Title
Morocco-Algeria Tensions: Royal Archivist Recalls Morocco’s Historical Claims to Eastern Sahara
Abstract
Bahija Simou, the director of Morocco’s Royal Archives, has brought the long-running border dispute between Morocco and Algeria back to the forefront after asserting on that Morocco has documents proving its sovereignty over the so-called mineral-rich “Eastern Sahara” region. By raising this issue now, Morocco may be attempting to pressure France, whose relations with Algeria have deteriorated, into explicitly recognizing Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara.
