O
n 11 December, Morocco became the latest Arab League country to normalize diplomatic relations with Israel, after the UAE, Bahrain, and Sudan. The deal encourages cooperation between Israel and Morocco and upends thirty years of U.S. policy by granting U.S. recognition to Morocco s sovereignty claim over the contested territory of Western Sahara. The decision was made shortly after the first official ceasefire violation in the territory by the Moroccan government in November 2020. Moving forward, the Biden administration has an opportunity to closely monitor Morocco s administration of Western Sahara, with costs imposed for human rights violations.

Academics launch a Letter of Solidarity with Western Sahara, which they invite to sign

Letter of Solidarity with Western Sahara

Decolonization is not only a legal process, but a political struggle, one which has often been waged through the global public sphere. World public opinion, transnational solidarity and global attention have historically been integral to successful decolonization struggles, from Algeria to Palestine. Anticolonial struggles in Western Sahara have lacked international visibility, which solidarity efforts can serve to rectify.
