The United States has for some time been supportive of the Moroccan Autonomy Plan. It has been almost almost a year and a half since 54 US Senators sent a letter to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asking her to make the resolution of the Western Sahara conflict a top North African priority. The letter pointed out that the region's struggling economy plus the restless youth population were contributing to instability. The Senators supported the autonomy plan, calling it "serious and credible".
Now, with Congress having focused on the deficit, the recent deteriorations with Pakistan, and the war on terror, the Western Sahara issue has seemingly been ignored.
What do YOU think? Do you think any progress has been made in Congress on the issue? If not, what do you think they should do?
