It is high time that France and the European Union (EU) support Morocco in its position concerning the Sahara, underlined, on Monday, Claude Kern, Senator of Bas-Rhin, vice-president of the European Affairs Commission at the French Senate.

A rally in solidarity with population held captive in the Tindouf camps in Algeria was organized in Paris on Saturday, at the initiative of a group of associations of Moroccans from Europe.

Kenya's vice-president William Ruto has said that the autonomy plan under Moroccan sovereignty in the southern provinces "is the best solution to the Sahara issue".

From the repression of the Hirak movement to human rights violations in the Tindouf camps, including persecution against religious minorities, the abuses committed by Algeria and its puppet the polisario have been strongly decried on the occasion of the 46th session of the UN Rights Council.
