Guinea backs Morocco’s Sahara autonomy plan as ‘sole solution’ to dispute

Guinea has reaffirmed its support for Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara, describing autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty as the only solution to the longstanding dispute.

The Guinean government opened the consulate in Dakhla in January 2020, a move Morocco has cited as evidence of Guinea’s support for its position on the Sahara.“The Republic of Guinea reaffirms its steadfast and unwavering support for the Moroccanness of the Sahara and for Morocco’s sovereignty over this part of its territory.”
