Yes. France and Spain basically took control of the country for 100 years, ending in 1957. Spain actually retains two autonomous zones (Ceuta and Melilla) in what would be Morocco. There are more French speakers than Spanish speakers, but there is more Spanish as you go north to bigger cities. The biggest city, Casablanca, means "white house" in Spanish.

***** You're missing the point here -- it matters not where they are being filmed; they could be at any refugee camp in any country, but that won't change their cultural background before displacement. You're right they're not Moroccans, they're Sahawari -- the people of Western Sahara, but I never said they were Moroccans. I didn't even imply it; I was simply answering Voltage's question. The fact that they're refugees does not change the fact that the people of Western Sahara (whose rebel group is the Polisario), as well as the people of Morocco were heavily influenced by Spanish and French, culturally speaking. "Polisario" actually is an acronym for Popular de Liberación de Saguía el Hamra y Río de Oro. That's a Spanish acronym, by the way.

They payed Venewuela,South Africa,Cuba ... to pick their sides in the UN, and when they were questioned about the matter they seemed to know anything about the region !!!

The Western Sahara Territory issue is a very complex one. It should be treated with professionalism. In a conflict, when a journalist repeats words, expressions, views...of one side, he takes aside. A journalist should use "according to" more than once to not misled watchers/readers. Being under the spell of one side isn't about journalism, it's about adversiting editorial. This very young lady has no knowledge on the Western Sahara issue. She has no idea about the genesis of the issue in a context of cold war. She has no idea about the role of Algeria and the USSR block in the issue. She has no idea about the will of the Western Saharawi. She has no idea about the situation on the ground, the sufferings of Tindouf camps inhabitants when they revolt, the food/water blackmail by Polisario leaders to keep the Saharawi quite ...She missed an occasion to talk to persecuted people in Polisario Front camps. She intentionally missed to mention the unionist Western Saharawi who represent the large majority in the region... More to read on CORCAS websites.

*On 15 October, a UN visiting mission sent by the General Assembly to tour the region and investigate the political situation published its findings, showing that the Sahrawi population were "overwhelmingly" in favor of independence from both Spain and Morocco/Mauritania. These findings were submitted to the Court, who published their opinion the next day.* For the former question, the Court decided by a vote of 13 to three that the court could make a decision on the matter, and unanimously voted that at the time of colonization (defined as 28 November 1884), the territory was not terra nullius (that is, the territory, did belong to someone). For the latter question, the Court decided by a vote of 14 to two that it would decide. It was of the opinion, by 14 votes to two, that there were legal ties of allegiance between this territory and the Kingdom of Morocco. Furthermore, it was of opinion, by 15 votes to one, that there were legal ties between this territory and the "Mauritanian entity". However, the Court defined the nature of these legal ties in the penultimate paragraph of its opinion, and declared *that neither legal tie implied sovereignty or rightful ownership over the territory.* These legal ties also did not apply to "self-determination through the free and genuine expression of the will of the peoples of the Territory."

@@reanimationeas342 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Sahara#Economy In 2011, leaked United States diplomatic cables revealed that the territory is somewhat of an economic burden for Morocco;[97] the Moroccan US$800 million subsidy program to Western Sahara was said to be one of the larger per-capita aid programs in history.[97] Supporting life in a territory with scarce freshwater resources is extremely costly. For example, all drinking water for the city of Laayoune comes from desalinization facilities and costs 3 US dollars per cubic meter but is sold at the national price of 0.0275 US dollars; the difference is paid for by the government of Morocco.[97] Fuel is sold at half the price, and basic goods are heavily subsidized;[97] businesses operating in the territory do not pay taxes.[97] All of this is done to keep the balance of Western Sahara's finances.[97] The territory is otherwise thought to be economically unviable and unable to support its population without the Moroccan subsidies.[98] The cable concluded that the territory is unlikely ever to be of any economic benefit for Morocco, even if offshore oil fields were to be discovered and exploited.[97] Due to the disputed nature of Moroccan sovereignty over the territory, the application of international accords to Western Sahara is highly ambiguous. Political leadership of trade agreement signatories such as the United States (US-Morocco Free Trade Agreement) and Norway (European Free Trade Association trade accord) have made statements as to these agreements' non-applicability - although practical policy application is ambiguous.

Sahara is Moroccan and will remain so. Stop referring to it as " Occupied by Morocco" when in fact it is Moroccan. and the Sahrawi people are Moroccan, and don't let the evil Algeria get in to your heads.

Griffin Fisher keep dreaming the war is god for morocco, it will be the occasion to exterminate that virus called polizario.

Like they say" the enemy of my enemy is my friend" the group that is fighting to Moroccan occupation and to give its people civil rights is a noble cause. As compare to extremist jihadists. We must support the Sahrawi people and its resistance to occupation; so that the region doesn't become another ISIS control territory. I dont even need to mention what that will result into. The whole world knows by now the horrors of extremist groups like the terrorists of ISIS. THE Sahrawi people are brave for fight and organize miilitary and also fighting against the coward extremist jihadists.

To all of those Moroccans claiming the story to be one sided and that the Saharans are in fact well contempt with the situation as it is, i.e. being occupied by a foreign nation, an internationally supervised referendum would surely put this issue to bed

We did offer that but the polisario only wants 75k(spanish census) to vote while morocco wants everyone to vote cause we know the vast majority would vote to remain Sincerly a MOROCCAN living in LAAYOUEN

Morocco has been occupying the Western Sahara for more than 46 years and even so it continues to say that it is its territory but it never was and I will tell you why in 1975 when Spain made the tripartite agreements of Madrid on November 14, 1975 Spain left the territory to Morocco and Morocco took and divided its territory with Mauritania, now tell me who divides its territory with another country? free Icono de Validado por la comunidad

Who divides its territory with another country? What happened in Oslo when the Palestinian authority accepted to recognize Israel? Sometimes you have to compromise on territories to achieve peace. Morocco could not afford to fight Algeria, Spain, and Mauritania at the same time. If we want to talk about logic : why do Bidan need two countries when they already have Mauritania? Mauritania is a Sahrawi country, it's the same ethnicity that is ruling the country. So Sahrawi separatist, if they want their own state, they should move to Mauritania. But the Sahara is Moroccan. And nothing will ever change that.

The second the man said they're living in a democratic state within the borders of Algeria, he lost all integrity. Think whatever you want about Morocco but "Algeria a democracy"😂 joke of the century.
