Algeria ‘regrets' Britain backing Morocco autonomy plan for W.Sahara
ALGIERS: Algeria's foreign ministry said it 'regrets' Britain's decision on Sunday to support Morocco's automony plan for the disputed territory of Western Sahara, overturning a decades-long policy in favor of self-determination.
'Algeria regrets the choice made by the United Kingdom to support to the Moroccan autonomy plan. In 18 years of existence, this plan has never been submitted to the Sahrawis as a basis for negotiation, nor has it ever been taken seriously by the successive UN envoys,' the ministry said in a statement.
