I became aware of this dispute way back in 1984 when I backpacked through Morocco including to the far south. When I got near the dividing line my guidebook warned me not to go any further due to the security situation. .
Sahrawis are not indigenous. They are Arabs who migrated to the area some centuries ago. Amazigh (Berbers) are the indigenous people. And lots of places and locations still have Amazigh names.
This is what I Keep telling them. There's no indiginious Sahrawi Arab Republic in Western Sahara. Because Arabs do not belong there. Plus, it's strange that they don't talk about eastern sahara because they would understand right away it's all a ploy to dispossess moroccans.
Exactly, Morocco has not exhibited any behavior typical of an occupying force; instead, it has treated the Saharan population as full Moroccan citizens. Morocco is inherently a diverse country with a variety of ethnic groups, and if it were a colonial power, it would have imposed a single dominant ethnicity over all regions. Additionally, the video barely mentions Morocco's investments in the Sahara, which have significantly improved the living conditions of the Saharan population, often surpassing those of people like me who live in the north. More importantly, it remains silent about the Eastern Sahara or the borders between Morocco and Algeria, because if this topic were addressed, everyone would realize that Algeria is using the Sahara as a political tool to pressure Morocco. The video also neglects to address the massive corruption within the Polisario, which has transformed it from an organization seeking independence into a group of corrupt individuals supported by Algeria, seeking territory and resources under the guise of independence.
He literally says that in the video. It's really a No Man's Land. The Polisario could theoretically occupy that zone, but it's literally just desert, there's really nothing there but sand so it's much better for them to stay in Algeria. There's a reason why Morocco doesn't care that much about that area, there's basically zero useful resources there to explore and inhabiting it is pretty much impossible.
Exactly, finally someone who talked about this.. this kind of videos always talk about the spanish colonisation as the history of Western Sahara, they never show the reality, the history of the land before colonisation, as it was a part of the Cherifian Alawite dynasty of Morocco, Saadis, Merinids, Almohads, Almoravids....
@@fabrica12dz64 He just discussed the argument of Morocco and Spain's response, he didn't show it in the video as a fact and as a truth and he didn't show maps or sources or the history of the land before colonisation in general
I actually went to the region recently (Laayoune) and it was possibly the most memorable experience of my life. So few tourists go there and interact with the locals that I was getting an unbelievable amount of attention. They were some of the kindest people I ever met. I spoke with a few about the concepts in this video, and they explained that they all considered the region as part of Morocco and it would not even be a question if their rivals Algeria were not funding the rebels. Of course I believe these were all Moroccan descendants, so they were biased, but based on everything I saw, I think Morocco has done an impressive job of absorbing the territory. Even if it was not the most fair way of doing it.
I am sorry but the Western Occupation and mainly France drew most North African borders. Go back to Atlas history and check the Map of Morocco before the Occupation (even during the Ottoman Empire - that could never make Morocco bend), it was a huge land stretching til the Senegal River (yes, Mauritania was part of Morocco once...), don't you ever question why Algeria has weird wide borders? France was considering Algeria a French territory for exactly 4 years ... Moroccan rebels helped the Algerians with weapons to gain their independence from France. The UN is holding to the old narrative (that France once sketched) because settling down African nations is a huge risk for many powerful and leading capitalist countries (due to the mineral resources amongst other natural resources... )
Firstly, the majority of the inhabitants of Western Sahara are actually Moroccan settlers born in Morocco who moved south to alter the local demographics. The Moroccan authorities offer certain fiscal benefits and employment opportunities in the region specifically to encourage Moroccans to settle in the south as colonists. Secondly, the only historical relationship between Morocco and this region was tribal allegiance from only certain tribes. In fact, the International Court and the UN have rejected all of Morocco’s claims for this reason, stating that it is not enough to prove Morocco’s sovereignty over the region historically.
@@cerdic6586 what he didn't say (among many mistakes), is that most maps include Saharan data in Morocco (GDP per Capita, military spending...) as data is supplied to international organizations by Morocco. Only some data like population density can be, indeed different (but full data is absolutely available).
Misleading informations, hiding a lot of other informations, do you think algeria gouverned by military dictatorship will ever want to be the good guy in this conflit, they kidnap their people who have other disagree with them, and shuting up the other. This video is very incorrect in presenting the conflit. Dislike and report
Western Sahara citizens: I don’t really care, we pay less taxes then the rest of them hehe Ppl saying “FREE US!”: Algerians in disguise trying to create fake conflict between Morocco and Western Sahara bc Algerians don’t have anything better to do than beef with Morocco
Well to be fair, it's pretty clear the creator does favor the Saraweli in the video. Also The world: there is no data that shows you exist West Sahara.
Umm, as a Western Saharan here, we are already free... Infact most have already moved to Central Morocco. Morocco owns and has always owned that land, it would've been an easy issue to fix if not for Algerian meddling...
Why didn't you talk about the history of this region before the Spanish colonization? This large part of the desert was under the empires that ruled Morocco for thousands of years. So how can the history of the region be summarized after 1973? Why don't we look for the historical roots of this region that originally go back to Morocco?
@@mike17032 most of the western sahara has phosphate, 75% of it around the globe is in western sahara, that is why the territory was left like that between spain and france so that morocco has a foot stuck with it but the funny part is that 98% of western sahara is moroccan, all citizens are(besides foreigners) and only 2% is occupied by polisario, an extremist group funded by algerian government that is and was funded by france, now the matter of western sahara in the UN is closed, its moroccan, all of it.
Short answer is either: "I can't believe it's not Morocco" Or "I can't believe it's not the SADR" Depends on which government/groups you choose to believe
Well it was caused by a greedy monarchy seeking glory and fortune, As of now, it is what it is, as of now, they have been defeated and now only serves as a way for Algeria to have a proxy war, This is not from a reliable source: The US perhaps only supported them because of the phosphate resource, muh socialism, and etc, also it's Trump that cause US to support them, you know how Trump is like lol
I live in laayoune i can confirm that i am proudly Moroccan it's always being kept off since the invading of spain you can search al moravid empire which was Morocco before the invading of France & Spain
14:43 the sand wall has recently been upgraded and moved closer to the actual border, the zone that you have marked as "polisario controlled" is actually a buffer zone, Polisario are based out of tindouf in algeria, they sneak in the buffer zone from time to time but they meet their fate there..
@ that's what happens when it's your land but you still gotta maneuver it carefully to avoid a desperate military action by Algeria and her algerian buddies at polisario
It's not a thing you should be proud of , it's ethnic cleanse and occupation of the land , according to Moroccan ideology Algeria should get back ouejda as part of Algeria cuz it was historically part of it
Solid question. The history of West Africa is interesting! The peoples in this area did not think of themselves as part of any country, as we think of such today. There were several tribes, city states, ethnic groups and empires in the area that Europeans tended to negotiate with prior to outright colonization. Think of this area more like Europe up until about the 1400s.... you could have a TON of cultural groups united into an empire....like the Holy Roman Empire.... who all thought of themselves as a part of that group(tribe, County, city, etc) that just happened to be ruled by an emperor. Nationality, as you and I understand it today, wasn't nearly as important as tribe, or family, or city state.
Yeah, what previous poster said. And the fact that if you think THIS got complicated as they told it--well, dig into the history of just Nigeria, for example. The sheer number of different groups .... to do that would be a mission impossible lol
Because that has nothing to do with the point of the video. Why didn't he also show the very particular animal species that live in the region? Maybe the air currents? Oh, or maybe the weather history! Perhaps he could have filled the video with the dew points day by day?
@Szriko you should start thinking with you head, instead of your .... It has everything to do with the topic, because Morocco was a lot bigger before france and spain colonized it...but they couldn't leave without causing trouble for the region by deviding countries into bits and pieces.
Fascinating how you visualize military spending across the globe! It really puts into perspective the varying priorities and resources of different nations.

I've lived here. It's because there is NOBODY except nomads (saharawai). it's Sahara full of landmines and empty and just used for military training. Only in dakhla on the peninsula there's a lot of people. And small tiny villages along the coast where is the single and only road through this area
RLL, I was in the US Marine Corps in 2013 when we were sent to Morocco for join training exercises. There were human rights investigators embedded with us, which angered the King and he ordered all NATO forces out of the country. Ended up being a training mission of mass military pull out. The tensions between us and our Moroccan counterparts were extremely high as the king also said no NATO troops were allowed to carry loaded firearms and his troops were carrying loaded Kalashnikovs. I can answer more questions if anyone has them.
US and Morocco are historically close allies. Morocco is a major non-NATO ally and was the first country to recognize the US, sided with the US during the cold war, pro-western, has a FTA with the US, buys mostly US military hardware etc.. What you're alluding to happened during the Obama administration. Obama wanted to add human rights supervision to the MINURSO mandate but couldn't because France and Russia threatened to veto it in the UN Security Council. Obama was moderately hostile to Morocco because his campaign was close to and lobbied by Mary Kerry Kennedy and her entourage, all of whom work at Mary's pay-to-play NGO that has a pro-Polisario stance. Obama eventually backpedaled. Democrats have always been ambivalent on Morocco's WS. Worst were Carter and Obama. Only exception, Clinton who actually advised Morocco to put forward the autonomy plan. Hillary was close to Morocco. By far, Republicans have always been closer to Morocco, sided with us on the WS issue since Reagan, got even better during G.W Bush and it eventually paid off with Trump, most pro-Morocco US president ever. Btw: God bless the US and the American people, country dear to me. Especially NYers and people of in Florida, who I know well. Lived in Midtown for 3 yrs, never met such a sympathetic people and amazing country. Kudos PS: video riled with errors, more than 40 countries recognize our sovereignty, a simple google search will show that many countries have consulates in our southern provinces and have formally issued recognitions of Morocco's sovereignty over WS. Too many errors and I don't want to add up to an already long message.
Let me clarify first: there is no territory controlled by the Polisario Front. The line that divides Western Sahara is actually a buffer zone created in the 1980s to prevent Polisario fighters from attacking cities and retreating to Algeria and Mauritania. Moroccan forces couldn’t chase them beyond the borders because Algeria wanted to provoke a war. This buffer zone is secured by long defensive walls fortified with mines. And it’s simple logic how could the Polisario control territory when facing military have Abrams tanks, F-16s, and Apache helicopters? Second whenever someone talks about Western Sahara, they often start from the 1970s when it was under Spanish control, as if Spain’s presence there was indefinite. However, the history goes much further back. Spain and France divided Morocco into zones of influence during the colonial era: Spain controlled the northern and southern regions, while France took the central part. After gaining independence in 1956, Morocco gradually recovered its territories, start reclaiming the north and later the south from Spain a simple as that. all this problems from algeria they host couple of ppl, they give them Palestine flag with Algeria star in the the middle, and they call the day.
If the people who inhabit Western Sahara are Moroccans and the people of Western Sahara say that the Sahara is Moroccan, why is Morocco afraid to implement the right of self-determination for the Sahrawi people?
@@Massi1962-m8w The mental gymnastics in this comment are almost impressive in their audacity. Let’s break it down, shall we? The people of Western Sahara are Moroccan because of historical, cultural, and legal ties that span centuries. This isn't a matter of debate; it's a matter of record. The Saharan tribes pledged allegiance to Moroccan sultans long before colonial powers scribbled borders onto a map, and the International Court of Justice itself acknowledged these ties. Now, about the so-called 'fear of self-determination': Morocco proposed an autonomy plan under its sovereignty - a plan that received widespread international support as realistic and credible. Who rejected it? The same parties that perpetuate the status quo, holding Sahrawis in Tindouf camps under questionable conditions instead of allowing them to return home. And let’s not pretend this is about human rights or justice. The real question isn’t why Morocco offers autonomy; it’s why some insist on a failed referendum narrative while ignoring Morocco's unmatched investments in the region, from infrastructure to education, raising living standards far above those in the surrounding areas. Maybe it’s time to stop parroting outdated talking points and start asking who actually benefits from keeping this conflict alive. Spoiler alert: It’s not Morocco or its saharwi moroccan citizens!
@@majda836The ICJ already decided that none of these supposed "ties" to the Moroccan sultan made the area Moroccan territory. Your argument that Morocco's "investments" in Western Sahara entitle it to the land is actually insane, too. The UN said Morocco needs to leave, the ICJ said Morocco needs to leave, the African Union said Morocco needs to leave, they need to leave. And take their settlers with them
11:39 For anyone curious, in the 1970s, after the death of Francisco Franco-the Spanish dictator who had ruled the country from 1939 to 1975 and had maintained Spanish control over the Sahara until that date-the King of Spain granted identity cards with Spanish citizenship to all the indigenous people living in the Spanish Sahara. Nevertheless, later, when he arrived there, he promised the population that he would personally lead the effort against the Moroccan forces to counter them. However, he ordered the army not to act during the Green March and to allow the Moroccans to occupy the area. Here in Spain, it is well known that during that time, following Franco’s death and the transition to democracy, Spain was not in a position to engage in sovereignty disputes with former colonies. Thus, those in power at the time, including King Juan Carlos and other politicians, made certain decisions.
There is something not very clear in the video. Ceuta and Melilla have never been part of the Spanish Protectorate as they have always been part of Spain territory as Madrid or Barcelona are.
This video is so incredibly biased against Morocco LOL. Just to clear some things up: 1) The land was always Moroccan. However in 1912, France and Spain simultaneously invaded Morocco and split it up. Atlas + Atlantic= French and Riff + Sahara= Spain 2) The "Sahrawi resistance" was created by Morocco to fight the Spanish. The Polisaria is just a seperatist branch of it. 3) Algeria is a French creation. All of the "Algerian desert" was never Algerian. Western Algeria like Tindouf were Moroccan until taken away by France and added to Algeria. Algeria promised to return the lands after their independance. Morocco even aided them in their fight. However. After their independance they found out that the region had some oil and natural gas. They then betrayed Morocco and came back on their promise. This is what caused the invasion. 4) The 350.000 "settlers" were mostly Sahrawis who had migrated in Morocco. Either for better opportunities or fleeing from the Spanish. They have a right to return and vote aswel. Although some of them were indeed settlers 👍

they would only say yes to get morocco off their land. if morocco didn't colonize them and they got their independence in 1975 like the rest of north africa they wouldn't think twice. Just like morocco and Algeria don't want to be part of france today

Morocco continues to treat the indigenous Sahrawi of the Western Sahara with undeserved contempt, but that tends to be the way with colonizers. Or do you believe that bombing Sahrawi refugee camps with napalm and white phosphorus is acceptable behavior? ANY government willing to commit such atrocities against non-combatants deserves no respect or support whatsoever. At what point will you admit that the Moroccan government has no interest in the Western Sahara except for whatever resources it can steal from its rightful inhabitants. It's been a disputed zone for over half a century and Morocco has no clear claim to it. Which is why it is STILL a disputed territory, unrecognized by most of the world.
El Sáhara marroquí con la historia, la ley y el derecho de Marruecos en 1958 a contener a los españoles en la Batalla de Ecovión. En aquel momento no existía ningún grupo terrorista.

Sahrawis are not indigenous. They are Arabs who migrated to the area some centuries ago. Amazigh (Berbers) are the indigenous people. And lots of places and locations still have Amazigh names.
Are you dumb? Even the berbers migrated to north Africa so what's your point???
This is what I Keep telling them. There's no indiginious Sahrawi Arab Republic in Western Sahara. Because Arabs do not belong there. Plus, it's strange that they don't talk about eastern sahara because they would understand right away it's all a ploy to dispossess moroccans.
Exactly, Morocco has not exhibited any behavior typical of an occupying force; instead, it has treated the Saharan population as full Moroccan citizens. Morocco is inherently a diverse country with a variety of ethnic groups, and if it were a colonial power, it would have imposed a single dominant ethnicity over all regions.
Additionally, the video barely mentions Morocco's investments in the Sahara, which have significantly improved the living conditions of the Saharan population, often surpassing those of people like me who live in the north.
More importantly, it remains silent about the Eastern Sahara or the borders between Morocco and Algeria, because if this topic were addressed, everyone would realize that Algeria is using the Sahara as a political tool to pressure Morocco.
The video also neglects to address the massive corruption within the Polisario, which has transformed it from an organization seeking independence into a group of corrupt individuals supported by Algeria, seeking territory and resources under the guise of independence.

That's what he says in the video
He literally says that in the video. It's really a No Man's Land. The Polisario could theoretically occupy that zone, but it's literally just desert, there's really nothing there but sand so it's much better for them to stay in Algeria. There's a reason why Morocco doesn't care that much about that area, there's basically zero useful resources there to explore and inhabiting it is pretty much impossible.

I actually went to the region recently (Laayoune) and it was possibly the most memorable experience of my life. So few tourists go there and interact with the locals that I was getting an unbelievable amount of attention. They were some of the kindest people I ever met. I spoke with a few about the concepts in this video, and they explained that they all considered the region as part of Morocco and it would not even be a question if their rivals Algeria were not funding the rebels. Of course I believe these were all Moroccan descendants, so they were biased, but based on everything I saw, I think Morocco has done an impressive job of absorbing the territory. Even if it was not the most fair way of doing it.
I am sorry but the Western Occupation and mainly France drew most North African borders. Go back to Atlas history and check the Map of Morocco before the Occupation (even during the Ottoman Empire - that could never make Morocco bend), it was a huge land stretching til the Senegal River (yes, Mauritania was part of Morocco once...), don't you ever question why Algeria has weird wide borders? France was considering Algeria a French territory for exactly 4 years ... Moroccan rebels helped the Algerians with weapons to gain their independence from France. The UN is holding to the old narrative (that France once sketched) because settling down African nations is a huge risk for many powerful and leading capitalist countries (due to the mineral resources amongst other natural resources... )
Firstly, the majority of the inhabitants of Western Sahara are actually Moroccan settlers born in Morocco who moved south to alter the local demographics. The Moroccan authorities offer certain fiscal benefits and employment opportunities in the region specifically to encourage Moroccans to settle in the south as colonists.
Secondly, the only historical relationship between Morocco and this region was tribal allegiance from only certain tribes. In fact, the International Court and the UN have rejected all of Morocco’s claims for this reason, stating that it is not enough to prove Morocco’s sovereignty over the region historically.
You saw people in Laayoune? Was it summer? The last time I was there I saw maybe 6 people total, and most of them were selling bus tickets.

Umm, as a Western Saharan here, we are already free... Infact most have already moved to Central Morocco. Morocco owns and has always owned that land, it would've been an easy issue to fix if not for Algerian meddling...
Why didn't you talk about the history of this region before the Spanish colonization? This large part of the desert was under the empires that ruled Morocco for thousands of years. So how can the history of the region be summarized after 1973? Why don't we look for the historical roots of this region that originally go back to Morocco?
because its irrelevant
Because it doesn’t really matter on how we got to the current state of things.

Why didn't you show what country it was before europe colonized africa?
Solid question.
The history of West Africa is interesting! The peoples in this area did not think of themselves as part of any country, as we think of such today. There were several tribes, city states, ethnic groups and empires in the area that Europeans tended to negotiate with prior to outright colonization. Think of this area more like Europe up until about the 1400s.... you could have a TON of cultural groups united into an empire....like the Holy Roman Empire.... who all thought of themselves as a part of that group(tribe, County, city, etc) that just happened to be ruled by an emperor. Nationality, as you and I understand it today, wasn't nearly as important as tribe, or family, or city state.
Yeah, what previous poster said. And the fact that if you think THIS got complicated as they told it--well, dig into the history of just Nigeria, for example. The sheer number of different groups .... to do that would be a mission impossible lol
Because that has nothing to do with the point of the video. Why didn't he also show the very particular animal species that live in the region? Maybe the air currents? Oh, or maybe the weather history! Perhaps he could have filled the video with the dew points day by day?
@Szriko you should start thinking with you head, instead of your .... It has everything to do with the topic, because Morocco was a lot bigger before france and spain colonized it...but they couldn't leave without causing trouble for the region by deviding countries into bits and pieces.

RLL, I was in the US Marine Corps in 2013 when we were sent to Morocco for join training exercises. There were human rights investigators embedded with us, which angered the King and he ordered all NATO forces out of the country. Ended up being a training mission of mass military pull out. The tensions between us and our Moroccan counterparts were extremely high as the king also said no NATO troops were allowed to carry loaded firearms and his troops were carrying loaded Kalashnikovs.
I can answer more questions if anyone has them.
US and Morocco are historically close allies. Morocco is a major non-NATO ally and was the first country to recognize the US, sided with the US during the cold war, pro-western, has a FTA with the US, buys mostly US military hardware etc..
What you're alluding to happened during the Obama administration. Obama wanted to add human rights supervision to the MINURSO mandate but couldn't because France and Russia threatened to veto it in the UN Security Council.
Obama was moderately hostile to Morocco because his campaign was close to and lobbied by Mary Kerry Kennedy and her entourage, all of whom work at Mary's pay-to-play NGO that has a pro-Polisario stance. Obama eventually backpedaled.
Democrats have always been ambivalent on Morocco's WS. Worst were Carter and Obama. Only exception, Clinton who actually advised Morocco to put forward the autonomy plan. Hillary was close to Morocco.
By far, Republicans have always been closer to Morocco, sided with us on the WS issue since Reagan, got even better during G.W Bush and it eventually paid off with Trump, most pro-Morocco US president ever.
Btw: God bless the US and the American people, country dear to me. Especially NYers and people of in Florida, who I know well. Lived in Midtown for 3 yrs, never met such a sympathetic people and amazing country. Kudos
PS: video riled with errors, more than 40 countries recognize our sovereignty, a simple google search will show that many countries have consulates in our southern provinces and have formally issued recognitions of Morocco's sovereignty over WS. Too many errors and I don't want to add up to an already long message.
Let me clarify first: there is no territory controlled by the Polisario Front. The line that divides Western Sahara is actually a buffer zone created in the 1980s to prevent Polisario fighters from attacking cities and retreating to Algeria and Mauritania. Moroccan forces couldn’t chase them beyond the borders because Algeria wanted to provoke a war. This buffer zone is secured by long defensive walls fortified with mines. And it’s simple logic how could the Polisario control territory when facing military have Abrams tanks, F-16s, and Apache helicopters?
Second whenever someone talks about Western Sahara, they often start from the 1970s when it was under Spanish control, as if Spain’s presence there was indefinite. However, the history goes much further back. Spain and France divided Morocco into zones of influence during the colonial era: Spain controlled the northern and southern regions, while France took the central part. After gaining independence in 1956, Morocco gradually recovered its territories, start reclaiming the north and later the south from Spain a simple as that. all this problems from algeria they host couple of ppl, they give them Palestine flag with Algeria star in the the middle, and they call the day.
If the people who inhabit Western Sahara are Moroccans and the people of Western Sahara say that the Sahara is Moroccan, why is Morocco afraid to implement the right of self-determination for the Sahrawi people?
@@Massi1962-m8w The mental gymnastics in this comment are almost impressive in their audacity. Let’s break it down, shall we? The people of Western Sahara are Moroccan because of historical, cultural, and legal ties that span centuries. This isn't a matter of debate; it's a matter of record. The Saharan tribes pledged allegiance to Moroccan sultans long before colonial powers scribbled borders onto a map, and the International Court of Justice itself acknowledged these ties.
Now, about the so-called 'fear of self-determination': Morocco proposed an autonomy plan under its sovereignty - a plan that received widespread international support as realistic and credible. Who rejected it? The same parties that perpetuate the status quo, holding Sahrawis in Tindouf camps under questionable conditions instead of allowing them to return home.
And let’s not pretend this is about human rights or justice. The real question isn’t why Morocco offers autonomy; it’s why some insist on a failed referendum narrative while ignoring Morocco's unmatched investments in the region, from infrastructure to education, raising living standards far above those in the surrounding areas.
Maybe it’s time to stop parroting outdated talking points and start asking who actually benefits from keeping this conflict alive. Spoiler alert: It’s not Morocco or its saharwi moroccan citizens!
@@majda836 The ICJ acknowledged these ties, and said they were not substantial enough to support the morrocan claim.
@@zanderclark1461what this liar didn’t said. Is that the ICJ also said that moroccan sultan had power and control over these tribes
@@majda836The ICJ already decided that none of these supposed "ties" to the Moroccan sultan made the area Moroccan territory. Your argument that Morocco's "investments" in Western Sahara entitle it to the land is actually insane, too. The UN said Morocco needs to leave, the ICJ said Morocco needs to leave, the African Union said Morocco needs to leave, they need to leave. And take their settlers with them
11:39 For anyone curious, in the 1970s, after the death of Francisco Franco-the Spanish dictator who had ruled the country from 1939 to 1975 and had maintained Spanish control over the Sahara until that date-the King of Spain granted identity cards with Spanish citizenship to all the indigenous people living in the Spanish Sahara. Nevertheless, later, when he arrived there, he promised the population that he would personally lead the effort against the Moroccan forces to counter them. However, he ordered the army not to act during the Green March and to allow the Moroccans to occupy the area. Here in Spain, it is well known that during that time, following Franco’s death and the transition to democracy, Spain was not in a position to engage in sovereignty disputes with former colonies. Thus, those in power at the time, including King Juan Carlos and other politicians, made certain decisions.

There is something not very clear in the video. Ceuta and Melilla have never been part of the Spanish Protectorate as they have always been part of Spain territory as Madrid or Barcelona are.
This video is so incredibly biased against Morocco LOL. Just to clear some things up:
1) The land was always Moroccan. However in 1912, France and Spain simultaneously invaded Morocco and split it up. Atlas + Atlantic= French and Riff + Sahara= Spain
2) The "Sahrawi resistance" was created by Morocco to fight the Spanish. The Polisaria is just a seperatist branch of it.
3) Algeria is a French creation. All of the "Algerian desert" was never Algerian. Western Algeria like Tindouf were Moroccan until taken away by France and added to Algeria. Algeria promised to return the lands after their independance. Morocco even aided them in their fight. However. After their independance they found out that the region had some oil and natural gas. They then betrayed Morocco and came back on their promise. This is what caused the invasion.
4) The 350.000 "settlers" were mostly Sahrawis who had migrated in Morocco. Either for better opportunities or fleeing from the Spanish. They have a right to return and vote aswel. Although some of them were indeed settlers 👍

This is Africa, not Asia, the Amazigh are the legitimate people and they are Moroccan, go back to the gulf and leave us alone.

الصحراء مغربية رغم أنف الحاقدين ، لدي ملاحظة صغيرة هي أنك ذكرت أن إسبانيا كانت محتلة الصحراء من قبل ولكنك لم تقل أنها كانت تابعة للمملكة قبل أن تحتلها إسبانيا ، وأتحدى أي شخص يأتيني بإسم حاكم واحد لهذه الصحراء على مدار التاريخ من غير المغرب !! نحن لا نساوم في صحرائنا ولكننا اخترنا الطريق القانوني فقط وهذا دليل بأننا أصحاب الأرض لا محتلين لها .
الأرشيف المغربي والإسباني مليئ بالوثائق التي تبرهن أن القبائل الصحراوية على غرار باقي القبائل المغربية الاخرى كانت تابعة للمملكة .
الصحراء صحرائنا و سنحارب عليها حتى نحرر أخر حبة رمل فيها ولا عزاء للجزائريين البؤساء .
ديما مغرب 🇲🇦⚔️🫡
Nope, not yours.

Morocco continues to treat the indigenous Sahrawi of the Western Sahara with undeserved contempt, but that tends to be the way with colonizers. Or do you believe that bombing Sahrawi refugee camps with napalm and white phosphorus is acceptable behavior? ANY government willing to commit such atrocities against non-combatants deserves no respect or support whatsoever. At what point will you admit that the Moroccan government has no interest in the Western Sahara except for whatever resources it can steal from its rightful inhabitants. It's been a disputed zone for over half a century and Morocco has no clear claim to it. Which is why it is STILL a disputed territory, unrecognized by most of the world.
Yeah no. You're colonizers trying to steal their resources
Morocco is known to have the same procedures as Israël and that says everything
love how you say how dangerous the wall is.... and then there is just Schelsser bombing along through it in a buggy
27:00 I remember when this happened. but it was the Polisario front that declared a renewal of hostilities and started shooting artillery north.
Probably because their territory is occupied. You’re either a Zionist or Moroccan colonizer… but same thing, right?
El Sáhara marroquí con la historia, la ley y el derecho de Marruecos en 1958 a contener a los españoles en la Batalla de Ecovión. En aquel momento no existía ningún grupo terrorista. En 1973, Libia y Argelia fundaron un grupo terrorista llamado Polisario. Lucharon contra Marruecos durante 16 años sin ningún resultado. El poder de Marruecos y su derecho a su tierra le hicieron luchar con todas sus fuerzas contra los comunistas del mundo de entonces, Libia, Argelia, Irán, Siria, los soviéticos, Cuba. Marruecos controla ahora todo su territorio y no cederá ni un centímetro, cueste lo que cueste. El Polisario es un grupo terrorista liderado por Argelia
Before you talk check in 1912 when the french colony the border of Morocco down to Senegal there were no Mauritania of even algeria state this is the results of the greed of France and Spain but one day we will get back our territory preserved for 12 centuries
God's willing ... 🙏🙏🙏
I was scrolling through the comments looking for this post. I figured someone out there must have something to say about it.
Yes. I wish you the best of luck.
Hahaha why do Morocco and Western Sahara meet 3 or 4 times a year in the decolonization committee and the committee says Morocco is colonizing Western Sahara or is that shameful for you?
Wow, fantastic work!!!
1:10 bro I get it. NO DATA... get on with the video LMAO
This video is very biased towards the Polizario front
How? Hes literally describing the situation the mist realistic way.
@@paysage1121 There's many information he presents to make Morocco look evil and many other he polishes or ignores which would have made Polisario look bad.
@paysage1121 That's exactly what I said. He is describing the situation from a polizario/Algeria perspective.
@@khorotoconnexion if he's talking about the situation from the Algerian perspective he wouldn't even mention kabylia

Here's a koan: if a court has nothing to enforce its rulings, does it really exist?
The US is the only real international authority. Neither the UN nor the ICJ can do anything at all without US support. So any decision the US disagrees with is unenforceable.
How does one tiny country manage to consistently cause so much trouble around the world?
Crazy right
Western Sahara is so controversial.
as catalonia
no it isn't, colonizing is bad no matter what.
@@rafale4805How does colonisation have anything to do with this, you mean Morocco colonisation? Because it was Muslim moors and descendants of Arabs who invaded the Iberian peninsula and defeated Spanish kingdoms and ruled for a long time there, Spain ended up pushing back south to free themselves. People seem to conveniently forget how Arabs are just as big of a coloniser as any Western power, and they enslaved much more people directly... Africans, Middle Easterners, and even white people for slaves.
@@rafale4805So tell Spain to give us back Melilla, Ceuta and Canary Islands. Tell France to go out from New Caledonia, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Martinique and Polynesia. Tell UK to give away Gibraltar. Sahara is Moroccan since forever, it was under royal dinasties for centuries and it was Moorish so it’s OUR land. Not spanish, not french, not algerian. Sahrawis are Moroccan and they can tell you the same
