As the international debate over the Moroccan Sahara increasingly revolves around Morocco\u2019s autonomy plan, analysts say the Polisario Front continues to rely on the 1988 U.N.\u2013OAU Settlement Plan, a framework they describe as outdated and no longer viable.<\/p>\n
In a recent statement, the self-proclaimed \u201cSahrawi government\u201d reiterated readiness to engage in U.N.-led talks, calling the 1988 plan \u201cthe only practical and consensual agreement\u201d between Morocco and the Polisario.<\/p>\n
But experts argue the plan has long been overtaken by political realities and subsequent U.N. Security Council resolutions. \u201cIt has become a dead letter,\u201d said Mohamed Atif, professor of international relations at Chouaib Doukkali University. \u201cBy clinging to it, the Polisario is trying to revive a politically defunct project that only prolongs the conflict and the suffering in Tindouf camps.\u201d<\/p>\n
Atif added that the Polisario\u2019s selective focus on old resolutions, while ignoring more recent U.N. language praising Morocco\u2019s autonomy initiative, reflects \u201ca deliberate attempt to freeze the debate at an unworkable stage.\u201d He noted that Morocco\u2019s growing economic, diplomatic and security role in Africa has further isolated the group.<\/p>\n
Jouad El Kassmi, a researcher in international law, said the 1988 plan was rendered impracticable by disputes over voter identification and later admissions by U.N. mediator James Baker that it could not be implemented. \u201cSecurity Council terminology has shifted since Morocco presented its autonomy plan in 2007,\u201d El Kassmi said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe focus is now on a \u2018realistic, practical and compromise-based\u2019 political solution, not on organizing a referendum.\u201d<\/p>\n
El Kassmi argued that the Polisario\u2019s insistence on the old plan is a survival strategy, as abandoning it would undermine its claim to exist as a \u201cliberation movement.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added that Morocco\u2019s return to the African Union in 2017 severely weakened the Polisario\u2019s influence in Africa, where many states have since withdrawn recognition of the group.<\/p>\n
Both analysts stressed Algeria\u2019s central role in backing the Polisario politically and militarily. They said the Moroccan autonomy initiative remains the only realistic pathway toward ending the decades-long dispute while ensuring stability and development in the region.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
