Tindouf Return Not Defeat

Moroccan House of Councillors President Mohamed Ould Errachid called for the new phase in the Moroccan Sahara issue to be an opportunity to end the suffering of residents of the Tindouf camps. He stressed that returning to their homeland would not be a defeat and that another generation should not grow up under tents. He noted that 11 members of the Security Council had supported a draft resolution making the autonomy initiative under Moroccan sovereignty the basis for negotiations. Although the draft was not adopted, he said, that support reflected the growing realism of Morocco’s position. He outlined parliament’s responsibilities as strengthening parliamentary diplomacy, preparing legislation to keep pace with developments in the issue, and bolstering the domestic front.
