Maghreb Roundtable: Finding a Way Out: The Crisis in Western Sahara
On April 28, Professor John Damis urged Morocco to articulate a realistic and forthcoming plan to settle the long-simmering dispute over the Western Sahara. Damis, who spoke at the CSIS Middle East Program’s sixth Maghreb Roundtable, argued that international support was crucial to resolving the conflict, although doing so remained a low priority on the international agenda. The United Nations Secretary General’s recent report reflects a more favorable position toward Morocco, Damis argued, yet bold Moroccan action remains vital.
