Abstract

The article discusses recent talks convened by the US involving Morocco and Algeria regarding the territorial dispute over Western Sahara, a resource-rich area claimed by Morocco. Senior delegations from the US and the United Nations facilitated discussions in Madrid with representatives from Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania, and the rebel group Polisario Front. The talks aimed to address the implementation of a UN Security Council resolution on Western Sahara, following the US's recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over the territory in 2020. The status of Western Sahara has been contentious since Morocco annexed it in 1975, leading to a prolonged conflict that has seen a resurgence of violence since a ceasefire collapsed in late 2020.
