    Countries such as Algeria and Mauritania will never accept Morocco's position on abiding by the true historical borders, simply because they have none and would stick to the borders inherited from colonialism.. colonialism is the reason why there are so many new born countries in Africa

    You do realize that those "true historical borders" were also founded on the basis of colonialism or conquest? It's not like there was a point in time when suddenly a bunch of states popped up into existence with their borders. History started with the formation of city states which then consolidated into proper states which then expanded as well, whether that be through war or other means. All these squabbles about borders based on history is completely idiotic. UN borders should be followed and with potential changes only happening peacefully. World history has brought us to the current existing borders of the world, there is no good objective reason to start conflicts to change them.

Thousands of kingdoms rose and fell over the course of time do these kingdoms also have a claim now? Like do lebanon have claim over Tunisia and parts of italy since both were a part of the phoenician emipre some thousands of years ago? do egypt have a claim over north sudan that was a part of the Egyptian empire? Does Turkey still still have a claim over the majority of the middle east? What about iran iraq syria all have claims over each other too the assyrian persian and islamic empires? What about india and Bangladesh india and Pakistan india and nepal india and china china and Taiwan china and Vietnam Vietnam and laos and more and more should they all have the right to attack and colonise each other because an empire that rose hundred of years ago on their land did the same thing?

    Great video, although I disagree with some points, mainly : - A not so great part of the population fled to Tindouf, some who came back stated that they've been forced to go there, and that a sizeable part of the "refugees" aren't even from the Sahara, a proof of that is the constant refusal for a census of the population of Tindouf refugee camps. That 173k figure was never proven by a third party. - in 2020, Moroccan forces intervened to restore civilian movement that has been blocked for nearly two months by Polisario Militias. - the algerians truckers killed in 2022 have never been identified (to my knowledge), no proof of them being inside Mauretanian territory has been provided, so, mystery truckers carrying mystery loads inside a contested zone have been shot down by mystery drones... All said, great video and great effort, thanks for everything.

So you are wrong !! 15:00 the truckers killed were not Algerians, they were Polizario members going into the Mauritanian land trying to be a constant nuisance to both Mauritania and Morocco's security 14:22 Spain apologized for the mistake of letting in Ghali illegally into the country, since he is considered a wanted criminal, so Spain was in a mess with the UN and Morocco for a while. 16:37 Wrong use of the word refugees. There are no refugees in Tindouf. Tindouf is an Algerian city, and since it's close to the borders with sub-Saharan countries, it is composed of a population of multiple nationalities living in inhumane conditions as the UN states, although Algeria gets hundreds of millions of dollars from aid.

Regarding support and betrayal, it is enough for you to go back a little to see who is the greatest traitor and how the Sultan of Fez allied with the French. Militarily, after he was threatened by the French to fight and chase Prince Abdul Qadir and his force on the western border, to use pincers on him, knowing that there is a close relationship between them.

    Very good video to introduce people to this rather unknown conflict. However, I note a few flaws, some quite important to understand the context : 1) The reason Morocco refused the referendum in 1974 is because Spain refused to take into account the sahrawis fighters (and their family) that fought for Morocco in the Ifni War of 1958, and that have fled to northern Morocco during the Moroccan retreat. To this day, the question of "who should be allowed to vote" is the reason the referendum doesn't take place, because none of the parties can come to an understanding. 2) In the 2020 crisis of Guerguerat, it was the Polisario Front that violated the 1991 cease fire agreement. They blocked the road between Morocco and Mauritania with armed fighters, and it is forbidden for both Moroccan and Polisario soldiers to be armed within 5 kilometers of the sand wall. Morocco actually waited for 3 weeks for UN authorization to kick out the Polisario forces, so it is just wrong to blame this one one Morocco. Otherwise, very interesting video for those who wish to introduce themselves to this conflict.

    In conclusion, there is no "Western Sahara." Never was. Never will be. It's just the historically, ancestrally, genetically, authentically, and inextricably Moroccan part of the Sahara. Moroccans are still having to deal with the draconian Western European colonial policies imposed on its country half a century later.

    The information cited in the video is generally accurate, except for one very important detail: at the minute 13:30, big thing happend, "In late October 2020, truck drivers and truckers complained that activists from the Polisario Front were blocking the border between Morocco and Mauritania, obstructing traffic and prohibiting the passage of any vehicle with Moroccan registration or displaying a Moroccan flag. It should be noted that this was also in violation of international regulations (videos are still available on KZread). As a result, the Moroccan military launched a military operation in the buffer zone of Guerguerat, citing "Polisario provocations" in order to restore traffic. The following day, the government of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic announced the end of the ceasefire and declared war on Morocco."

    The first event to weaken Morocco after its division between France and Spain was the annexation of Moroccan lands to Algeria in 1938, as indicated in the video. Algeria reneged on its agreements with Morocco in 1961. The Polisario was formed by Spain before its departure in 1973, and the goal is clear: to leave An exhausted Morocco without resources and preoccupied with conflicts. Otherwise, it will be a strong Morocco and a competitor to Europe, which is what the Western powers do not want.

    Morocco rejected France’s offer to take the Sahara in exchange for conducting nuclear tests there, sharing its underground resources, and using it as a French base to plunder Africa, which is what Algeria agreed to in the Evian Agreement, after seven years of Moroccan-Tunisian support for the Algerian resistance. Without this support, Algeria would not have gained independence.

    The real reason for the tension is Morocco's expansionist ambitions, which were behind it by France and America to geostrategically blockade Algeria, an ally of the Soviet Union. but let me tell you something, just like Moroccan regime let go of Tindouf in 1963, and Mauritania in 1972, and Ceuta and Melila in 2022, they will go of Western Sahara sooner or later.

    Great video, but you missed an important detail, in 2020 when Moroccan forces crossed into guerguerrat that was because polisario militias were blocking the road between morocco and mauritania, just the short blockade they enforced made some food prices in Mauritania sky rocket as they rely on Morocco for a lot of agricultural products, so a paramilitary branch of the Moroccan army was sent there to drive the polisario militias away and secure the trade route, its not like the army just went in there unprovoked and broke an agreement
