France has reportedly signaled its support for Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara through the autonomy plan, a move that has not been confirmed by either Paris or Rabat. In a statement from the Algerian foreign ministry, it was revealed that France had communicated this decision to Algeria recently, causing surprise and regret.
While France officially maintains a stance of supporting a political solution in line with UN Security Council resolutions, it also views Morocco’s autonomy plan as a credible basis for discussions.
