The Syrian National Salvation Front Calls for Recognition of Moroccan Sovereignty Over the Sahara and the Opening of a Consulate in Laayoune
In a statement issued on Tuesday, February 4, the Syrian National Salvation Front (FSN) urged Syrian authorities to reconnect with their « natural Arab and Islamic environment. » It also called for official recognition of Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara, along with the opening of a consulate in Laayoune.
The opposition group emphasized the importance of Damascus restoring its « historical and civilizational constants » by strengthening ties with nations that support « Arab unity and stability. » In this context, it praised Morocco, Egypt, and Jordan for their efforts in stabilizing the region.
The FSN also highlighted the recent visit of a Syrian presidential envoy to Rabat, describing it as a « historic breakthrough. » According to the organization, this visit reaffirms Morocco’s commitment to supporting a comprehensive political solution to the Syrian crisis and marks a key step toward Syria’s reintegration into the Arab community.
The statement stressed the need for Syria to adopt a clear position on the Sahara issue. « We call for official recognition of the Kingdom of Morocco’s full sovereignty over its Sahara and the opening of a Syrian consulate in Laayoune, » the FSN declared. Such a move, it argued, would be a « strong signal » of Syria’s return to the Arab world and its alignment with key regional capitals.
Finally, the National Salvation Front called for strengthened cooperation between Syria and countries promoting « modernization and openness » in the Arab world, highlighting the crucial role of the private sector and the Syrian diaspora in national reconstruction efforts.
