North Africa: Morocco, Polisario determined to pursue Sahara talks

Despite a series of stalled talks in New York, Morocco remains committed to the process of negotiations with the Polisario, in pursuit of a lasting solution to the dispute over Western Sahara. That was the message conveyed by King Mohammed VI in a royal address last Wednesday (July 30th) in Fez. "The relentless efforts of our bold diplomacy have resulted in substantial positive development," said the king.
