Few know about Morocco’s effort for peace. In 2006 Morocco proposed the Moroccan Initiative for Western Sahara, an initiative for autonomy for Western Sahara.

Although there are different opinions about this initiative, it has received backing from a number of countries. Morocco believes that this initiative will help stabilize the region and lead to a peaceful solution for all parties.

Why is Morocco working for this initiative? And how can this solution help to positively change the region?
