The third edition of the Policy Conference of The Coalition for Autonomy in the Sahara (AUSACO) opened this Wednesday in Dakhla, bringing together leading figures from the worlds of academia, diplomacy, and politics, alongside civil society representatives.

This two-day conference takes place within a new and unprecedented context, driven by the historic adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 2797. This resolution enshrines the Autonomy Plan under Moroccan sovereignty as the sole political solution to the regional dispute over the Moroccan Sahara.

Italian parliamentarians said that the autonomy plan put forward by Morocco is a serious, credible and realistic solution that now stands out as a preferred path towards a peaceful settlement of this conflict.

Speaking at the 2nd Policy Conference of the Coalition for Autonomy in the Sahara (AUSACO) in Dakhla on Tuesday, MPs Ettore Rosato and Ouidad Bakkali emphasized the growing momentum behind the Moroccan initiative, which continues to garner broadening international support.

Participants at the 2nd Policy Conference of the Coalition for Sahara Autonomy (AUSACO), held Tuesday in Dakhla, called for a “revisited UN approach” to the Moroccan Sahara issue, in response to evolving geopolitical dynamics and new facts on the ground.

The second Policy Conference of the Autonomy for the Sahara Coalition (AUSACO) will take place on April 29 and 30 in Dakhla, under the theme: "The New Reality of the Moroccan Sahara: A Pathway for a Revisited UN Approach in an Ever-Changing Geopolitical context."
