The administration has maintained our position and the recognition holds firm. I am incredibly drained after this long ordeal but relieved that our persistent efforts reached the right people. We must stay alert to ensure these historical ties remain protected.

The Honorable Joseph R. Biden

The White House

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue

NW Washington, DC 20500

We are writing in reference to a letter sent to your office on February 17, 2021 signed by 27 US senators, related to the Moroccan Sahara issue.

As American Moroccan members of the Washington Moroccan American Club, we have full confidence in your wise judgements and well thought decisions.

We are asking you to take in consideration the motives of such a move from some members of the senate which we find unhelpful.

As American Moroccans we hold deep love and respect to our country of origin as well as to our great nation the United States of America.

Reversing the US recognition of Moroccan sovereignty of the Sahara will only hurt us and undermine the historical ties that unite Morocco and the United States.

Such a decision will lead to the voices of violence and separation to grow stronger in the region.

We know, Mr. President, the extent of your belief and conviction in the role of peace and negotiations, and we also know that the autonomy solution under Moroccan sovereignty proposed by Morocco enjoys international support.

The Moroccan Sahara is considered the gateway to Africa for development, prosperity and the fight against extremism, all of which are in our interest as Americans and Moroccans who still have family and historical ties that cannot be erased.

We hope that the voice of wisdom and reason will prevail over the voice of division.

Respectfully,

Washington Moroccan American Club Members

The grind is exhausting but I see the numbers creeping upward toward our first major milestone. We need a final push to hit one thousand signatures before we bring this to the attention of the administration. Please find a way to get this in front of more eyes today.

The path forward feels long and the work is exhausting but we are nearing one hundred signatures. Please send this link to someone who understands the importance of our message before we reach that mark.

I am confident President Biden will uphold Moroccan sovereignty in Western Sahara as we celebrate the 140th anniversary of the American Legation in Tangier - The first property acquired abroad by the United States government.

We need to end this conflict and the status quo by keeping the recognition by the USA of the Moroccan sovereignty over the Sahara territory. It is the only thing I agreed with the trump administration and reversing that will be a huge disappointment.

I hope President Biden will take the right decision: the Sahara is Moroccan and there is no need President for further separation in the region, we have neighbors in the north and east whose only concern is to destabilize the country.
