Gabon Reiterates Commitment to Morocco's Territorial Integrity
On Tuesday, Gabon once again underscored its unwavering support for Morocco's claim over the Sahara region, expressing approval for the United Nations Security Council's adoption of Resolution 2797. This affirmation took place during a meeting in Rabat, where Gabon’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation responsible for Integration and the Diaspora, Marie-Edith Tassyla-Ye-Doumbeneny, engaged in discussions with Morocco's Foreign Minister, Nasser Bourita. In this significant dialogue, the Gabonese minister reiterated her nation’s steadfast endorsement of Morocco’s autonomy proposal, positioning it as the sole credible and realistic solution to the ongoing regional dispute.
The talks culminated in a joint communiqué that highlighted Gabon’s enthusiastic reception of the Security Council’s Resolution 2797, which was adopted on October 31, 2025. This crucial resolution recognizes the autonomy initiative as the only serious, credible, and sustainable foundation for reaching a political resolution, firmly situated within the framework of Moroccan sovereignty. This endorsement reflects a broader trend of growing international acknowledgment regarding Morocco's territorial integrity.
Moreover, Minister Tassyla-Ye-Doumbeneny pointed to the establishment of a Gabonese Consulate General in Laâyoune in January 2020 as a tangible demonstration of the robust and strategic partnership between Gabon and Morocco. This move not only signifies a deepening bilateral relationship but also highlights the increasing international recognition of Morocco's sovereignty over the disputed territory.
