French President Emmanuel Macron received a warm welcome from representatives of civil society in Rabat, following France’s recognition of Morocco’s sovereignty over its southern regions. This recognition represents an important step that supports Moroccan rights and strengthens the historical ties between the two countries. France’s position, as a permanent member of the Security Council, is a strategic move that enhances international legitimacy regarding the Moroccanity of the Sahara, given its deep understanding of the region’s history and Morocco’s rights to it.
During this reception, many Moroccan citizens expressed their pride in the French decision, viewing it as a significant victory for Morocco that reflects France’s understanding of the historical and geographical realities confirming the Moroccanity of the Sahara. This visit coincides with Morocco’s celebrations of the anniversary of the Green March, a symbol of the recovery of the southern regions and the affirmation of the country’s unity.
The French initiative is a major support for Morocco’s position on the international stage, where Moroccans hope that this decision will encourage other countries to recognize the Moroccanity of the Sahara, thus contributing to regional stability. This recognition also reflects the rapid transformations in the international stance in favor of Morocco and reaffirms Morocco’s distinguished status on the global stage.
The Moroccan people continue to celebrate visits from international figures who support their legitimate rights, emphasizing the importance of national unity under the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God protect him, who has laid the foundations of security and stability, thereby reaffirming the unity of the country from north to south.
