Liberia has reiterated its support for Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara. The position was reaffirmed on Friday, July 4, in Rabat by Liberia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sara Beysolow Nyanti, during a press briefing following her meeting with Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita.
Nyanti expressed her country’s full support for Morocco’s autonomy initiative, describing it as «the only credible, serious, and realistic solution» to the regional dispute.
Liberia was among the first African countries to open a general consulate in the Sahara, an initiative formalized on March 12, 2020, in Dakhla during a ceremony co-chaired by Nasser Bourita and former Liberian Foreign Minister Gbehzohngar Findley.
This renewed expression of support carries added political weight as Liberia prepares to join the United Nations Security Council as a non-permanent member for the term beginning January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2027.
The Democratic Republic of Congo, which opened its consulate in Dakhla on December 19, 2020, will also join the Security Council at the start of next year.
