Royal Advisory Council for Saharan Affairs
Advisory committee to the Moroccan government
The Royal Advisory Council for Saharan Affairs (Arabic: المجلس الملكي الاستشاري للشؤون الصحراوية; French: Conseil royal consultatif pour les affaires sahariennes; Spanish: Consejo Real Consultivo para los Asuntos del Sahara) is an advisory committee to the Moroccan government on Western Sahara. It was created under Mohammed VI in early 2006,[1] after a new autonomy plan proposed by Morocco to replace the United Nations' Baker Plan. The Polisario Front opposes Morocco's autonomy plan, demanding for a referendum and independence.
