The adoption of Resolution 2797 by the UN Security Council has ushered in a new dynamic in the Sahara. The prospect of genuine autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty is reinvigorating public debate and bringing long-suppressed demands back to the forefront.

As the Polisario Front attends the African Union–European Union summit in Angola, internal dissent grows with calls for leader Brahim Ghali to distance from Algeria and engage in U.S.-mediated talks with Morocco. This schism, highlighted by Sahrawi voices like Said Zarwal, underscores emerging factions within the movement seeking a shift from long-standing alliances and strategies.
