The statements of the American Advisor for Middle East and African Affairs, in the interview conducted with him by Al-Hadath TV, were full of ambiguity and reservation, as he avoided providing clear answers to the fundamental questions related to the Western Sahara file, contenting himself with general diplomatic phrases that do not reflect a decisive position on the recent UN resolution.
The recent UN text did not provide a final settlement, but it drew a flexible framework that could be built upon politically and diplomatically if the sincere will of all parties was present.
The world has witnessed similar models, such as the experience of South Sudan, which chose independence after a transitional period of self-rule, which proves that interim solutions can pave the way towards a just and lasting settlement if there is trust and sufficient international guarantees.
The issue is no longer just a local or regional matter, but has become an arena of increasing international polarization that requires a clear strategy to deal with the issue in a way that preserves legitimate rights and avoids the region from further tension.
