The UK has altered its approach to the Western Sahara conflict, with Foreign Secretary David Lammy asserting that Morocco's autonomy plan is the 'most credible' option for resolution. This change signifies a departure from prior support for a UN-sponsored referendum and aligns with several other Western nations' positions. Moroccan officials welcomed the UK's endorsement, stating it aids in achieving an acceptable solution. However, this repositioning is likely to provoke Algeria, which supports the Polisario Front in seeking independence for Western Sahara.
The Moroccan autonomy plan represents the 'most credible' position, offering a 'viable and pragmatic basis' for lasting resolution of the Western Sahara dispute.
This shift marks a turnaround from London's earlier support for a UN referendum on the future of Western Sahara, aligning with a number of other Western countries.
