Zeinabou Taghi, President of the Mauritanian political party Namaa, has hailed the Moroccan Autonomy Plan as the most viable path toward resolving the regional dispute over the Moroccan Sahara and unlocking the Maghreb’s long-stalled integration.
In a statement to the Moroccan News Agency (MAP), Taghi emphasized that the Autonomy Plan, recently recognized by the United Nations Security Council resolution as the basis for settling the Sahara issue, “constitutes the most realistic and achievable solution.”
She said that adopting this plan “will allow the Maghreb region to overcome the deadlock in which it has long been mired,” adding that its implementation could mark a turning point for collective regional progress.
“Our region needs peace to address economic, social, and environmental challenges,” she stated, underlining that the persistence of the Sahara conflict “remains the main obstacle to the long-awaited regional integration.”
The Mauritanian leader stressed that a solution rooted in Morocco’s Autonomy Initiative would not only promote stability but also “put an end to the tragedy” faced by populations in the Tindouf camps, where living conditions “fall far short of the requirements for a dignified life.”
“It is time for the countries of the Maghreb to combine their efforts and build a common space capable of realizing the hopes and aspirations of their peoples,” Taghi concluded, noting that this shared vision remains inspired by “the dream of unity” that has long defined the region’s collective identity.
