.ALMOST HALF A CENTURY have passed due to the fact that Morocco asserted prepotence over Western side Sahara, a piece of land that stretches for 900km along the Atlantic shoreline to the country's south. The Polisario Face-- a resistance group backed by Algeria, Morocco's long-lasting opponent, and also working with the region's native population, the Sahrawi-- is still fighting for control. In 2020 a 29-year ceasefire malfunctioned. On July 30th France called Morocco's think about Western side Sahara the "merely basis" to address the problem. Algeria reversed its own ambassador to France in feedback.
