UK backs Morocco's plan for autonomy in Western Sahara, aligning with US and France.

The UK now supports Morocco's 2007 autonomy plan for Western Sahara, considering it the most viable solution to the longstanding dispute. The plan, which offers limited self-rule under Moroccan control, has also gained support from the US and France. The UK's endorsement is a shift from its previous stance and could lead to economic benefits for both countries. The UN, however, continues to call for negotiations without preconditions.
