Very interesting! Morocco still has a significant Jewish presence. Proclamation on Recognizing The Sovereignty Of The Kingdom Of Morocco Over The Western Sahara ALL NEWS NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim that, the United States recognizes that the entire Western Sahara territory is part of the Kingdom of Morocco. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this DONALD J. TRUMP So, an autonomous state under the sovereign control of Morocco? Could this be the template for a "Palestinian" state? Also, as of note, this will greatly annoy Algeria. I thought that Canada had pulled back on training the Chinese military when pressured by the USA. Our Crime Minister actually has been training Chinese military. This is absolutely disgusting. I could not be more ashamed and embarrassed about my country. :negative: The Vatican’s nativity scene is disturbing, to say the least. :wacko: Arthur, absolutely and totally disgusting. After reading the article, I would agree with Dr. Lev, causes a mockery! What a shameful display toted as art from the Vatican, not that I’m Catholic, but it speaks to the level they have stooped too — very sad, but not unexpected. :wacko: :scratch: Yeah. I wouldn't want to stand before the Creator and King of the Universe and having to admit to have created the toilet paper roll jesus. This is definitely blasphemous. I am sure most Catholics would say the same.
Here is the official statement:
FOREIGN POLICY
Issued on: December 10, 2020
The United States affirms, as stated by previous Administrations, its support for Morocco’s autonomy proposal as the only basis for a just and lasting solution to the dispute over the Western Sahara territory. Therefore, as of today, the United States recognizes Moroccan sovereignty over the entire Western Sahara territory and reaffirms its support for Morocco’s serious, credible, and realistic autonomy proposal as the only basis for a just and lasting solution to the dispute over the Western Sahara territory. The United States believes that an independent Sahrawi State is not a realistic option for resolving the conflict and that genuine autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty is the only feasible solution. We urge the parties to engage in discussions without delay, using Morocco’s autonomy plan as the only framework to negotiate a mutually acceptable solution. To facilitate progress toward this aim, the United States will encourage economic and social development with Morocco, including in the Western Sahara territory, and to that end will open a consulate in the Western Sahara territory, in Dakhla, to promote economic and business opportunities for the region.
fourth day of December, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-fifth.
