The 2nd AUSACO Policy Conference Kickstarts in Dakhla

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."

The high-level conference, which will be attended by prominent AUSACO figures, aims to foster discussion on the regional dispute from multiple perspectives, in light of recent developments at the United Nations, the evolving geopolitical landscape, ground realities, and the Royal Atlantic Initiative launched by His Majesty King Mohammed VI on the occasion of the 48th anniversary of the Green March.

Former ambassadors, academics, journalists and lawyers from Africa, Europe, Asia and Latin America are expected to participate.

The event will feature several panels and discussions, alongside field visits to major development projects aligned with the New Development Model for the Southern Provinces, notably the Dakhla Atlantic Port.

AUSACO is an independent and autonomous organization bringing together more than 3,000 politicians, parliamentarians, diplomats, academics, journalists, lawyers and civil society representatives from across all continents. Its common objective is to advocate within political, parliamentary and academic circles in favor of Morocco’s Autonomy Initiative as the sole and definitive solution to the regional dispute.
