According to the Office des Changes, car exports totaled MAD 75.08 billion at the end of November 2021, up 12.8 percent from the same period in 2020. (Exchange office).

This is attributable to a 26.2 percent growth in sales in the building segment, according to the Office, which released its monthly foreign trade indicators for November, noting that sales in the wire segment fell marginally by 1.1 percent.

Furthermore, the Office said that the number of passenger automobiles exported increased by 12.8% to 317,068 vehicles at the end of November 2021.

Phosphate and derivatives sales were over MAD 69.19 billion at the end of November 2021, up 51.9 percent from the same period in 2020. This outcome follows a 65.4 percent increase in natural and chemical fertilizer sales (+MAD 14.73 billion) due to the pricing effect. Meanwhile, the amount of this product exported decreased by 8.6%.

The textile and leather sector generated MAD 33.49 billion in sales, up from MAD 27.74 billion the previous year. Exports of ready-made clothing (+MAD 4.08 billion), hosiery (+MAD 1.57 billion), and, to a lesser extent, shoes (+MAD 181 million) have all increased.

Agriculture and agribusiness exports, on the other hand, climbed by 10.2 percent, thanks to a simultaneous growth of MAD 3.37 billion in food industry sales, and MAD 2.27 billion in agriculture, forestry, and hunting exports.

However, the Office notes that this sector’s share of overall exports has dropped 2.3 percentage points, to 21.5 percent from 23.8 percent at the end of November 2020.

The United Nations General Assembly adopted the resolution of the Fourth Committee on the Moroccan Sahara on Thursday, enshrining the international community’s commitment to a diplomatic solution to this fictitious issue while fully respecting the Kingdom’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

This resolution reiterates the General Assembly’s support for the UN-sponsored political process, which has been based on Security Council decisions since 2007, in order to establish a “fair, enduring, and mutually acceptable political settlement” to this regional problem.

The approval of this resolution, as well as the arguments that took place at the Fourth Committee throughout the month of October and early November, have once again revealed Algeria’s outdated and declining attitudes on the Moroccan Sahara.

They indicate Algeria’s dwindling support, which can be numbered on one hand, but Morocco, thanks to the righteousness of its cause and the strength of its arguments, has the powerful, active, and ever-growing backing of the overwhelming majority of the world community.

Indeed, the debates on the occasion of the UNGA’s 4th Committee attest to a “resounding” and multiform support for Morocco’s first national cause, as well as the relevance of the autonomy initiative, within the framework of the Kingdom’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, as the only sustainable, realistic, and compromise solution to this conflict from another era.

During the 4th Committee, ambassadors and representatives from the world’s five regions were eager to highlight Morocco’s “credible” commitment and dedication within the framework of the UN political process aimed at reaching a realistic, pragmatic, sustainable, and compromise political solution to this regional conflict.

All through the deliberations, ambassadors and representatives of delegations and regional groups took the floor to show their support for Morocco’s sovereignty over its southern regions, as well as to emphasize the seriousness, credibility, and primacy of the Moroccan autonomy effort.

This emphatic and unqualified support for Morocco’s attitude and territorial integrity clearly demonstrates Morocco’s support, as well as the result of its diplomatic activity at all levels under the insightful and foresighted leadership of HM King Mohammed VI.

Indeed, in the United Nations, 163 countries, representing 85 percent of the organization’s Member States, refuse to recognize the fictitious entity of the Polisario, which Algeria illegally created.

In this respect, it is worth noting that the general debate of the Fourth Committee has confirmed, once again, the referendum’s death and final burial in favor of the consensual political solution to this problem, expressed by the Moroccan autonomy plan.
