Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This article analyzes the long-running dispute between Morocco and Algeria over the Western Sahara, tracing its roots from colonial-era border divisions to its present political and legal dimensions. It explains how the conflict started from colonial borders and opposing national interests, how the UN has tried to mediate, and what changed after the 2025 Security Council decision supporting Morocco’s autonomy plan. It also discusses the impact on regional politics and what the future might hold for both countries.
