  1. Submission statement:

    > The UK backed Morocco’s plan to administer the disputed territory of Western Sahara, in a historic shift mirroring moves by France and the US.

    > London considers Morocco’s proposal, under which it would hold sovereignty over the territory while granting it limited autonomy, the “most credible and viable and pragmatic basis” to resolve the half-century dispute, Foreign Secretary David Lammy said Sunday.

    A shift that took surprisingly long, also to be noted Kenya a few days ago also supported the Moroccan autonomy plan.
    Question remains, will algeria pull its ambassador from the UK this time?

  2. Remember when everyone had a hissy fit that a tiny territory that everyone knew couldn’t be self-governing, was recognized as Morrocan?
