Sahrawis in Spain: Historical Rights vs Morocco
The article discusses the Spanish bill that grants Spanish nationality to Sahrawi residents who were born in Western Sahara during the Spanish administration. It explores the potential political and historical impact of this law on Morocco. The text clarifies that the law aims to address a complex legal situation resulting from Spain’s withdrawal from the territory in 1976. During the colonial period, Sahrawis held Spanish documents and legal statuses, but the Spanish courts did not consider all those born in Western Sahara during the colonial era to be original Spaniards. The article questions how threatening this law might be to Morocco, emphasizing that fears it could be exploited to assert legal rights or influence lobbying efforts are not entirely justified. The law is based on a historical connection and documentary evidence. It also notes that Spain has previously granted nationality in exceptional ways to individuals from distant historical backgrounds, justifying that resolving a legal status rooted in the colonial era does not pose an immediate threat to Morocco. Viewing the law as a political tool or as a potential adversary is considered a strategic mistake. Ultimately, the article recommends that Morocco should focus on building a strong civil and media presence in Spain to clarify its position, rather than escalating tensions or resorting to intimidation. It also advocates for a re-examination of the historical memory issue and a rational, balanced approach to the law’s impact.
