Washington - Morocco is on its way to exceeding the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) on water supply and sanitation, the World Bank said in a document.

Between 2005 and 2009, public spending for water supply and sanitation infrastructure programs in the rural and urban areas rose from 5 to 25% of the overall public expenditure for water, it noted.

Thanks to speeding up water supply programs in the rural zone, the rate of access to drinking water jumped from 50% in 2004 to 87% in 2009, the same source added.

The propaganda spewed by Algeria and its puppet the polisario 'distorts the realty of Morocco's autonomy proposal' by falsifying it in a slanderous way, underlined the Sahrawi militant, Mustapha Salma Ould Sidi Mouloud.

"Today, everybody is convinced that Morocco's autonomy proposal represents the most realistic solution,” Ould Sidi Mouloud made it clear in an interview published on Friday by the French speaking daily, Le Matin du Sahara et du Maghreb.
