On Friday 31st October 2025, in New York, the United Nations Security Council adopted a historic resolution that marks a decisive turning point in the process of resolving the regional dispute surrounding the Moroccan Sahara.
The resolution 2797, supported by 11 of the Council’s 15 members, expresses its full support for the UN Secretary-General and his Personal Envoy in conducting the political process, based on the Moroccan Autonomy Initiative, described as a “just, lasting, and mutually acceptable” solution. Only three countries abstained, while no votes were cast against the text.
For the first time, a Security Council resolution explicitly refers to autonomy “under Moroccan sovereignty,” thereby cementing the position defended by Rabat since 2007 as the sole and realistic framework for a settlement.
The Security Council called on all parties to engage in good faith and without preconditions in the forthcoming negotiations, emphasizing that the Autonomy Plan remains “the most serious, realistic and credible” solution for definitively ending this dispute.
A Clear-sighted and Steadfast Royal Vision
The Security Council resolution enshrines a reality that the entire world now recognizes: the bold and strategic vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI has successfully transformed a complex dossier into a model for a lasting political solution. True to His method based on patience, constancy, and serenity in action, the Sovereign has prevailed in establishing realism and historical legitimacy over rigid postures.
The enlightened and proactive Royal Diplomacy has anticipated geopolitical shifts and framed the Sahara issue within the logic of law, development, and international consensus.
The Triumph of the Vision of Realism and Consensus
The Autonomy Plan, championed with conviction by Morocco under the leadership of the Sovereign, is now at the heart of the international consensus, recognized as the only serious and credible basis for a definitive political solution.
Thus, the international community is aligning with an approach that His Majesty the King has defended for nearly two decades, proof of the correctness and relevance of this Royal vision. This evolution marks a major diplomatic turning point, the fruit of a strategy that is both bold and patiently constructed, which has succeeded in rallying Morocco’s partners around a just cause and a realistic solution.
Royal Management Combining Boldness and Patience.
The Royal approach is distinguished by boldness in decision-making and patience in implementation, hallmarks of lucid and unifying leadership.
It is in this spirit that the King of Morocco never yielded to haste or escalation: He chose the quiet strength of law and development, convinced that time always ultimately consecrates truth and legitimacy.
It is this constancy of vision and coherence in action that have allowed the Sahara dossier to be transformed into a lever for stability and regional cooperation.
The Sahara: A Showcase of Development and Modernity
Under the enlightened leadership of His Majesty the King, the Moroccan Sahara has risen to the status of an integrated development hub, embodying on the ground the dynamics of the New Development Model for the Southern Provinces. Structural investments in infrastructure, renewable energy, logistics, fisheries, education, and health illustrate the Royal will to make the Sahara an engine of regional and African prosperity.
It should be noted that shortly after the adoption of the resolution, the King of Morocco delivered a speech in which he described this event as a “historic turning point” confirming Morocco’s sovereignty over its Southern Provinces. The Sovereign also thanked friendly countries for their diplomatic support and extended a hand to Algeria to “turn the page of misunderstandings” and build a future of cooperation.
Just minutes after the resolution was adopted, several Moroccan cities, erupted in joy. Across the country, citizens took to the streets to celebrate their attachment to national unity. With waved flags, patriotic songs, and enthusiastic cheers, the festive atmosphere illuminated the night of Friday.
