.VIRTUALLY HALF A CENTURY have actually passed given that Morocco claimed prepotence over Western Sahara, a slice of land that stretches for 900km along the Atlantic coastline to the country's south.

In 2020 a 29-year ceasefire broke down. On July 30th France called Morocco's plan for Western side Sahara the "just basis" to address the dispute. Algeria withdrew its own emissary to France in feedback.
