In a significant diplomatic shift, the Republic of Ecuador has announced the suspension of its recognition of the self-proclaimed sahraoui arab democratic republic (sadr). This decision, communicated by Ecuador’s Foreign Minister to Morocco ahead of a crucial UN Security Council meeting, marks a notable setback for Algeria and the polisario front, who have long supported the "sadr".
This move is seen as a new chapter in the evolving relationship between Morocco and Ecuador, aligning with the growing international support for Morocco’s autonomy initiative as a realistic solution to the Sahara conflict. The timing of this announcement, just before the renewal of the MINURSO mandate, underscores the increasing momentum behind Morocco’s position.
Recent developments further highlight this trend. The opening of consulates in Saharan cities, the ambitious Morocco-Nigeria gas pipeline project, and the Royal Atlantic initiative all emphasize the strategic and economic importance of the region. These initiatives not only bolster Morocco’s stance but also send a clear message to global superpowers, international partners, and the United Nations: a political solution based on Morocco’s Autonomy plan is the way forward.
Morocco’s efforts to enhance connectivity and foster prosperity in the Atlantic region are viewed as crucial steps towards resolving the Sahara conflict through dialogue and in accordance with Security Council resolutions. As international support continues to grow, Morocco’s vision for a peaceful and prosperous Sahara appears increasingly within reach.
