The opening of diplomatic representations in the Sahara has weakened the argument of the Polisario and Algeria, which claim that no country recognizers Morocco’s sovereignty over the territory.
The Polisario has threatened to conclude military agreements with African countries against Morocco. The Front no longer hides its ambition to involve African countries in a war against the Kingdom.
The creation of the Sahrawi Movement for Peace (MSP) has brought new life into the Sahara. In a letter, Mustapha Salma urged the mayor of Laayoune to lead an initiative to unify Sahrawis. Some see it as the beginning of a relaunch of the Sahrawi National Union party, founded in 1974 by Khelihenna Ould Errachid.
