Rabat – the official meteorological agency of Spain, Aemet (state meteorology agency) published Weather maps that include the entire territory of Morocco, especially the country’s provinces in Western Sahara.
Although this is not the first time that a Spanish institution used the entire map in Morocco, the decision of Aemet stands out in view of its official status and visibility of its content on public platforms. The cards present the western Sahara as part of Morocco without separating.
This visual representation has been made in connection with developing Moroccan-Spanish relationships, especially since the confirmation of the Moroccian autonomy initiative in 2022 in Spain as the “most difficult, most realistic and most credible” solution for the dispute.
Morocco’s representation of his southern provinces on official platforms is a lawful step to work for his sovereignty and territorial representation. For Rabat, cards that reflect their complete geography are not only accurate, but also necessary, to remedy decades of distortions and fragmentation in international cartography.
In the meantime, the position of Morocco continues to achieve diplomatic traction. In recent years, more and more countries have approved the autonomy plan and recognized Morocco’s efforts to offer a practical and stable solution.
In contrast, concentrated exclude Or separate the region despite the effective government and development efforts in the Morocco region.
While Morocco continues to urge his sovereignty over its southern provinces, representations such as subtle, in the symbolic and diplomatic arena also bear.
