The UK's foreign minister, David Lammy, announced Sunday in Rabat that the autonomy plan under Moroccan sovereignty for Western Sahara was "the most credible basis" to achieve a solution for this territory, marking a shift in the British position previously aligned with the principle of self-determination for its inhabitants.
London "considers the autonomy proposal presented by Morocco in 2007 as the most credible, viable, and pragmatic basis for a lasting settlement of the dispute," Lammy said to the press. Western Sahara, a former Spanish colony, is largely controlled by Rabat but considered a non-self-governing territory by the United Nations. An armed conflict has been opposing Morocco to the independence-seeking Polisario Front, supported by Algiers, for 50 years.
