Spain's Changing Stance on Sahrawi
The article discusses the escalation of relations between Morocco and Spain, with a particular focus on a new Spanish law granting citizenship to thousands of residents of Western Sahara who have been there since before 1977. This law is based on their rights to citizenship stemming from their origins during the Spanish administration, and it is estimated that over 70,000 people could benefit. This legislation reflects Spain's attempt to produce a new perception of the existence of a Sahrawi community separate from Morocco, raising questions about the reshaping of the historical concept of the "Sahrawi people" and their role in identity. This is especially significant given that the political and social history of the Sahara demonstrates extensive ties with Moroccan society. The context for this development is also influenced by how the crisis in Ceuta is being exploited by Spanish political currents—an approach characterized by ignoring the historical narrative and driven instead by political and strategic calculations.
