A book that shows how a regional conflict has turned into goodwill of some countries and organizations, and calls for support of autonomy plan

The plot against the Moroccan Sahara disintegrates the entire region and makes it a lawlessness area, said, Thursday in Geneva, Director General of the Paris-based Observatory of Geopolitical Studies of Paris (OEG), Charles Saint-Prot.

Presenting at the Swiss Press Club a book entitled "Moroccan Sahara: the case of an artificial conflict," which he co-directed with other teachers and experts, the French geopolitician stressed that the polisario is one of the elements of this plot which seeks to cause regional destabilization.

He added that this book, written by experts from France, Germany, Spain, Senegal and Morocco shows that this regional dispute continues to be a source of benefits for some States, organizations and other groups that are stuck in the mentality of the Cold War. 

Saint-Prot said that the international community must act, without delay, for a lasting settlement of this issue on the basis of the only realistic and credible solution, which is the autonomy initiative, presented by Morocco. 

"It is urgent to find a solution to this issue at a time when entire states collapse in the region, leaving the field open to terrorists and separatists", he said. 
Stressing that Morocco is the only factor of stability at the regional level, the expert drew attention to the acquaintances of terrorist organizations that plague the Sahel-Saharan region and supporters of separatism.

"It is time that the international community fully supports Morocco, while clearly calling on Algeria to put an end to a crisis which is an additional destabilizing factor in the Sahel-Saharan region which witnesses the rise of extremist groups, "we read in the book.

The general secretary of the Association for the promotion of fundamental freedoms, Mr. Mathieu Cardon (France), for his part denounced the disinformation campaign orchestrated against the Kingdom on the issue of human rights.

"This campaign has purposes to distract public opinion and the international community from illegal activities in the neighboring region", remarked the lawyer, noting that " there is exploitation of human rights for political purposes. "

He said that this cannot affect reality, referring in this context to guarantee the protection of human rights in the Moroccan Sahara and the absence of any protection of fundamental freedoms in the Tindouf camps.

The discussions that took place after the presentation of the book focused on the development of the Saharan provinces, with an integrated business model, as well as the strengths of the autonomy proposal as the only same way to promote release of the continuing stalemate.

"Moroccan Sahara: the case of an artificial conflict" appeared under the direction of Mr. Saint-Prot, Jean-Yves de Cara, Professor of International Law at the University Paris Descartes-Sorbonne Paris Cité, and Christophe Boutin, professor of public law at the University of Caen Normandy. It is destined to researchers and students, but also to politicians, diplomats and more broadly to all who are interested in the geopolitics of the Maghreb and the Sahel-Saharan region.
