This Tuesday, April 1, 2025, marks a major diplomatic milestone: France officially assumes the rotating Presidency of the United Nations Security Council. This strategic role comes at a pivotal moment, as international recognition of Morocco’s sovereignty over its Sahara continues to solidify, relegating the outdated propaganda of Algeria’s military junta to a state of increasing diplomatic isolation.
A French Presidency Under the Banner of Diplomacy and Stability
Renowned for its commitment to global peace and security, France, a permanent member of the Security Council, aims to inject a constructive dynamic into this UN body. True to its principles of dialogue and cooperation, Paris will address key issues, ranging from the fight against terrorism to the consolidation of peace processes in Africa and the Middle East.
In this context, France’s stance on the Moroccan Sahara issue further strengthens its image as a pragmatic and clear-sighted partner. For years, French diplomacy has been moving toward an increasing recognition of Morocco’s sovereignty over its Sahara, following the international trend led by major powers such as the United States and several European nations.
Algeria Isolated: The Spectacular Failure of an Outdated Strategy
While France prepares to play a key role at the Security Council, the Algerian regime finds itself in an increasingly embarrassing position. Algeria’s politico-military establishment, trapped in an archaic and ineffective foreign policy, struggles to conceal its distress in the face of the resounding failure of its hostile strategy against Morocco.
For decades, Algeria has used the Sahara issue as a propaganda tool, but today, its futile efforts are crumbling against diplomatic reality. The era when it could influence UN decisions through political maneuvering is over. Meanwhile, Morocco, backed by its historical legitimacy and constructive approach, continues to solidify its position on the international stage with the support of influential partners such as France.
Morocco: A Pillar of Regional Security
In the context of France’s presidency of the Security Council, Morocco emerges as an essential player in ensuring stability in the Maghreb and the Sahel. Its unwavering commitment to counterterrorism, its role as a mediator in several regional crises, and its sustainable development initiatives make it a credible and respected partner.
France’s growing support—along with that of other major nations—for Morocco’s sovereignty over its Sahara is no coincidence. It reflects a recognition of Rabat’s autonomy plan as a serious, realistic, and credible solution, widely endorsed by the international community.
An Opportunity to Strengthen Strategic Alliances
France’s Presidency of the Security Council presents an additional opportunity to strengthen ties between Paris and Rabat and to consolidate Morocco’s diplomatic achievements. In an ever-changing world, the resilience of this bilateral relationship remains a key factor in promoting peace and international cooperation.
As Morocco advances confidently on the global stage, Algeria sinks deeper into diplomatic isolation, unable to adapt to the realities of the 21st century. History is being written, and it no longer favors those clinging to outdated dogmas, but rather those who build, innovate, and unite.
