GENEVA: The UN envoy for Western Sahara said Thursday that a peaceful solution to the decades-long conflict in the region was possible, after the parties met for the first talks since 2012.

"A peaceful solution to this conflict is possible," UN envoy Horst Koehler, a former German president, told reporters in Geneva after Morocco and the Polisario Front, which fought a war over the region until a 1991 ceasefire, took part in two days of roundtable discussions along with Algeria and Mauritania.
