The UK's role in resolving Western Sahara's frozen conflict
The Western Sahara conflict is a "frozen conflict" that has resisted resolution for decades. The situation is characterized by militant groups, external parties, and humanitarian suffering, leading to instability and violence. Morocco has proposed a solution called the Moroccan Autonomy Plan for Western Sahara, which offers self-government under Moroccan sovereignty. This plan has received support from key allies and is seen as the best way to achieve peace and prosperity in the region. Critics of the plan offer no credible alternative, while those who remain neutral often have their own regional agendas. The large refugee population living in camps in Algeria is caught in a state of inertia, extremism, or migration. The implementation of the Moroccan Autonomy Plan offers the prospect of employment and prosperity, while the alternatives pose security risks. The UK should support Morocco's initiative, as it aligns with shared interests in the rule of law, human rights, and sustainable…

Roundup: Morocco steal limelight on day of World Cup drama

DOHA, Nov. 27 (Xinhua) -- The upsets continued on day eight of the 2022 FIFA World Cup on Sunday as Morocco claimed their first victory in 24 years at the tournament by overcoming Belgium 2-0. The African side's last win in a World Cup match came in 1998 when they beat Scotland 3-0 in Saint-Etienne, France.

DOHA, Qatar (AP) — Morocco pulled off yet another World Cup shock on Sunday, and Belgium’s aging “Golden Generation” took the hit this time. The 2-0 upset left Kevin de Bruyne and the 2018 semifinalists in peril of a group-stage exit at what is likely the final World Cup for a highly-talented Belgian group that haven't managed to convert their promise into prizes.It might now be too late.De Bruyne didn't drive Belgium forward against Morocco, captain Eden Hazard was taken off after an hour, and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was probably at fault for the opening goal.“We haven't seen the best Belgium yet,” said Roberto Martinez, a Spaniard who has coached the team for six years. “We haven't been ourselves.”Belgium could have become the second team behind defending champion France to advance to the last 16 if it beat Morocco. But it dropped from first to third in Group F and now plays against 2018 World Cup finalist Croatia trying to avoid its earliest…
