Positions of the parties

Kingdom of Morocco

The position of the Kingdom of Morocco is that all of Western Sahara is an integral part of the Kingdom. The Moroccan government refers to Western Sahara only as the "Sahara," "Moroccan Sahara," "Saharan provinces," or the "Southern Provinces". Western Sahara is the historical birthplace of the most glorious Moroccan ruling dynasties, the Almoravids and the Almohads. In 1958, the Moroccan Liberation Army of the South almost liberated what was then Spanish Sahara. Among the veterans of the Moroccan Southern Army are fathers of many of the Polisario leaders, like the father of Mohammed Abdelaziz, the Polisario leader. Morocco is supported in this view by many former Polisario founders and leaders. The Polisario Front is considered a Moroccan separatist movement, refering to the Moroccan origins of most of its founding members, and the SADR as a puppet state for Algeria to fight a proxy war with Morocco. Mohamed Abdelaziz, pictured c. ... Since the end of the 1980s, several members of Polisario have decided to discontinue their military or political activities for the Polisario Front. ... A puppet state is a state whose government, though notionally of the same culture as the governed people - owes its existence (or other major debt) to being installed, supported or controlled by a more powerful entity, typically a foreign power. ... A proxy war is a war where two powers use third parties as a supplement or a substitute for fighting each other directly. ...


Polisario Front

The position of the Polisario Front is that Western Sahara is an occupied territory, the rightful government of which is the exiled Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic.[1] The UN also considers Western Sahara an occupied territory, and a territory which should be decolonized, since the legal administrator of the territory still is Spain. Although the Sahrawi republic is not recognised as a member state in the UN, Polisario is considered as a direct party in the conflict. The Polisario, Polisario Front, or Frente Polisario, from the Spanish abbreviation of Frente Popular de Liberación de Saguía el Hamra y Río de Oro (Popular Front for the Liberation of Saguia el-Hamra and Río de Oro) is a Sahrawi movement working for the independence of...

Colonialism in 1945 Decolonization refers to the achievement of independence by the various Western colonies and protectorates in Asia and Africa following World War II. This conforms with an intellectual movement known as Post-Colonialism. ...


Algeria

Algeria has been supporting the independence of Western Sahara diplomatically since 1975. In 1976, Algeria got involved directly in the conflict, but after a military confrontation at Amgala against the Moroccan Army, the algerian role became that of an indirectly involved party through political and military support to the Polisario front. The anti-Moroccan Algerian position is thought to be due to the aftermath of the Sand War of 1963. Amgala is an oasis in Western Sahara. ... The Polisario, Polisario Front, or Frente Polisario, from the Spanish abbreviation of Frente Popular de Liberación de Saguía el Hamra y Río de Oro (Popular Front for the Liberation of Saguia el-Hamra and Río de Oro) is a Sahrawi movement working for the independence of... Skirmishes along the Algerian-Moroccan border in 1963 escalated into a full-blown Moroccan attack on the newborn Algerian state, in an attempt to claim the Tindouf area as part of Greater Morocco. While Morocco is considered to have had the upper hand militarily, the war produced no territorial gains...


United Nations

Western Sahara has been listed on the UN list of territories to be decolonized when it was a Spanish colony in the 1960s[2]. The UN has been involved since 1988 to find a solution to the conflict through a way to allow the population of Western Sahara to use their right to self-determination. In 1991,a ceasefire has been agreed upon between the parties and a referendum was to take place to decide if Western Sahara is to become independent or be a part of Morocco. The parties did not agree on who should vote. The position of the UN is that the conflict should solved through a peaceful and negotiated solution agreed upon by all parties. Self-determination is a principle in international law that a people ought to be able to determine their own governmental forms and structure free from outside influence. ...

Recognition

The SADR is recognized by 44 states. Non-recognition of the Sahrawi republic does not imply non-recognition of the Polisario Front: several governments acknowledge Polisario as the legitimate representative of the Sahrawi people, but not its exile government as a state. Several states have withdrawn their recognition of the SADR. Although Morocco claims that no recognition is required, Moroccan sovereignty over the territory is explicitly supported by the Arab League[5] [6] and by 25 states. Diplomatic recognition is the act in which a states government is formally recognized by another state as being legitimate. ...

List of states supporting Moroccan claims on Western Sahara

While the sovereignty of Morocco over Western Sahara is not formally recognised by the UN and many other states as was stressed by the former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan in a report on Western Sahara to the Security Council[34], Morocco is considered as the administrative power[35], and except for the free trade agreement with the US, all international treaties with Morocco apply also to Western Sahara. Kofi Annan, current Secretary-General of the United Nations The Secretary-General of the United Nations is the head of the Secretariat, one of the principal organs of the United Nations. ... Kofi Atta Annan (born April 8, 1938) is a Ghanaian diplomat and was the seventh Secretary-General of the United Nations from January 1, 1997 to December 31, 2006. ... The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is the organ of the United Nations charged with maintaining peace and security among nations. ...


While the recognitions are less important for Morocco than for the SADR, some UN member states have expressed support of "Morocco's territorial integrity", in reference to Western Sahara as Moroccan provinces. This list is based on several sources and may be incomplete, as many of the Arab world's closest allies of Morocco like Jordan and Saudi Arabia and many Gulf states that supported Morocco militarily in the conflict are not listed: Territorial integrity is the principle under international law that nation-states should not attempt to promote secessionist movements or to promote border changes in other nation-states. ...
