US and Moroccan officials have had talks in Western Sahara on plans to open an American consulate in the disputed territory.
The visit by the US envoy, David Schenker, follows President Trump's controversial decision last month to recognise Morocco's sovereignty over Western Sahara - where the indigenous Sahrawi people want a state of their own.
Mr Trump's move overturned America's longstanding, neutral position on the dispute, and was part of a deal in which Morocco agreed to re-establish relations with Israel.
Following a meeting with the Ethiopian government the European Union’s Foreign Policy chief has called for humanitarian access throughout the conflict-hit Tigray region.
Aid agencies have been allowed to visit some areas in recent weeks but not the entire region where the military has been fighting TPLF regional forces.

He said this was not a request to the Ethiopian government but was a requirement under international law.
The UN says it’s been denied access to two camps for Eritrean refugees.
Satellite images show that structures in the camps have been destroyed - including a World Food Programme building.
