By putting an end to any truncated representation of Morocco’s national territory, this Libyan institution affirms a reality that is now widely acknowledged on the international stage: the Sahara is Moroccan, legally, historically and politically. Far from being symbolic, this move reflects a deliberate commitment to respecting the Kingdom’s territorial integrity, at a time when diplomatic clarity has become a key marker of credibility at the regional level.
This development is not the result of chance. It is the direct outcome of Morocco’s consistent, calm and strategic diplomacy, led under the enlightened guidance of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, who has positioned North Africa and the African continent as spaces for cooperation, stability and mutual respect. The support expressed by the Libyan authorities in Benghazi fits within a broader recognition of the constructive role played by Rabat in supporting Libya’s national reconciliation process.
The official meeting between the Consul General of Morocco in Benghazi and Libyan officials, marked by the display of a map of the Kingdom in its full territorial integrity, sends a clear message: Moroccan-Libyan relations rest on solid, fraternal and strategic foundations, well beyond short-term considerations or attempts to create confusion.
This stance also confirms a broader trend. Hostile manoeuvres targeting Morocco’s national cause are gradually losing all resonance, confronted by a Moroccan diplomacy rooted in international law, political realism and the building of win-win partnerships.
Morocco moves forward, convinces and brings partners together. And with each new recognition, each institutional gesture, each corrected map, one undeniable reality is reaffirmed: the truth of the Moroccan Sahara is asserting itself, naturally and durably.
