Orange Morocco drops Western Sahara map from Spanish route
The article focused on Orange Morocco's action to remove an advertisement billboard on a Spanish road after a map appeared that integrated Western Sahara into Moroccan territory. This followed a complaint from the Polisario Front, which argued that using the map reinforces the Moroccan narrative regarding the legal status of Western Sahara, despite the United Nations considering it a non-autonomous territory and a decolonization issue still unresolved. The company states that the campaign has no connection to "Mass Orange," but the map sparked criticism due to its alleged discrimination between Morocco and Western Sahara, highlighting an attempt to impose a visual and media-based fait accompli. The article notes that the advertisement does not alter the legal situation and emphasizes that commercial advertising does not grant legitimacy to occupation. It also mentions that this is not the first time Orange has faced criticism over its portrayal of Western Sahara.
