British Foreign Minister David Lammy forcefully confirmed the United Kingdom\u2019s support for Morocco\u2019s Autonomy Plan during today\u2019s address to the House of Commons.
Doha – British Foreign Minister David Lammy forcefully confirmed the United Kingdom\u2019s support for Morocco\u2019s Autonomy Plan during today\u2019s address to the House of Commons, declaring it \u201cthe most credible, viable and pragmatic basis for resolving the conflict\u201d over the Western Sahara.<\/span>
This parliamentary statement reinforced his groundbreaking position already announced<\/a> during his weekend visit to Rabat.<\/span>
\u201cDuring my visit to Morocco, I announced the United Kingdom\u2019s support for the autonomy proposal presented by Morocco, considering it the most credible, viable and pragmatic basis for a solution to the conflict,\u201d Lammy proclaimed<\/a> to members of the lower house of Westminster Parliament.<\/span>
The British diplomatic chief spotlighted the urgent need for resolution as the dispute approaches a half-century milestone. \u201cAs we approach the 50th anniversary of the conflict, and with renewed international engagement, an opportunity presents itself to move things forward in this conflict,\u201d he asserted.<\/span>
During his historic visit to Morocco on Sunday \u2013 the first by a British foreign minister since 2011 \u2013 Lammy had already shattered<\/a> diplomatic ambiguity by explicitly backing Morocco\u2019s position.<\/span>
According to the Financial Times, this represented \u201ca pure and simple recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over the Sahara,\u201d marking a pragmatic decision aligned with Britain\u2019s \u201cprogressive realism\u201d in foreign policy.<\/span>
During his address to MPs, Lammy stressed the strategic importance London places on strengthening ties with Morocco, characterizing the two kingdoms as \u201clongstanding partners collaborating on various common priorities.\u201d<\/span>
He noted that Rabat and London are actively elevating their partnership \u201cto promote our common goals in security, prosperity, and sustainable development.\u201d<\/span>
Britain dismantles Algeria\u2019s separatist theatre<\/b><\/span>
This unequivocal British stance deals a devastating blow to the Polisario Front\u2019s fabricated separatist agenda and brutally exposes the futility of Algeria\u2019s decades-long, hostile crusade to sabotage Morocco\u2019s sovereignty.<\/span>
The backing from a permanent UN Security Council member further isolates the increasingly desperate Algerian regime, which has stubbornly clung to its failed proxy war strategy.<\/span>
Algeria\u2019s reaction betrayed its diplomatic panic. The regime hastily issued<\/a> a flimsy statement claiming to have \u201ctaken note\u201d of Britain\u2019s new position while \u201cregretting the UK\u2019s choice to support Morocco\u2019s Autonomy Plan.\u201d<\/span>
In a transparent attempt to distort reality, Algerian officials brazenly misrepresented Lammy\u2019s statements, falsely claiming he had made declarations supporting self-determination during the press conference \u2013 a blatant fabrication contradicted by the official Moroccan-British joint press statement.<\/span>
The Algerian foreign ministry\u2019s desperate attempt to denounce the \u201cemptiness\u201d of Morocco\u2019s autonomy initiative rings hollow, as the plan now enjoys support from a commanding majority of the international community.<\/span>
Global momentum crushes Polisario delusion<\/b><\/span>
Algeria\u2019s obstinate refusal to recognize diplomatic reality shows its growing isolation as a destabilizing force, desperately throwing billions in gas revenues at a hollow, outdated fantasy \u2013 an antiquated separatist chimera disconnected from 21st-century geopolitical realities and one that no longer holds any weight.<\/span>
As if the UK\u2019s endorsement weren\u2019t enough, Kenya\u2019s recent shift<\/a> in favor of Morocco\u2019s position delivers yet another seismic diplomatic strike against Algeria in a remarkably short timeframe.<\/span>
This accelerating avalanche of international support against the separatist agenda confirms the growing global consensus that Morocco\u2019s Autonomy Plan is the only credible and forward-looking solution.<\/span>
London\u2019s position aligns perfectly with its economic interests<\/a> in the region. Trade between the two kingdoms has exploded, with commercial exchanges reaching \u00a33.8 billion and growing from MAD 22.9 billion in 2022 to a staggering MAD 48.5 billion in 2024. Morocco\u2019s exports to Britain have nearly tripled since their association agreement took effect.<\/span>
During the 5th Strategic Dialogue session held during Lammy\u2019s visit to Rabat, both sides signed several memorandums of understanding covering priority areas including migration, counter-terrorism, education, climate change, health, and infrastructure development.<\/span>
Lammy reaffirmed both countries\u2019 commitment to an international order based on fundamental UN Charter principles, emphasizing \u201cthe importance of respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of States.\u201d<\/span>
Beyond diplomatic support, the UK has committed substantial financial firepower to the region. UK Export Finance has received<\/a> the green light to back projects directly in Western Sahara, mobilizing \u00a35 billion to support economic initiatives throughout Morocco, including its southern provinces.<\/span>
The UK also views Morocco as a crucial energy partner through the ambitious X-Links mega-project<\/a>, designed to supply 7 million British households with clean solar electricity from a Guelmim power plant via a massive 3,800 km undersea cable.<\/span>
With France, Spain, and now the United Kingdom \u2013 all European powers historically entangled in the region \u2013 firmly backing Morocco\u2019s position, the Polisario Front\u2019s separatist delusion continues to crumble while Algeria\u2019s misguided regional hegemonic ambitions face catastrophic collapse.<\/span>
