Sefrou – October 31, 2025 – In an atmosphere charged with national joy and pride, Mr. Abu Zaid, Governor of Sefrou Province, joined the local population in celebrations marking the United Nations Security Council’s adoption of Resolution 2756 (2024) on the Moroccan Sahara. The resolution secured 12 affirmative votes without a veto, affirming Morocco’s autonomy plan under its sovereignty as the “most viable” solution to the fabricated conflict. The city witnessed spontaneous mass gatherings in public squares, with national flags raised and chants of “The Sahara is Moroccan” echoing, expressing popular unity around the Throne and territorial integrity on the 50th anniversary of the Green March.
Context of the UN Resolution: Historic Diplomatic Victory
The resolution was adopted this evening in New York, with only abstentions from Russia and Mozambique, extending the MINURSO mandate for an additional year until October 31, 2026, and requesting an update to the Moroccan plan as the sole basis for negotiations. This follows support from over 100 countries for Moroccan sovereignty and serves as international confirmation of a realistic political solution, as described by His Majesty the King in his Royal Address. The decision ignited similar celebrations in Moroccan cities like Rabat and Casablanca, as well as diaspora gatherings in Europe, reflecting national consensus on territorial unity.
Local Reactions in Sefrou and the Region
Residents of Sefrou expressed “overwhelming happiness” with the resolution, viewing it as “a victory for all Moroccans.” One participant stated: “The Governor joining us expresses true unity; the Sahara is an inseparable part of our homeland.” In the regional context, this celebration is part of a nationwide wave of joy, with expectations for enhanced development projects in the area, such as the Ain Chkak industrial hub highlighted in a previous session of the Sefrou Chamber of Commerce.
Future Impacts: Boost to Development and Stability
The resolution is expected to increase investments in the southern provinces by 20%, positively impacting northern regions like Fez-Meknes. The Governor’s appearance symbolizes local solidarity, reinforcing confidence in government efforts for comprehensive development.
These celebrations in Sefrou reflect high national spirit and affirm that “the Sahara is in its Morocco, and Morocco is in its Sahara,” as echoed by citizens.
