The danger incurred by the Saharawi people trying to escape from the camps controlled by the Polisario in Tindouf (Algerian territory) is once again highlighted at the international level.
These Saharawis from Tindouf who try to return back to Morocco "do risk their lives and those of their relatives", a senior U.S. official has declared.
For Mr. Peter Pham, head of the National Committee for American foreign policy, hundreds of Sahrawis who returned to Morocco in recent months, are "representatives" of the silent majority forcibly restrained in “Lahmada desert”. But this majority is reluctant to venture out because of fears of reprisal from the Polisario against their families and loved ones. So, the American expert called up to a stronger implication of the international organizations to double the pressure on the Polisario and Algiers in a way to loosen the grip on the population sequestered in Tindouf.
First of all, it is necessary to begin by identifying and counting this population, said Peter Pham, recognising that this approach continues to stumble over a "categorical Algerian blocking manners..." Mr. Peter Pham has voiced that the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) should not be content with the role of a mere supplier of the populations in food. He has (the Commissioner) to show more boldness, and require from the Polisario and Algeria, the country that accommodates the Polisario on its territory, to guarantee to the Saharawi in Tindouf, their denied freedom of expression and circulation.

The Western Sahara autonomy plan enjoying an international undeniable legitimacy, established by the UNO Security Council, is still receiving more international parliaments as well as NGO’s support which consider the Moroccan initiative to be a « serious and credible project.
Thus, this week, one after another, members of the Peruvian Parliament and the President of a British NGO “Freedom for all”, have all judged the autonomy project to be a “reasonable” process to reach a negotiated political solution to an artificial conflict maintained by Algeria through the Polisario as intermediary.
The Peruvian members of Parliament, representing the different political tendencies of the Peru legislative institution, have underlined that the autonomy plan proposed by Morocco is in conformity with international law and represents the best way to look for a solution based on negotiation and dialogue.

Resuming negotiations to settle the Western Sahara conflict is the objective of the mission entrusted to the UNO Secretary General personal envoy, Christopher Ross who has visited three important European capitals to ask for support and advice. Ross has started on the 21st June, a journey which has led him to London, Paris and Madrid, three capitals from the Friends Group (a diplomatic working group to help solve the Western Sahara conflict).
The objective is to get advice on the better way to make negotiations move forward to achieve a final settlement of the Sahara issue.
Ban Ki-moon personal envoy for the Western Sahara has qualified these meetings of being “very useful”. They reflect a renewable interest to go beyond the statu quo, towards a solution mutually acceptable by the two protagonists, has he declared. After these three European stages, Christopher Ross intends to go to Washington, then to Moscow.
