Morocco’s participation in this major international gathering was represented by Zineb El Adaoui, President of the Moroccan Court of Auditors and the first woman to hold the prestigious post. Her presence marked a significant diplomatic breakthrough in one of the strongholds of anti-Moroccan hostility: South Africa.
A powerful political symbol in the face of the Kingdom’s opponents
The official display of Morocco’s full territorial map, including its southern provinces, on visual materials at this high-level event held in South Africa stands as a direct diplomatic setback for Algeria’s military regime and its ideological allies, particularly within the South African government.
It is a firm response to decades of propaganda orchestrated by Algiers and Pretoria aimed at pushing a separatist illusion in the Moroccan Sahara. This implicit acknowledgment of the Moroccan identity of the Sahara at such a prominent international event confirms the ongoing and irreversible momentum in favor of Morocco’s territorial integrity.
A sovereign diplomacy driven by the vision of King Mohammed VI
Morocco’s participation in this global summit aligns with a proactive diplomatic approach rooted in principles of good governance, transparency, and global engagement. Under the wise leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Morocco continues to cement its status as an emerging African power focused on sustainable development, South-South cooperation, and the peaceful resolution of conflicts.
Zineb El Adaoui’s presence alongside heads of top financial oversight institutions from G20 countries reflects Morocco’s growing influence in elite international spheres.
Unprecedented support from a key South African political figure
What stood out even more during this event was the official position taken by the South African political party Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK Party), led by former President Jacob Zuma. In a statement published on its website, the party expressed its support for Morocco’s sovereignty over its Sahara and recognized the Moroccan autonomy plan as the only serious, credible, and realistic solution to what it described as an artificial conflict inherited from the Cold War.
This unexpected endorsement by an influential South African political actor may signal the beginning of a geopolitical shift in the region. It is nothing short of a diplomatic earthquake for Algeria, whose strategy of surrounding Morocco with hostile positions is gradually collapsing under the weight of regional realities and the pragmatism of African states.
This implicit yet powerful recognition, coupled with the evolving political stance in South Africa, signals the dawn of a new era. Backed by historical legitimacy, robust institutions, and the visionary drive of its Monarch, Morocco is now asserting its red lines and charting its future with confidence and determination, both on the African continent and the global stage.
