The “serious and realistic” autonomy plan offered by Morocco for the Sahara under its sovereignty continues to gain a growing international support thanks to the far-sighted vision of King Mohammed VI who is tirelessly working for inclusive development, regional peace and shared prosperity. The supporters of Morocco’s territorial integrity are impressed by the socioeconomic development of the Sahara thanks to the $8 billion New Development Model (NDM) launched by King Mohammed VI in 2015. Last week, UK Oblin group announced plans to invest $100 billion in green energy projects to be carried out in the Saharan cities of Laayoune and Dakhla. The company’s plans include the option to expand further with large-scale renewable energy generation that would be used for the manufacturing of Green Hydrogen and Green Liquid Ammonia. These projects will create several job opportunities in the Saharan region, living in peace and stability, key factors of attracting investors.
