For Rabat, after the decision of the United States to recognize the sovereignty of Morocco over its Sahara, "a similar step should naturally follow on the part of Europe", writes InsideOver, noting that on this subject, "the international community is now moving towards a solution in line with the autonomy plan presented by Morocco in 2007".

For the Italian magazine, "the European countries officially maintain a position of neutrality, considered by Rabat as passive, that is to say that it does not contribute to the final solution of the dispute but, on the contrary, maintains the status quo which undermines regional stability and integration".

InsideOver highlights the scope of the decision of the United States which marked a "turning point" by recognizing the full sovereignty of Morocco over the entire territory of the Sahara, while reaffirming its support for the serious, credible and realistic autonomy proposal by Morocco as the only basis for a just and lasting solution to this regional dispute.

The United States has given official status to its position on the Sahara issue, it said, recalling that, since Rabat presented the autonomy proposal in 2007, Washington has always supported the idea of ​​granting Morocco sovereignty over the Sahara. 

With this decision, the United States hopes to move forwards with the process of settling this long-running issue, it notes.

After Washington's decision, Brussels' position changed, notes the publication, recalling that, in a recent interview on the issue relating to the new position of the United States, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Abroad, Nasser Bourita, invited the EU to join this new international dynamic.

The magazine underlines that, for Morocco, the American turning point is a natural evolution of the position of the United States which, since 2007, considers the Moroccan autonomy initiative as a serious and realistic basis for finding a definitive solution to the regional dispute.
