In a significant diplomatic move that bolsters Morocco’s position and exposes Algerian claims as false, France has implicitly recognized the Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara and supported the autonomy initiative under Moroccan sovereignty. This shift, coming after years of hesitation, represents a diplomatic triumph for Morocco in a dispute where Algeria has long been a key player.
Debunking Algerian Propaganda
This French recognition has incited Algeria’s anger, prompting it to attack both France and Morocco in an official statement. Algeria described the development as a “collusion between old and new colonial powers,” reflecting its desperate attempts to tarnish Morocco’s image and propagate baseless narratives.
Algeria, which has always sought to exacerbate the conflict by supporting the separatist Polisario Front, now faces a new reality that strengthens Morocco’s position and supports its sovereignty over Western Sahara. France, once involved in dividing vast territories, including Eastern Sahara which Algeria ceded to the Polisario Front, is now reassessing its policies and supporting Morocco’s rightful claim.
A Step Towards Truth and Justice
While France’s statement is not entirely official, it represents a confirmation of support for Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara and reflects a strategic shift in relations between Paris and Rabat. This move follows a period of strained relations due to misguided policies and enhances Morocco’s standing on the international stage.
France now seems to recognize that its economic and political interests necessitate a strategic partnership with Morocco, a trusted international ally playing a crucial role in a sensitive region. French investments in Moroccan Sahara and visits by French officials to Rabat reflect a clear commitment to supporting Morocco’s autonomy initiative as the sole solution to end the fabricated conflict.
The End of the Colonial Era
With growing international support for Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara, these developments signal the end of an era where Morocco’s fate was manipulated by colonial powers. The phrase “The truth has come, and falsehood has vanished” vividly illustrates how the falsehoods intended to destabilize Morocco are crumbling before the truth, highlighting the global endorsement of Morocco’s right to Western Sahara.
In conclusion, the French recognition of Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara is a diplomatic victory for Morocco and marks the end of a period of tension and dispute, paving the way for a new era of cooperation and partnership between Morocco and France.
