U.S. Think Tank Calls for Swift Opening of Consulate in Moroccan Sahara and Designation of Polisario as a Terrorist Organization
ALDAR/
In a notable development following a controversial article published by The Washington Post, a prominent Washington-based think tank has issued a series of strategic recommendations aimed at redefining U.S. policy regarding the Moroccan Sahara.
Among the key proposals is the call to expedite the opening of a U.S. consulate in Morocco’s southern provinces. This move is seen as a tangible show of support for Morocco’s autonomy initiative and a step toward strengthening bilateral cooperation and promoting regional stability.
The report also emphasizes the need to reassess the way regional actors are treated on the international stage. In this context, the center recommends officially designating the Polisario Front as a terrorist organization, citing its alleged suspicious links and actions that threaten security and peace in the region.
The message from Washington is now clear: the United States is showing growing support for Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara while taking a firmer stance against destabilizing actors in the region. This shift could mark a major realignment in U.S. foreign policy in North Africa and lay the groundwork for a more stable and secure regional order.
