The Elcano Royal Institute in Spain stated in a new report that following the recent UN Security Council resolution on the Sahara, «all the cards are now in Morocco’s hands».

A Middle East Institute researcher argues that linking political dialogue to regional integration could «turn competition into coexistence» and transform Algeria from a regional spoiler into a viable partner.
