Julissa Reynoso: Moroccan autonomy plan is “logical and practical”

Julissa Reynoso, the US Ambassador to Spain, confirmed her country’s support for Morocco’s Sahara autonomy project, calling it “fair and practical.”
“The United States believes the Moroccan autonomy proposal for the Sahara is realistic and viable,” said Mrs. Reynoso, who was a guest on the Spanish radio station “Cadena Ser” on Saturday evening.
“During talks with the parties concerned, the United States is lobbying for this option,” the diplomat, a former assistant to US President Joe Biden, said.
“We support the United Nations-led mechanism to address this dispute, as well as Morocco’s initiative,” Ms. Reynoso stated.
Following Madrid’s decision to embrace the Moroccan autonomy offer as the only serious, practical, and sustainable solution to the regional dispute over the Moroccan Sahara, the American envoy stated on Spanish radio.
A US State Department Spokesperson informed the Spanish news agencies “EFE” and “Europa press” on Saturday that Washington shares Spain’s position on the Moroccan Sahara issue.
“We continue to consider the autonomy plan presented by Morocco as serious, credible and realistic” and which has a clear potential to meet the aspirations of the populations of the region, he declared.
