Morocco's Sahara Strategy
The article argues that Morocco is seeking to turn what it describes as Algerian and Polisario “adventures” into opportunities to shift the balance of power. It cites the intervention of the Royal Armed Forces on November 13, 2020, to reopen and secure the Guerguerat crossing after the Polisario had sought to disrupt it. By the same token, the article says Russia’s veto of the US draft resolution at the Security Council does not necessarily represent a lasting gain for Morocco’s adversaries: 11 members supported the draft, while the alternative Russian draft received no more than three votes, and MINURSO’s mandate expired without a new resolution extending it being adopted. The article says Rabat is seeking to capitalize on this development to change how the UN handles the issue and move from managing the conflict to settling it, with the autonomy initiative as its central reference point and with the benefit of growing international support for it.
