Ghana backs Morocco’s Western Sahara autonomy plan

Ghana said on Thursday it supports Morocco’s autonomy plan as the sole basis to resolve the Western Sahara dispute under UN auspices, joining a growing number of Western, African, and Arab nations backing Rabat. The decades-old conflict opposes Morocco, which claims the territory, against the Algeria-backed Polisario Front seeking independence. Following talks in Rabat, Ghana and Morocco called the plan "the only realistic and sustainable solution," urging UN-led efforts. The move follows recent endorsements by Kenya and the UK, signaling diplomatic gains for Morocco.
