Sputnik recently spoke with Omeima Abdeslam, the Polisario Front representative to Switzerland, about how US President Donald Trump’s declaration could impact the territory and Polisario’s struggle against occupying Moroccan forces that resumed last month after a 29-year period of peace.
Earlier this month, the Trump administration engineered the normalization of relations between Israel and yet another Arab state: Morocco. As a quid pro quo for this move, Trump issued a declaration recognizing Morocco’s claims to sovereignty over Western Sahara, a non-self-governing territory it has claimed since 1975.
