Occupation regimes get along together On one hand an absolute monarchy and the on the other an apartheid ethnostate It’s really not so surprising considering Morocco’s past with Israel
@@personaldove western sahara is moroccan and gonna always remain moroccan iam saharawi moroccan from the city of dakhla long live our king the sahara was moroccan even before colonial spain came and it gonna remain moroccan
Exactly. But morocco have their police and troops in western Sahara's cities and breaking a lot of human rights with no response from the UN ... i guess the world is fine with it cuz there is no fire shooting
This reminded me of a game of Civilization IV I played once, Playing as America I was in the middle of setting up colonies in Africa and the Middle East (gotta get some of that Silk Road cash somehow) when I got involved in a War with the Arabians to help, well just about everyone else because they were doing some mad expansion and invading everybody. Namely the Persians, Egyptians and Ethiopians who were getting the worst of it. I did manage to basically curb stomp the Arabians (I was far more advanced than the nations I was helping, they didn't even have gunpowder units while my Navy SEALs and tanks were tearing up the desert left and right) and basically wiped them from existence, but I usually raised their cities and destroyed all surrounding improvements before moving on. However this was not the case for one coastal city, I decided for some reason to give that to Japan soon after it were conquered. Possibly as a gift for their cooperation in the War with China some time earlier, where they got Manchuria, Korea and parts of Mongolia that were Conquered by the Chinese.
Update : Now only 32 countries recognizes western sahara Update : The USA recognized the moroccan sovereignty Update : 67 Countries support moroccan claims

I’m of half North African descent as I have an Algerian mother. My mothers maternal grandfather was an ethnic Sahraoui, however his family have been in Algeria within recent generations. When asked about his origin he said where from “Western Sahara in Morocco”. Those who wanna call themselves Western Saharan are Western Saharan. Those who call themselves Moroccan are Moroccan. I personally say my family are mixed Algerian and Sahraoui but Moroccan Sahraoui as the term just means one from the desert. There are sahraoui’s from Algeria, Morocco, Libya, Egypt. So on a national level my mothers maternal side of the family are Moroccan sahraouis when being specific as sahraouis also exist in Algeria. And culturally Western Sahara and Morocco are linked. Both were taken over by Beni Hassan maqil tribes from Yemen and both trace descent to Sanhaja berbers. But personally I couldn’t care less if there western Saharan, Moroccan, Algerian, Tunisian. I’m sure France and Spain are having a nice time watching us fight each other. I also don’t see a point in an area that numbers just over 500,000 operating as a country. Don’t know if it’s strong enough to even operate. We don’t need another failed Arab state. I may be wrong. My Algerian family say they have Moroccan blood. Not western Saharan. But then again identify as you wish. I don’t know why the Algerian government got involved. The Algerian and Moroccan people love each other. I see it in my own bloodline. Stop all these negative and nationalistic comments. It’s actually becoming boring.
@Sisi Nono When I asked my grandmother and relatives they said our origin is in Sakia El Hamra. I looked into it and the area technically makes up one of the 12 regions of Morocco. I am looking to take a trip there soon Inchallah as knowing about your heritage is important. The region seems rich in history and culture.

+Mister Okami And have you seen how many people stating that Morocco has no right for its history claim and should listen to 50k polisario born in northern Morocco for their founders that are, Algerians, Spanish, government related? Yes, a lot of accounts are fake. Most importantly, how many have checked the fact before speaking up? So I can state with accuracy that all of them are whether biased or complete idiots. Choose your side!
+I'm just sayin' tho "So does my country, France, China, Russia, India etc". You just saw that no country in the entire world supports Morocco's claim over Western Sahara, right? The only thing the USA, France, Russia, etc. support is an independent Western Saharan state under administration from Morocco temporarily as per the Baker Plan.
+Dimitri Nossar Nobody gives a damn about the baker plan. The baker plan hasn't been approved. Another idiots whom doesn't checks the facts but doesn't hesitate to open their mouth without knowing. Do your homework regarding the issue as well, and you will understand that you are wrong. But sure you already know that.
+emere574 lol, someone's a regular old Scipio Africanus over here... 'cause you're so salty. And where did I say the Baker plan would work? I just said that that's what the general international community endorses, not Moroccan control over the region.
So why the marocans don’t get involved when the Sahrawi fight Spain at list they could fight with the sahrawi and then when sahrawi get independence marocans betrayed the sahrawi .
@@mustanghandl what you call the Sahraoui fighters, those were the Moroccan Army of liberation. They were Moroccans who were against the Moroccan regime at that time. They fled Morocco to settle in the Sahara. Mustafa EL wali "The founder of the Polisario" was a student at Mohammed V university in Rabat, Mohammed weld Abdulaziz "the president of the so called Sahraoui republic for 35 years" is from Marrakech and his dad still lives there if he hasn't passed already. Morocco didn't have the military capacity to wage a war against Spain to recoup its land by force. These Moroccan rebels thought they could make their own country and get back at the Moroccan regime. Algeria took these guys under their wings, armed them and figured it could get back at Morocco and when the land is taken, Algeria will have a window on the Atlantic Ocean. And on the map would look like its creator France. But as the saying says" He who plants the winds, collects the hurricanes"
@@mustanghandl ow probably because we were by fucking two countries at that time and we had a very weak military and every part of Morocco was freed by the ppl who live in that specific place you can check the wars that have been there but guess what the only part that wasn't freed by it's people is sahara
Probably those charges were made by morrocans, if so, I wonder the legitimacy of those charges. But interesting fact you brought, it should really be mentioned in the video.
And even if the leader is really someone who should be in jail, it doesn't mean that those people shouldn't be heard and given the right to chose their nationality.
And here it comes. You are an idiot. I have shown many times that there is ELECTIONS IN MOROCCO. Who ware the people in the south voting for? NATIONALIST PARTY! For who the polisario vote? Nobody because they don't elect anyone. Check the facts, and stop being a joke. Even though you are new, we have answered many idiots with facts. Check them and please stop insulting us! Saying that you are an idiot is a statement because you made idiotic comments! And your statement about a criminal being elected says a lot about your stupidity, not to mention suggesting that criminal could be elected... In which democracy is it possible by the way? Rhetorical question....
There are no elections in Polisario front lol, that's what you think. The Algerian's intelligence decides everything. These guys are brainwashed. Get your facts straight. Morocco is great :) and will only become greater. If you want proper elections, release your people from the jails you're putting them in and put aside the rifles you're pointing at their families and let's see what they decide.

I'm from Sahara layoon, So For Now, 10 country's open them consulates in Moroccan Sahara and Algeria lose them wealths for the polisario, Because Algeria wants to reach the Moroccan Atlantic Ocean and Sahara part, but it cannot because the Moroccan diplomacy is strong. The only solution is the autonomy of the Sahara with Moroccan control The flag, the slogan, and the autonomy proposed by Morocco have received significant support from America and Europe. Morocco is strong with his history on his Sahara, diplomacy and the Moroccan Sahara culture. The people of the Sahara 80% of them are on Moroccan soil and love their Moroccan kingdom.
@私の名前は関係ありません algeria should lead by example and give the kabylie people the right to self determination and independence. And let the touaregs unite with their brothers and sisters in azawad( north mali). Give the mzabis autonomy, because they refuse to integrate.
For me personally, I prefer Western Sahara as part of the Kingdom of Morocco. However, the most important thing is the will of the people who live in there. Therefore, in my opinion, a peaceful, free and fair referendum is the best answer to settle the disputes.

After watching about 2 hours of videos on geography I'm still equally intrigued.People think I'm smug when I say I don't really watch TV anymore but its not because I don't like the visual medium, its just not as personalized like youtube. Keep up the awesome videos!

+William Gaule Just to remind that after the independence of Western Sahara. King 5 of Morocco proposed to the Algerian and Mauritanian president to share them Western Sahara. so Mauritanian president accepted that but the President Algerian Houari Boumedien not 1/ because he was faithful to his principles "that colonization is wrong and that all people are the right to freedom " 2/ Algeria known to colonialism and suffering for 130 years by France and 3/ Because Algeria it was supporting the liberation movements in all over the world since independence . and then Algeria has ask this two countries to leave alone the Western Sahara so Mauritania accpeted but marocco not . then France, England, US and Spain by interest and by strategy supported Morocco for his occupation until today and his turn the Algeria continues to support the Saharawi for recuperate their independence with the help of UN and The international community . which lead to hatred Moroccan and his government towards Algeria and his relentlessness against Algeria at all time . so read the history of Algeria and you'll understand .the proof. Morocco is not part of the African Union " the truth will never be the friend of the colonizer " Free Western Sahara.
Ali khissilus Thanks for the info. Colonial history is hard but worthwhile reading. I mean that it's hard to imagine the human cost and the effect it's still having. It's definitely something everyone should make an effort to learn about. I include myself in that group that needs to learn more so thanks again. Just to clarify. I'm not American as has been suggested. I'm from Ireland, which you might know has it's own turbulent history with a colonial aggressor.
I love your videos! And keep sprinkling in the thought bubble humor :-) I have to admit, I have this compulsion to want to improve things. When competing with the entire internet short, concise, and memorable information tends to win. The Minute Physics and Minute Earth channels are good examples. I feel like these videos get bogged down in too much detail, much of which I won't remember. Videos that are concise obviously skip over a lot of the detail, but they help me better process and remember what I am told. It also caters to the impatient world youtube and technology has fostered. If these videos were more concise, I'd remember and watch more of them. When I do have the patience, I do enjoy watching them. You clearly put a lot of time and effort into the research and I really do appreciate the knowledge and information you present. And I love your accent! (a bit of an inappropriate quote, but ... as Chris Hardwick put it: Tim Minchin on the Green Room Part 2 )
What you didn’t mention is that this is ALL about those phosphate reserves. Too much money at stake. Morocco will never give that up. Bou Craa is a goldmine...
@@warmtide4582 the is only one mine in the disputed part of Morocco and that is boucra other than thatn all minse all located near khouribga in morocco northen territories
This is one of my favorite videos that you've done. I would love to see you cover more conflicts involving disputed nations, i.e. Somaliland, North Cyprus, the various unrecognized nations within the former USSR, etc. I hope you'll consider it. Keep up the good work! :)
Javier Badem, of No Country for Old Men fame, led a campaign in Spain to raise awareness of what was going on in Western Sahara. He was interviewed on Channel 4 News, raising additional awareness of the dispute to the UK
@@mounirzebiri6983 wtf u have to respect my opinion and algeria is not dyal babak to decide how much im algerian everything that the'' clan de oujda '' ever did i dont agree with including the saharaoui Moroccan conflict
Thank you for your videos. You make the seemingly mundane topics incredibly interesting. Also, I love your visuals/animations and your lovely Scots accent.
It would cool of you to do a video on the full extent of the Axis Powers. Its interesting and kind of scary how much territory they gained and how they sort of planned to conquer the world. Also, don't worry about adding a few more opinions, though few enough that the videos can stand up in class rooms. Love the videos, so keep them coming.
Crazy how the allied terrorist states had colonies throughout the entire world, but the countries that liberatwd those colonies "want to conquer the world", lol. Allied devils ended controlling the entire world after the war
It was Moroccan before Spanish rule, after Spanish rule and currently Moroccan. I don't think a tiny group who want there own government can claim it, at least not all of it.
@@wrednax8594 what gaz . There's nothing profitable other than the phosphate mines on that piece of land no oil or garlz and that phosphate only gives a max of 10 million dollars a year as a profit and morocco claims the sahara as part of it cuz of historical resons plus its the only way to retain peace from extremists comming from countries of middle africa not only that but to also provide safety to trade routes heading to europe trough the giblartar strait comming from south west africa so explain to me how in the world would a bunch of separists with a bunch of rusty ak s and old toyota cars from the 60 whom claim the land to be their's would provide that ? Trust me if they re given the chance this area would be the next isis state and it would be much worse for europe then cuz its hella close to it then iraq
The Moroccan Sahara is a disputed territory located in the Western Sahara region of North Africa. It has been the subject of a long-standing conflict between Morocco and the Polisario Front, which seeks independence for the territory. Morocco claims sovereignty over the region and has established a government presence there, while the Polisario Front maintains control over some parts of the territory. The conflict has been ongoing since the 1970s and has involved military clashes, political negotiations, and international mediation efforts. Currently, the United Nations maintains a peacekeeping mission in the region known as MINURSO, which is tasked with monitoring a ceasefire that was agreed to in 1991. There have been some recent diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict, but it remains unresolved.
If you have the old flags of some countries (it make sense because we're talking about 1884) you should have the royal portuguese flag (white and blue) instead of the actual one, which was only adopter in 1910 with the fall of the Monarchy in Portugal and the beginning of the Republic.
am Moroccan and i say its Moroccan Sahara we invest Alot of money building the cities and everything for years and Algeria was behind the conflict supporting terrorist with latest weapons to attack morocco they don't even have exist until Algeria started this to prevent morocco from asking for stolen land that was taken by France and this still a question mark
My Dad and his entire side of the family is from Morocco and they always are mad at maps that separate western sahara from morocco, but I never knew why. I am so glad I found this video.
By recognizing Morocco's proprietary right to Western Sahara, President Trump has shown great leadership and remarkable insight into the region's political history. Historians as well as anthropologists know only too well that the ethnic minority from whom the Polisario separatist group descends, namely Banu Hassan, did not set foot in Western Sahara until 15th century, long after so many other Berber and Arab nomadic tribes had marked their presence in the region. This explains why the Polisario are both ethnically and linguistically different from native Berbers, and why they have more in common with the Yamanis of the Arabian Peninsula than any other North African native tribe. The Polisario should be grateful to Morocco for offering them a home and allowing them equal access to the region's natural resources, and perhaps more grateful now than ever to be offered partial autonomy. Encouraging them to claim independence is synonymous to inveigling North African communities of France to fight for an independent state of their own in the heart of Europe, which no European of sound mind would ever tolerate. From a legal perspective, the Polisario’s claim to Western Sahara, a land which formed part of Morocco prior to its occupation by Spain, is void ab initio under Public International Law, for it is based on fraudulent misrepresentation. President Trump knows that there has never existed a contract of allegiance between the Kings of Morocco and the Polisario. Any ties of such allegiance as referred to by the International Court of Justice were between successive Moroccan monarchs and the region’s tribal leaders of of whom the Polisario constituted no part. These facts on their own render the Polisario a rogue Front and any claim to Western Sahara void ab initio. Equally importantly, Mr Tump, having access to sound legal advice, knows that since title to Western Sahara has already transferred back to Morocco under the treaty of Madrid, the Polisario has no case and no claim either. Had title not transferred back to Morocco, the Polisario might have been able to seek a judicial remedy to their self-inflicted misfortunes, notwithstanding the fact that international law lacks the ability to bind states. Whatever any Algeria-paid, attention-seeking opportunists say or do will not change facts on the ground, nor give Algeria access to the Atlantic ocean on the back of the Polisario Front. All they can deliver is a mere dance to tunes dearest to Algeria’s heart, which they do well so long as they get paid. The sum of their performance, to put it another way, is nothing more than virtual obiter dicta.
Yeah what ever, eventually history whill destroy Moroccan ambitions and will return that land to the saharaui people, and not just to some moroccan ilegal settlers
@@Miguel-jr3gb History has returned the land to its rightful owners and left you behind cheering criminal thugs like the Polisario, you little fake Spaniard lol
Whether Western Sahara wants to stay with Morocco or not, I don't care. But the people must have the right to self-determination. Self-determination is, for me, one of the most important rights a nation can have. I've seen in my own country how this lack of self-determination leads to war and conflict, and I don't want it happening in Western Sahara I have no problem with Morocco, in fact, I kind of like it in general. But they must give Western Sahara the right to self-determination, or else they're no better than the French and the Spanish during the years of occupation The Moroccans who supported the war of independence of Muslim Mindanao (Bangsamoro) in the Philippines, are probably the same who believe that Western Sahara belongs to them, even if they aren't from there. The Bangsamoro is now autonomous, and they voted for it to be so, but my country never gave them the choice of independence. Luckily, most people of the Bangsamoro seem satisfied with the current agreement of autonomy, but it may not be so for the Sahrawi
maybe to achieve a secret project in the sahara, that would lead to the return of the E.T helping the enemy of the enemy, so why algeria is enemy with morocco ? wiki and google are your dads
Yes funny ! Last news: Algeria refused "to allow a census of population held captive in the camps of Tindouf encourages mass and organized embezzlement of international humanitarian aid, Euro-deputy Gilles Pargneaux said on Friday." that maybe a sub-reason
I'm Moroccan living in dakhla city in the south of Morocco, and I just knew about dispute of western Sahara recently, I'm interested to know more about it because here we live normally like every other place in Morocco, the Saharawis who want the independence of western Sahara are very rare, bcs the separatists actually exist in South of Algeria, we can't accept to be separated from Morocco, we are safe and we have everything we need as a Moroccan ppl, why would we want independence??
Because that isnt part of morocco, Morocco literally ocuppied that land and sent settlers there, "why would we want independence??" what kind of stupid question is that? The people who wants independece is the ones who was living there before the Moroccan dictatorship kill or expulse them, not the boy of some settlers. the ONU say that Morroco should let the people who live there before Morocco invade vote for independece, ofcourse moroco didnt let that happen. The fact that you dont know about that problem is a prove of how disconect is the moroccan population if what your goofy ahh king is doing.
I am saharawi AND I'm not moroccan AND I'm not separatist. You live in Western sahara bcs moraco has colonised western sahara . the majority of sahrawis live in the campaments and the other part of sahrawis live in Western Sahara but they can't say anithing ,if they say ,they will be killed by the moroccan authority. you have to learn more about the history of Western Sahara.
@@Hussain20800I’m curious man, you might be partially right. Can you point me to any resources as to the « Sahraoui » history, whether it existed before the 19th century, who ruled over it, how they started talking Arabic etc.. ? Because the Amazigh/Berbers were here even before arabs and they don’t seem to have this much hate against morocco, they live peacefully as everyone else and they’re equally moroccans. So please tell me more about the hatred and false history you learned from that greedy neighbor Algeria trying to make its way to the atlantic and encircle Morocco? Cheers.
@@Hussain20800What’s keeping these people from becoming moroccans and living in the obviously best place to live in north africa? Is their cause so significant that they’re ready to stick to their beliefs and risk spending the rest of their lives in the desert? What is it that they’re going to get if it works well for them exactly? Split that half between them familles and sell it over to Algeria? Get that money and move elsewhere ? Please help me understand. That area best future is in the hands of Morocco I’m telling you, and same goes for its population.
Most of the africain countries who recognize the ws were acctually brided by known countries to be ennemies of morocco plus most of the africain leaders are more corrupt then you would think and they don t represent their people the way they should cuz i don't know why would they support a claim with no historical nore birth right of the area brings a lot of suspetions and cuz most of those separists were not acctually born the the moroccan desert but the algerian one as the video states
The rights of a land are property of those who live there. Even if it used to be a part of a country, if the people who live there prefer independence, it should be granted to them. Not because of "muh country's honor" or "muh country's glorious past".
It's funny how all that Europeans have to do is draw a line in the sand and the people living there automatically adopt that "national identity". Even journalist Robert Fisk made the observation of how ironic it is that all those "colonized" peoples eagerly adopted the colonizer's borders. What exactly is "Western Saharan national identity" except that which Spain gave them? In fact, why are Western Sahara, Morocco, and Algeria even separate countries at all? Seems silly to complain about European colonialism when you eagerly adopt that same colonialism's legacy.
I am Moroccan and there are some points about the conflict that i did not know. Thanks for thegood work you have put in the video. I think thought that you did miss out the last proposal from Morocco through the UN for a self governing western sahara under Moroccan Soverenity.
As a member of the un .. the polizario front which is the only and legit represntive of the sahrawi people under the un boards refused it and both morocoo and rasd refused the third option the divide western sahara between them . And i personally think that there should be a referendum which have the option where you choose either independence or self governance
source? oh I know cuz I studied history in Morocco, but once you start looking into it more and more you discover that before colonization there were no borders, just trade routes that included the sahara, and also a big part of Mauritania, but once colonization has came the deal was Morocco would be under "protection" from France, while Spain quickly took the Sahara as a very empty territory, as they were roots some villages next to the beaches, though no one was claiming them, unless you count the Arabs who came from Yemen or something and settled between morocco and algeria now, which neither had dibs on cuz the sahara was most of it uninhabited and not claimed as a territory
@@PRIMO19 but once spain got out it was claimed buy morocco. and when morocco made it free these guys wanted it for free. man look at those moroccans who live in layoune and dakhla.
@@nossoss2612 well of course lmao just like claiming the Canary Islands is yours in 1980, or like melilla now, what are you gonna say I had dibs on them, before they got invaded, so no what I was saying is that morocco never claimed sahara as its own before the colonization, that's the reason why it was colonized by spain, while Morocco had France, so yeah when Spain got out of course we tried claiming it, bringing some map from an extinct dynasty, and at the same time Mauritania has claimed Sahara as their own too so yeah it wasn't as simple as you and your alternate history make it
@@PRIMO19 ik that in school they buffed us, but sahara is moroccans now. and as they say stronger eat weak. personally i don't want sahara. goverment take care much about locals in layooune and dakhla than us. the cause is taking so much money that we need here in north. but they are investing on it for future advantage. so am not too sad about it. am only sad for those who are in tenduff, the live misreable life while polesario don't let them escape towards cities. they know morocco will never give up on it. but also they are willing to die for it which i don't think a desert deserve it. sahara will never grow even if it is not under morocco. cuz in the end it will be ruled by another arabs.
I’m from Western Sahara my whole family indentifies as Moroccans, the only reason the king can’t do much for us is because we’re in the middle of the desert so we move to urban cities and get free housing,only 30,000 western Saharas want to separate and be Polisario search it up and if they don’t want to be part f our county they can leave😂
kasufert 13 isn't THAT bad, but you're right. He could do commonwealth realms. Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Britain, Jamaica, South Africa, etc. Also, fun fact. I believe in the 90s, Jamaica offered to become a Canadian province. I think it was the 90s, I'm not sure.
@@ganxe we'll discuss that , after you free both the sahari people and the rif people too, and let's not forget recognizing Ceuta and Melilla as a Spanish territories (which they're).
In early 1975, both Morocco and Mauritania agreed to abide by the decision of the International Court of Justice on the status of the Spanish Sahara, but when the court ruled[5] in October 1975 that neither country was entitled to claim sovereignty over the territory, both governments chose to ignore the decision. In November 1975, they concluded the Madrid Agreements with Spain under which Morocco acquired the northern two-thirds of the territory, while Mauritania acquired the southern third. The agreement also included the proviso that Spain would retain shares in the Bu Craa mining enterprise. Mauritania acquiesced to the agreements under the assumption

The best solution to put an end to this problem would be that Morocco accepts the referendum to decide between them under the supervision of the United nations . It's the only way.
You know western sahara is just a territory claimed by a terrorist group that violates human rights. It’s better for morocco to control that area and get rid of the polisario

@Harrison Luty what are you talking about ? There is elections everywhere in morocco including the south of morocco. And the people living in the south of morocco have people representing them from their community. You do realise that this conflict is a result of the cold war ? Communiste countries supported the separatiste movement in the south of morocco for ideological reasons. How would you feel, if i told you, without ever visiting your country or having any idea about the issues in it, that a separatiste mouvement in your country should have independance ? Let me know where are you from. Probably south africa but i don t know... and also let me know what do you think about the other separatist mouvements in the word including the ones in your own country ?
This video answered one of the big questions I have in life. Thanks a lot. What I wonder is what resources made this place special, because to be wanted for 3 other countries and a big territory that is saying a lot. Btw my country recognizes the Sahrawi Arab Republic because when there was a change of president, Their leader was an honorary guest. Too bad for the people which do not make the million but what can you expect if you do not follow the rules completely and many circunstances make a bigger discussion. Thanks and you should do one based on Somalia or Africa as a whole. Because is a place where it is really hard to understand. Good luck in your flight :D

This reminded me of a game of Civilization IV I played once, Playing as America I was in the middle of setting up colonies in Africa and the Middle East (gotta get some of that Silk Road cash somehow) when I got involved in a War with the Arabians to help, well just about everyone else because they were doing some mad expansion and invading everybody. Namely the Persians, Egyptians and Ethiopians who were getting the worst of it.
I did manage to basically curb stomp the Arabians (I was far more advanced than the nations I was helping, they didn't even have gunpowder units while my Navy SEALs and tanks were tearing up the desert left and right) and basically wiped them from existence, but I usually raised their cities and destroyed all surrounding improvements before moving on.
However this was not the case for one coastal city, I decided for some reason to give that to Japan soon after it were conquered. Possibly as a gift for their cooperation in the War with China some time earlier, where they got Manchuria, Korea and parts of Mongolia that were Conquered by the Chinese.

I appreciate the information. Good reporting.
I’m of half North African descent as I have an Algerian mother. My mothers maternal grandfather was an ethnic Sahraoui, however his family have been in Algeria within recent generations. When asked about his origin he said where from “Western Sahara in Morocco”. Those who wanna call themselves Western Saharan are Western Saharan. Those who call themselves Moroccan are Moroccan. I personally say my family are mixed Algerian and Sahraoui but Moroccan Sahraoui as the term just means one from the desert. There are sahraoui’s from Algeria, Morocco, Libya, Egypt. So on a national level my mothers maternal side of the family are Moroccan sahraouis when being specific as sahraouis also exist in Algeria. And culturally Western Sahara and Morocco are linked. Both were taken over by Beni Hassan maqil tribes from Yemen and both trace descent to Sanhaja berbers. But personally I couldn’t care less if there western Saharan, Moroccan, Algerian, Tunisian. I’m sure France and Spain are having a nice time watching us fight each other. I also don’t see a point in an area that numbers just over 500,000 operating as a country. Don’t know if it’s strong enough to even operate. We don’t need another failed Arab state. I may be wrong. My Algerian family say they have Moroccan blood. Not western Saharan. But then again identify as you wish. I don’t know why the Algerian government got involved. The Algerian and Moroccan people love each other. I see it in my own bloodline. Stop all these negative and nationalistic comments. It’s actually becoming boring.
Interesting perspective

@@mustanghandl what you call the Sahraoui fighters, those were the Moroccan Army of liberation. They were Moroccans who were against the Moroccan regime at that time. They fled Morocco to settle in the Sahara. Mustafa EL wali "The founder of the Polisario" was a student at Mohammed V university in Rabat, Mohammed weld Abdulaziz "the president of the so called Sahraoui republic for 35 years" is from Marrakech and his dad still lives there if he hasn't passed already. Morocco didn't have the military capacity to wage a war against Spain to recoup its land by force. These Moroccan rebels thought they could make their own country and get back at the Moroccan regime. Algeria took these guys under their wings, armed them and figured it could get back at Morocco and when the land is taken, Algeria will have a window on the Atlantic Ocean. And on the map would look like its creator France. But as the saying says" He who plants the winds, collects the hurricanes"

Probably those charges were made by morrocans, if so, I wonder the legitimacy of those charges. But interesting fact you brought, it should really be mentioned in the video.
And even if the leader is really someone who should be in jail, it doesn't mean that those people shouldn't be heard and given the right to chose their nationality.

Morocco is strong with his history on his Sahara, diplomacy and the Moroccan Sahara culture. The people of the Sahara 80% of them are on Moroccan soil and love their Moroccan kingdom.

King 5 of Morocco proposed to the Algerian and Mauritanian president to share them Western Sahara. so Mauritanian president accepted that but the President Algerian Houari Boumedien not 1/ because he was faithful to his principles "that colonization is wrong and that all people are the right to freedom " 2/ Algeria known to colonialism and suffering for 130 years by France and 3/ Because Algeria it was supporting the liberation movements in all over the world since independence . and then Algeria has ask this two countries to leave alone the Western Sahara so Mauritania accpeted but marocco not . then France, England, US and Spain by interest and by strategy supported Morocco for his occupation until today and his turn the Algeria continues to support the Saharawi for recuperate their independence with the help of UN and The international community . which lead to hatred Moroccan and his government towards Algeria and his relentlessness against Algeria at all time . so read the history of Algeria and you'll understand .the proof. Morocco is not part of the African Union " the truth will never be the friend of the colonizer " Free Western Sahara.

I have to admit, I have this compulsion to want to improve things. When competing with the entire internet short, concise, and memorable information tends to win.

Videos that are concise obviously skip over a lot of the detail, but they help me better process and remember what I am told. It also caters to the impatient world youtube and technology has fostered. If these videos were more concise, I'd remember and watch more of them.

The Moroccan Sahara is a disputed territory located in the Western Sahara region of North Africa. It has been the subject of a long-standing conflict between Morocco and the Polisario Front, which seeks independence for the territory.
Morocco claims sovereignty over the region and has established a government presence there, while the Polisario Front maintains control over some parts of the territory. The conflict has been ongoing since the 1970s and has involved military clashes, political negotiations, and international mediation efforts. Currently, the United Nations maintains a peacekeeping mission in the region known as MINURSO, which is tasked with monitoring a ceasefire that was agreed to in 1991. There have been some recent diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict, but it remains unresolved.
Guys guys guys, I know how to solve this... just give it to me. The free kingdom of Western Sahara.
Do winners & losers: Europe
If you have the old flags of some countries (it make sense because we're talking about 1884) you should have the royal portuguese flag (white and blue) instead of the actual one, which was only adopter in 1910 with the fall of the Monarchy in Portugal and the beginning of the Republic.

By recognizing Morocco's proprietary right to Western Sahara, President Trump has shown great leadership and remarkable insight into the region's political history. Historians as well as anthropologists know only too well that the ethnic minority from whom the Polisario separatist group descends, namely Banu Hassan, did not set foot in Western Sahara until 15th century, long after so many other Berber and Arab nomadic tribes had marked their presence in the region. This explains why the Polisario are both ethnically and linguistically different from native Berbers, and why they have more in common with the Yamanis of the Arabian Peninsula than any other North African native tribe.
The Polisario should be grateful to Morocco for offering them a home and allowing them equal access to the region's natural resources, and perhaps more grateful now than ever to be offered partial autonomy. Encouraging them to claim independence is synonymous to inveigling North African communities of France to fight for an independent state of their own in the heart of Europe, which no European of sound mind would ever tolerate.
From a legal perspective, the Polisario’s claim to Western Sahara, a land which formed part of Morocco prior to its occupation by Spain, is void ab initio under Public International Law, for it is based on fraudulent misrepresentation. President Trump knows that there has never existed a contract of allegiance between the Kings of Morocco and the Polisario. Any ties of such allegiance as referred to by the International Court of Justice were between successive Moroccan monarchs and the region’s tribal leaders of of whom the Polisario constituted no part. These facts on their own render the Polisario a rogue Front and any claim to Western Sahara void ab initio.
Equally importantly, Mr Tump, having access to sound legal advice, knows that since title to Western Sahara has already transferred back to Morocco under the treaty of Madrid, the Polisario has no case and no claim either. Had title not transferred back to Morocco, the Polisario might have been able to seek a judicial remedy to their self-inflicted misfortunes, notwithstanding the fact that international law lacks the ability to bind states.
Whatever any Algeria-paid, attention-seeking opportunists say or do will not change facts on the ground, nor give Algeria access to the Atlantic ocean on the back of the Polisario Front. All they can deliver is a mere dance to tunes dearest to Algeria’s heart, which they do well so long as they get paid. The sum of their performance, to put it another way, is nothing more than virtual obiter dicta.

Whether Western Sahara wants to stay with Morocco or not, I don't care. But the people must have the right to self-determination.
Self-determination is, for me, one of the most important rights a nation can have. I've seen in my own country how this lack of self-determination leads to war and conflict, and I don't want it happening in Western Sahara
I have no problem with Morocco, in fact, I kind of like it in general. But they must give Western Sahara the right to self-determination, or else they're no better than the French and the Spanish during the years of occupation
The Moroccans who supported the war of independence of Muslim Mindanao (Bangsamoro) in the Philippines, are probably the same who believe that Western Sahara belongs to them, even if they aren't from there. The Bangsamoro is now autonomous, and they voted for it to be so, but my country never gave them the choice of independence. Luckily, most people of the Bangsamoro seem satisfied with the current agreement of autonomy, but it may not be so for the Sahrawi
Morocco 4 economy in africa if we dont stay with it we gonna be like mauritania
I agree.
I agree. They should at least be given the option to be free or not
As a Sahrawi, I agree with you on this. The destiny report is all we want.
@@lusernay take up Arabs and all sahrawis should fight against Morocco occupation
Could you do a similar video on Somalia? This was very well done.
Why Algeria supports so bad the Polisario Front?

Yes funny ! Last news: Algeria refused "to allow a census of population held captive in the camps of Tindouf encourages mass and organized embezzlement of international humanitarian aid, Euro-deputy Gilles Pargneaux said on Friday." that maybe a sub-reason
Rarity Sparkle Yup.
I'm Moroccan living in dakhla city in the south of Morocco, and I just knew about dispute of western Sahara recently, I'm interested to know more about it because here we live normally like every other place in Morocco, the Saharawis who want the independence of western Sahara are very rare, bcs the separatists actually exist in South of Algeria, we can't accept to be separated from Morocco, we are safe and we have everything we need as a Moroccan ppl, why would we want independence??
Because that isnt part of morocco, Morocco literally ocuppied that land and sent settlers there, "why would we want independence??" what kind of stupid question is that? The people who wants independece is the ones who was living there before the Moroccan dictatorship kill or expulse them, not the boy of some settlers. the ONU say that Morroco should let the people who live there before Morocco invade vote for independece, ofcourse moroco didnt let that happen. The fact that you dont know about that problem is a prove of how disconect is the moroccan population if what your goofy ahh king is doing.
I am saharawi AND I'm not moroccan AND I'm not separatist.
You live in Western sahara bcs moraco has colonised western sahara .
the majority of sahrawis live in the campaments and the other part of sahrawis live in Western Sahara but they can't say anithing ,if they say ,they will be killed by the moroccan authority.
you have to learn more about the history of Western Sahara.
@@Hussain20800I’m curious man, you might be partially right. Can you point me to any resources as to the « Sahraoui » history, whether it existed before the 19th century, who ruled over it, how they started talking Arabic etc.. ? Because the Amazigh/Berbers were here even before arabs and they don’t seem to have this much hate against morocco, they live peacefully as everyone else and they’re equally moroccans. So please tell me more about the hatred and false history you learned from that greedy neighbor Algeria trying to make its way to the atlantic and encircle Morocco? Cheers.
@@Hussain20800What’s keeping these people from becoming moroccans and living in the obviously best place to live in north africa? Is their cause so significant that they’re ready to stick to their beliefs and risk spending the rest of their lives in the desert? What is it that they’re going to get if it works well for them exactly? Split that half between them familles and sell it over to Algeria? Get that money and move elsewhere ? Please help me understand. That area best future is in the hands of Morocco I’m telling you, and same goes for its population.

The rights of a land are property of those who live there. Even if it used to be a part of a country, if the people who live there prefer independence, it should be granted to them. Not because of "muh country's honor" or "muh country's glorious past".
well people there never asked for independence and they are living peacefully as any other Moroccan!
I just love it how he says Morocco
FREEDOM FOR WESTERN SAHARA 🇪🇭
Free weather sahara 🇪🇭
It's funny how all that Europeans have to do is draw a line in the sand and the people living there automatically adopt that "national identity".
Even journalist Robert Fisk made the observation of how ironic it is that all those "colonized" peoples eagerly adopted the colonizer's borders.
What exactly is "Western Saharan national identity" except that which Spain gave them?
In fact, why are Western Sahara, Morocco, and Algeria even separate countries at all?
Seems silly to complain about European colonialism when you eagerly adopt that same colonialism's legacy.
I am Moroccan and there are some points about the conflict that i did not know. Thanks for thegood work you have put in the video. I think thought that you did miss out the last proposal from Morocco through the UN for a self governing western sahara under Moroccan Soverenity.
As a member of the un .. the polizario front which is the only and legit represntive of the sahrawi people under the un boards refused it and both morocoo and rasd refused the third option the divide western sahara between them . And i personally think that there should be a referendum which have the option where you choose either independence or self governance
Morocco brought death to the real inhabitants of western sahara. Gruesome
You must have mentioned well that it was Moroccan Sahara before colonized. morocco just took what's his.
source? oh I know cuz I studied history in Morocco, but once you start looking into it more and more you discover that before colonization there were no borders, just trade routes that included the sahara, and also a big part of Mauritania, but once colonization has came the deal was Morocco would be under "protection" from France, while Spain quickly took the Sahara as a very empty territory, as they were roots some villages next to the beaches, though no one was claiming them, unless you count the Arabs who came from Yemen or something and settled between morocco and algeria now, which neither had dibs on cuz the sahara was most of it uninhabited and not claimed as a territory
@@PRIMO19 but once spain got out it was claimed buy morocco. and when morocco made it free these guys wanted it for free. man look at those moroccans who live in layoune and dakhla.
@@nossoss2612 well of course lmao just like claiming the Canary Islands is yours in 1980, or like melilla now, what are you gonna say I had dibs on them, before they got invaded, so no what I was saying is that morocco never claimed sahara as its own before the colonization, that's the reason why it was colonized by spain, while Morocco had France, so yeah when Spain got out of course we tried claiming it, bringing some map from an extinct dynasty, and at the same time Mauritania has claimed Sahara as their own too so yeah it wasn't as simple as you and your alternate history make it
@@PRIMO19 ik that in school they buffed us, but sahara is moroccans now. and as they say stronger eat weak. personally i don't want sahara. goverment take care much about locals in layooune and dakhla than us. the cause is taking so much money that we need here in north. but they are investing on it for future advantage. so am not too sad about it. am only sad for those who are in tenduff, the live misreable life while polesario don't let them escape towards cities.
they know morocco will never give up on it. but also they are willing to die for it which i don't think a desert deserve it. sahara will never grow even if it is not under morocco. cuz in the end it will be ruled by another arabs.
@@nossoss2612 I agree and I don't want another failed arab state, this not how I feel about it I'm just stating facts
I’m from Western Sahara my whole family indentifies as Moroccans, the only reason the king can’t do much for us is because we’re in the middle of the desert so we move to urban cities and get free housing,only 30,000 western Saharas want to separate and be Polisario search it up and if they don’t want to be part f our county they can leave😂

Hispanic Americans support the independence of Western Sahara 🇪🇭 from Morocco and denounce its illegitimate occupation.
As a non-hispanic American, I agree completely. Same goes for the occupation of Palestine by Israel
In early 1975, both Morocco and Mauritania agreed to abide by the decision of the International Court of Justice on the status of the Spanish Sahara, but when the court ruled[5] in October 1975 that neither country was entitled to claim sovereignty over the territory, both governments chose to ignore the decision. In November 1975, they concluded the Madrid Agreements with Spain under which Morocco acquired the northern two-thirds of the territory, while Mauritania acquired the southern third. The agreement also included the proviso that Spain would retain shares in the Bu Craa mining enterprise. Mauritania acquiesced to the agreements under the assumption

Really nice video, the single thing you forgot to mention is that Spain is still holds the legal ownership over the territorry until an agreement is made, as aproved by the UN. Though Spain doesn't really control the territory it does control the airports and ports in the region as well as Sapanish citizens are alloud to travel to the region without a visa, just as if they were travellimg anywhere else in their country.

Communiste countries supported the separatiste movement in the south of morocco for ideological reasons. How would you feel, if i told you, without ever visiting your country or having any idea about the issues in it, that a separatiste mouvement in your country should have independance ? Let me know where are you from. Probably south africa but i don t know... and also let me know what do you think about the other separatist mouvements in the word including the ones in your own country ?
This video answered one of the big questions I have in life. Thanks a lot. What I wonder is what resources made this place special, because to be wanted for 3 other countries and a big territory that is saying a lot. Btw my country recognizes the Sahrawi Arab Republic because when there was a change of president, Their leader was an honorary guest. Too bad for the people which do not make the million but what can you expect if you do not follow the rules completely and many circunstances make a bigger discussion.
