Morocco’s King Mohammed VI has played a vital role in the UN-led negotiations aimed at settling the Western Sahara issue, thus helping Morocco reap precious diplomatic points. The King’s policy-making efforts has given Morocco an upper hand in the protracted conflict over the territory by the increasing withdrawals of recognition of the Algerian-based SADR Republic, according to the Spanish paper, La Provincia.
Polisario, a Sahrawi rebel national liberation movement, aiming to put an end to Moroccan presence in the disputed region, has recently suffered a humiliating pull-back from the Polisario leadership led by a criminal named Brahim Ghali wanted by Spanish justice, emphasizing the urgent need of finding a political and mutually acceptable solution to the dispute over the Western Sahara territory.
The Western Sahara conflict is an ongoing conflict between Morocco and Polisario, which is a continuation of the past insurgency by Polisario against colonial Spain. Today the conflict mostly takes form of unarmed civil campaigns of the Polisario Front and their self-proclaimed SADR state to claim full recognition independence for Western Sahara.
