The United States hailed on Sunday Morocco's announcement of a unilateral withdrawal from the Guergarat region in the Moroccan Sahara.

"We welcome the Moroccan decision of a unilateral withdrawal of its personnel from the buffer zone of the region of Guerguarat in support of the request of the UN Secretary General," said the U.S. embassy in Rabat in a press release.

The embassy also said that it took note of the statement issued on Saturday by the spokesman of the UN Secretary General concerning the situation in the Guerguarat region.
