  • Spanish here, and not really versed on the matter, but I’ll share what I heard. It borderlines conspiracy theories so take it with a stone of salt.

    Basically it was part of Spain, with the civil war and following years it was considered a hassle and left abandoned, despite saharauis can get Spanish nationality. During decolonization the UN said that spain should decolonise it and help to stablish an autonomous government. Spain did nothing because it stopped recognising the territory as their own. Therefore it becomes no body’s land. Morroco has interest on that area and saharauis has interest on being independants. Spain doesn’t care and just use it for politics with Morroco.

    The far left say say that saharauis should be protected, but the rest doesn’t really care and sometimes it is used as a political leverage with Morroco. There are even conspiracies theories that the king Juan Carlos was a CIA agent or at least sympatizer and has helped on maintain the ignore policy on west Sahara issue among other policies with north africa.

    It’s like palestina in the sense that is being colonized and abused by Morroco.

    In the last year’s Morroco has become an strategy ally to nato and Spain has moved further apart from Sahara to improve nato relationship with Morroco. In the last year’s I belive USA has made accords to open military bases on Morroco, sell fighter planes and integrate it with NATO. Even more since in the recent times africa has become a theater for china’s and Rusia private military corps, and has been several coup d’tat in center and north africa states that has forced European and nato armies to retreat from that territory.

    To sum up. UN sais it’s a Spanish colony. Spain sais it is not their territory. Morroco sais it’s rightfully theirs. Polisarian front sais it’s an independant land.
