RABAT (Reuters) -Ghana said on Thursday it considers a Moroccan autonomy plan as the sole basis to settle the Western Sahara dispute within the framework of the UN, aligning itself with a growing number of Western, African and Arab countries that back Rabat's position on the long-frozen conflict.
Ghana "considers the autonomy plan presented by the Kingdom of Morocco as the only realistic and sustainable basis to a mutually agreed solution to the issue," said a joint statement issued after talks between Ghana's foreign minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, and his Moroccan counterpart, Nasser Bourita in Rabat.
