Policy

Key Points

  • Gabon has reiterated its support for Morocco's sovereignty over the Sahara.
  • This position was reaffirmed during a meeting between the foreign ministers of Morocco and Gabon in Rabat.
  • Gabon backs Morocco's autonomy plan as the only credible and realistic solution to the regional dispute.
