France recognizes the Moroccanness of the Sahara: Emmanuel Macron changes the situation



Long awaited by Rabat, France’s recognition of the Moroccanness of the Sahara is now effective. French President Emmanuel Macron “considers that the present and future of Western Sahara are part of Moroccan sovereignty.”


France is now following in the footsteps of the United States, Israel, Germany and Spain, which have officially recognized Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara. In a message addressed to King Mohammed VI commemorating the 25th anniversary of his enthronement, the French president assured the Moroccan sovereign of “the inviolability of the French position on this national security issue for the Kingdom,” the royal office said in a statement. France “intends to act in accordance with this position nationally and internationally,” Emmanuel Macron added.
