Mauritius and Jamaica have voiced their support for Morocco's autonomy plan for Western Sahara, according to reports. The two nations join a growing list of countries that have expressed backing for the Moroccan initiative.
Morocco's autonomy plan, proposed in 2007, aims to grant Western Sahara a degree of self-governance while remaining under Moroccan sovereignty. The plan has been endorsed by several countries, including the United States, which recognized Moroccan sovereignty over the territory in 2020.
The support from Mauritius and Jamaica was announced during diplomatic engagements, though specific details of the statements were not immediately available. This development comes amid ongoing international discussions on the Western Sahara conflict.
The Polisario Front, which seeks independence for Western Sahara, has opposed the autonomy plan. The United Nations has been mediating peace talks to find a mutually acceptable solution.
