As a Moroccan, I feel sad that I may not live to see the north african countries deeply united, it's ridiculously stupid that we aren't!
If they kiss Morocco’s feet and apologize
Algerian here feels the same way u do , I never understand why our gov is still meddling in this situation , we are all the same Barber , I wish we all unite and put aside our differences .
@@sandmandzkhalil3618
We have been divided since a long time, like thousands of years haha😅
Even Levant (Syria, Palestine, Leb) have more interconnectedness and history shared..
@@sebtaomilla2961 nobody is asking you to kiss Morocco's feet, keep your mouth and opinion to youself, and despite your nose, north Africa will reunite, your divide and conquer strategy will expire as new generations with objectif opinions are growing
@@SerenityWithin101 I’m Moroccan. And yes, they must kiss our feet for this disgusting betrayal.
Countries such as Algeria and Mauritania will never accept Morocco's position on abiding by the true historical borders, simply because they have none and would stick to the borders inherited from colonialism.. colonialism is the reason why there are so many new born countries in Africa
You do realize that those "true historical borders" were also founded on the basis of colonialism or conquest? It's not like there was a point in time when suddenly a bunch of states popped up into existence with their borders. History started with the formation of city states which then consolidated into proper states which then expanded as well, whether that be through war or other means. All these squabbles about borders based on history is completely idiotic. UN borders should be followed and with potential changes only happening peacefully. World history has brought us to the current existing borders of the world, there is no good objective reason to start conflicts to change them.
@@anonymous1582 How far are you willing to take that logic? Is Morocco not allowed to take back the lands taken from it illegally? Did colonial powers hold a referendum before deviding up the empire? As long as the sharifian crown exists Morocco will always try to retrieve its former territories, trust me.
@@csx3180 the moroccan claim over west sahara is as ridiculous as the israeli on Palestinian lands both claim are only reliant on some ancient boundaries over an ancient kingdom that existed hundreds of years ago without paying an ounce of attention over what do the people that actually live there want. Thousands of kingdoms rose and fell over the course of time do these kingdoms also have a claim now? Like do lebanon have claim over Tunisia and parts of italy since both were a part of the phoenician emipre some thousands of years ago? do egypt have a claim over north sudan that was a part of the Egyptian empire? Does Turkey still still have a claim over the majority of the middle east? What about iran iraq syria all have claims over each other too the assyrian persian and islamic empires? What about india and Bangladesh india and Pakistan india and nepal india and china china and Taiwan china and Vietnam Vietnam and laos and more and more should they all have the right to attack and colonise each other because an empire that rose hundred of years ago on their land did the same thing?
@@anonymous1582 Exactly , they think that theres no international law and they try to be like israel so bad but they fail lol , i dare them to try to do the same to Algeria , they attacked the Sahrawis only cuz theyre nomads and they wanted to occupy Mauritania too but they didint do it cuz Mauritania established good relationships with France
@@samael4759
Unlike Israel Moroccans didn't leave western sahara for 3000 years then came back to ask for it now, it was literally a part of morocco when spain colonized it, it's not like morocco is asking for territories that were under the moroccan crown a millenea ago, which includ the southern half of spain and portugal + algeria, tunisia, and libya..now if morocco asked for that then THAT would be ridiculous, but asking for territories that were stolen from you just a coupla generations ago isn't.
Thank you Geo History. Western Saharan full history is largely sidelined despite being an unusually large territory for a region with unclear status.
Western Sahara is in South west of Algeria.
Sahar is Moroccan. I live here, whoever says otherwise come for a visit.

Objective??.. dude turns Moroccans into colonisators, everything is turned backwards.. claim attacked Guergarat is just a lie, international court has ruled against Morocco another lie, Polisario being Sahrawis while they have mercenary elements mainly Algerians and acting as algeria Proxy not even mentioned

Trivia: Morocco is both the world's 2nd oldest Monarchy (founded 788 AD) and 2nd oldest dynasty (the alaouites/alawi) , the 1st is japan
And then ?
@@Nostalgiabytes it's just a fun fact, you're welcome
nonsense, 788 AD is the date of establishing the idrisid dynasty which ended in 974,it has nothing to do with today's dynasty
all countries has Old kingdom that collapsed or got succesed by other dynasties
@@soheibkidouche4745 So the UK was established in 1901? Because that's when the current dynasty rose to power? Morocco had 12 centuries of continuous dynastic rule, after the idrissids in the late 10th century the country fell into civil war till the almoravid dynasty rose to power in the early 11th century, the almohad dynasty in the 12th, the marinids in the 14th followed by the idrissids again for a short interlude period, then the saadians in the 16th and the current alaouites in the 17th...same system of government, same system of rule, same country, same name, just look at the list of moroccan ambassadors to the UK, some ambassadors didn't even change when the dynasty changed, because it's the same country.
788 ad is the date historians agree on for the creation of the Moroccan state.

@@Ballondorak Moroccan, I live here, come see the flags
Great video, although I disagree with some points, mainly :
- A not so great part of the population fled to Tindouf, some who came back stated that they've been forced to go there, and that a sizeable part of the "refugees" aren't even from the Sahara, a proof of that is the constant refusal for a census of the population of Tindouf refugee camps. That 173k figure was never proven by a third party.
- in 2020, Moroccan forces intervened to restore civilian movement that has been blocked for nearly two months by Polisario Militias.
- the algerians truckers killed in 2022 have never been identified (to my knowledge), no proof of them being inside Mauretanian territory has been provided, so, mystery truckers carrying mystery loads inside a contested zone have been shot down by mystery drones...
All said, great video and great effort, thanks for everything.
it was proven by the U.N brother
@@yvngxclaude you must support ur claim by sources... brother
@@yvngxclaude as I said, to my knowledge, please do elaborate.
@@yvngxclaude claims without source are useless
Also, you’re not a refugee if you’re welcome to return as a full citizen at any point in time, they are hostages, because Morocco allows anyone to safely return and even gives them housing and financial support to start a new life.
Great video! (as always!). I've always found this conflict and region to be intriguing, and you don't see this being commonly talked about this in depth!
This video is very questionably wrong !!!
13:39 It was the Algerian Polizario who closed the road threatening anyone who passes, they burnt old cars to block the road, and ruined the infrastructure, UN then intervened alongside Morocco, because the situation has transformed into an alarming terrorist behavior towards people using the road. So you are wrong !!
15:00 the truckers killed were not Algerians, they were Polizario members going into the Mauritanian land trying to be a constant nuisance to both Mauritania and Morocco's security
14:22 Spain apologized for the mistake of letting in Ghali illegally into the country, since he is considered a wanted criminal, so Spain was in a mess with the UN and Morocco for a while.
16:37 Wrong use of the word refugees. There are no refugees in Tindouf. Tindouf is an Algerian city, and since it's close to the borders with sub-Saharan countries, it is composed of a population of multiple nationalities living in inhumane conditions as the UN states, although Algeria gets hundreds of millions of dollars from aid.
Just where did you get your information from ?
I can go on and on about the inaccurate lies you have told in this video.
@@ygr4943 thanks for the insight! Personally im not sure where he got the information from, but thanks again!
Look up Guanche gen0cide.
@@ygr4943could u put those information as a comment cause a lot of ppl took false information from the video
It seems that the author of the documentary had a good vacation in Marrakesh haha 🙄 Knowing that there are 3 Algerian, Moroccan and Mauritanian novels, and 3 historical maps for each country. Regarding support and betrayal, it is enough for you to go back a little to see who is the greatest traitor and how the Sultan of Fez allied with the French. Militarily, after he was threatened by the French to fight and chase Prince Abdul Qadir and his force on the western border, to use pincers on him, knowing that there is a close relationship between them.
This is the best video on this topic. Period.

They say there is a conflict but I see no conflict. When I go to the "western sahara" it is all calm and peaceful and built and administered just like the rest of Morocco.
Just like when I visit Tel Aviv, it is absolutely beautifully administered by Israel and not its original settlers which have been cornered up and segregated by a long and militarized wall.

@@alfrredd well, from a historical point of view the majority of the territory was Moroccan for a very long time.
Good job. The broader historical context at the beginning was good too showing the ancient traders, Spain, and the other empires. That was a major improvement from the Vietnam Video. You always have great visuals and concise (but not too short) explanations. I have so many ideas for future videos if you are interested. Just to name a few, Alexander the Great, History of China (2 videos: Early Dynastic to 1912 and 1912 to present), Holy Roman Empire, and so many more! Thank you for all that you do! I appreciate all your videos and rewatch often.
I have been wondering why my map shows this this weird border for so long. Thank you for covering this!
If you traveled back in time a few centuries, you would discover that this entire land was once united under the Moroccan Empire, whose rulers were the Almoravids or Almohads, and Alauite the ancestors of today's monarch

amazing video!!
the background is also fire hahaha
I don't get why Morocco doesn't just continue to build walls further and further into the territory until they reach the borders of Mauritania. The walls seem to be doing a good job in keeping the SADR out of the territory they control.
They want to stick to lawful resolutions instead of forcing it and breaking up a war, Morocco has build so much, it doesn’t want to lose it by being impatient.
The conflict will be over, the end of this nonsense is near.
They are very expensive and at this point drones are doing a much better job… Maybe not mentioned in the map, but the blue territory is actually is no man land as it was designed
Yes even tindouf and bechar
Building those walls weren't so easy as to simply "building walls" those territories had to be cleared and fought for first, and the conflict has moved far beyond armed battles, it turned diplomatic, which is in Morocco's favor
It will cause war, that what the generals want... Morocco relies on services, agriculture and industry, we need to attract more foreign investors, we can't provide such a safe environment while having a war with a country next door.

As an algerian
I really do wich that my country did not interfere in this conflict at all, i also think that this conflict would not have even been a thing if the algerian government just focused on protecting our boarders and let Morocco solve the problem by itself
Would you like The international community to not interfere in the great liberation war of Algeria? The algerian position is clear the application of international law. And the refugee camp are in Tindouf only bc Algeria is the only country that did not attack Western Sahara. So when did we interfere?
@@nazimm4475 There is nothing in common between 'Liberation' and blatant cutting of other peoples' lands. The video itself clearly explains that Morocco helped Algeria gain independance from France as part of a deal for Morocco to reclaim parts of its historical self, only for Algeria to fail to uphold its end of the deal to return the lands to Morocco. That's what we call theft.
@nazimm4475 Moroccan 40 millions population will never accept to give half of its territory to 200 thousand angry people..
Their ancestors were always Moroccans, and yes our government did not treat them well in the last century, but that doesn't give them legitimate right to get the land separated from motherland.
Honey we stand with liberation movements at any place and any time it us our policy. Morocco is an expansionist entity the land never belonged to them
Plus they are allies with the zionists this is itself is dangerous
This is excellent work
Thank you channel for sharing interesting and interesting historical information
Very detailed and interesting material. Thank you. That's really interesting since Western Sahara is our closest neighbour (I write from Canary Islands) and I think the Western Sahara finally must be an autonomy and an integral part of Morocco.

for you the story begins in 1975. well before the arrival of the colonialists, the borders of Morocco went as far as Senegal. But France and Spain decided otherwise and cut the map of the region. Consequently, Morocco finds itself deprived of several regions annexed today to Algeria and Mauritania.
so basically morroco is demanding their land just like israel is doing based on a 4000k years ago right?

All the indigenous tribes in here recognize that the sahara is Moroccan and always has been.
The ones claiming it's not, aren't even Moroccan and live in Algeria coming from sub-saharan countries (the irony).
Babe, wake up! A new GeoHistory video just dropped.
There is only one solution to close the sahara case which is come back the mother land Morocco .
As a Moroccan, I'm pretty impressed on how accurate this video is.
No there were a few mistakes, some of them are even flagrant tbh..
no this video does not do justice to the cause even the way he handled the spanish and frensh occupation as though it was just peaceful and no blood shed and continues to call the sahara the spanish sahara as if they have any rights to it
In comparison to what I've seen, yea, it's pretty damn accurate.
Very good video to introduce people to this rather unknown conflict. However, I note a few flaws, some quite important to understand the context :
1) The reason Morocco refused the referendum in 1974 is because Spain refused to take into account the sahrawis fighters (and their family) that fought for Morocco in the Ifni War of 1958, and that have fled to northern Morocco during the Moroccan retreat. To this day, the question of "who should be allowed to vote" is the reason the referendum doesn't take place, because none of the parties can come to an understanding.
2) In the 2020 crisis of Guerguerat, it was the Polisario Front that violated the 1991 cease fire agreement. They blocked the road between Morocco and Mauritania with armed fighters, and it is forbidden for both Moroccan and Polisario soldiers to be armed within 5 kilometers of the sand wall. Morocco actually waited for 3 weeks for UN authorization to kick out the Polisario forces, so it is just wrong to blame this one one Morocco.
Otherwise, very interesting video for those who wish to introduce themselves to this conflict.
👌👌
But you did not mention that morocco insulted and killed a lot of innocent civilians women and children and morocco still do the same thing till now in laayoune dakhla etc tell the truth from all points of view not only the moroccan pov
@@omarramox40 not true at all
Show me a shred of evidence of this ? During the war, bombings may have resulted in a few casualties (way less than other wars), but there is absolutely no basis for your claims. @@omarramox40
Do you have any proof or source for these accusations?
Nice
I'm from Morocco and didn't knew all these details thanks
Whole 17 minutes of data on the Western Sahara very impressive.
4:00 was these land on which sand war happened?
Yes
very good work! I am moroccan and just now I have the complete picture.

ركز على شيئين :
- مساعدة المغرب للجزائر لنيل الاستقلال .
- خيانة الجزائر للمغرب و التنكر للإتفاق الموقع بينهما بعد الاستقلال.

كم من مغربي مات من اجل تندوف؟
@@carrillotony4872 لم أفهم سؤالك ، هل تقصد كم من مغربي استشهد دفاعا عن الجزائر و استقلالها ؟ هناك العديد من المغاربة و التونسيين استشهدوا دفاعا عن الجزائر و يمكنك التأكد من ذلك اذا زرت مقام الشهيد .
تحياتي
أولا : محمد الخامس رحمه الله ساعد الجزائر.
ثانيا : هناك خيانة مروكية للأمير عبد القادر و أخرى إبان الثورة.
ثالثا : المروك و تونس نالتا إستقلالهما بفضل الجزائر. 👌
رابعا : الجزائر نالت إستقلالها عن طريق مليون و نصف مليون من الشهداء.
خامسا : أعطيني وثيقة واحدة تبدل على أنه كان هناك إتفاق مرسوم لتقسيم الحدود بين البلدين أو أن الجزائر ستتنازل عن شبر من صحراءه التي استعادتها بدماء الشهداء و ليس هدية من فرنسا مثل المروك و تونس.
سادسا : تاريخيا مدينة وجدة و بركان و الشمال الشرقي للمروك حتى نهر ملوية جزائري.
سابعا : المروك هو المتسبب في حرب الرمال و ذلك باستلاءه على أراضي جزائرية ظنا منه أن الجزائر في حالة ضعف بسبب خروجها من الحرب و حداثة إستقلالها. و هذا غدر لكن هيهات فالجزاءر المحروسة ردت الصاع صاعين و لم تفرط في شبر واحد بل و تغلغلت في العمق المروكي بشهادة المقبور الحسن الثاني لولا تدخل العقلاء.
@@MohamedBechairia اولا : محمد الخامس ساعد الجزائر غصبا عنك لن تستطيع انكار هذا .
ثانيا : كيف للمغرب أن يخون شخصا هو نفسه خادم لفرنسا و الذليل عشرات الاوسمة الفرنسية التي قلدته بها .
ثالثا : كلامك حول استقلال المغرب و تونس وفضل الجزائر عليهما كلام مضحك 😁
الجزائر آخر بلد خرجت منه فرنسا ..
رابعا : شعارات فارغة أكل عليها الدهر و شرب ، فرنسا خرجت من الجزائر بعد استفتاء شعبي و بعد أن ضمنت ان تكون الحكومة الجزائري تخدم مصالح فرنسا ( استمع لخطاب شارل دي كول حول الجزائر ) لحد الساعة الجزائر لم تستطع انتزاع وثيقة الاستقلال من الأمم المتحدة .
خامسا : ليست قضية وثائق هنا بل هي قضية شرف ، محمد الخامس لم يقبل عرض فرنسا كما جاء في الفيديو وقال أن مسألة الصحراء الشرقية مسألة بين اخوين سوف تحل فور خروج فرنسا من الجزائر .
سادسا : في حرب الرمال استعنتم بجميع الأجناس وأكلتم ما أكل الطبل في يوم عرس ، حتى قال بوخروبة هواري منار اقصد هواري بومدين ماعنديش الرجال و قوله حكرونا المغاربة حكرونا ، و ثم أسر حسني مبارك الرئيس المصري السابق ....ولولا تدخل الحكماء كما قلت ما كنا لنسمع لكم حس...
@@elsamir8060
كل التفاهات التي قلتها لن أتطرق لها ... فقط أريد التعقيب على نقطة واحدة في قولك أن بومدين قال ماعنديش رجال هههه أعطني دليل وثيقة أو فيديو واحد فقط و سأرفع لك القبعة . أما بخصوص قوله حكرونا المغاربة فأولا أنت كاذب لأن من قالها هو بن بلة و ليس بومدين و هذا دليل على كذبك و تحب نجيبلك الفيديو كاين و ثانيا ماقالش حكرونا المغاربة قال حكرونا إخواني و ثالثا قوله حكرونا أي معناها ظلمونا أو غدرونا عندنا ما فهمتش كيفاش فهمتها نتا و هذا صحيح لأننا كنا حديثي العهد بالإستقلال و كنا نرتب صفوفنا و نبني جيشنا و إنتم غدرتم بنا لكن مع ذلك استرجعنا أراضينا منكم خلال ساعات و قتلنا العشرات و تغلغلنا وسط أراضيكم ... و لو أخذت شبرا واحدا تقدر تقول انك منتصر.
و إذا كنتم رجال حقا استرجعو مدينتي سبتة و مليلية و عشرات الجزر التي هي في أرضكم بل و في قارة أخرى حتى ... يا سيدي استرجعو فقط الروشي ههههه 👌🇩🇿🇪🇭🇵🇸✊
We call it Moroccan Sahara not western
The information cited in the video is generally accurate, except for one very important detail: at the minute 13:30, big thing happend, "In late October 2020, truck drivers and truckers complained that activists from the Polisario Front were blocking the border between Morocco and Mauritania, obstructing traffic and prohibiting the passage of any vehicle with Moroccan registration or displaying a Moroccan flag. It should be noted that this was also in violation of international regulations (videos are still available on CZcams). As a result, the Moroccan military launched a military operation in the buffer zone of Guerguerat, citing "Polisario provocations" in order to restore traffic. The following day, the government of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic announced the end of the ceasefire and declared war on Morocco."
The truth is that the Sahrawi people live in Tindouf, which is located in Algeria, and their flag is raised only in Algeria. This means that their real country is Algeria, but in the Moroccan Sahara there is nothing but the Moroccan flag and the Moroccan people!
انتم قمتم باحتلال ارضهم كما فعلت إسرائيل مع فلسطين
that's called colonisation, no wonder why you recognise and work with Israel.
@@omar107oold Moroccan maps prove otherwise. We don’t recognize the map split into 2 by actual colonizers like every other colonized country.
@@MohMoh-ii8qu اوا الله ينزل عليك غضب الله، قول ليا واش كانت شي دويلة قبل الاستعمار او حتى بعده بسنوات اسمها الجمهورية الصحراوية ؟ الصحراء كانت منتمية للمغرب منذ قرون، و الصحراويين مغاربة و كايحملو الراية و ماباغيينش الانفصال، علاش ينفاصلو و هما من ديما كانو كاينتاميو للمملكة ؟
البوليخاريو هي اللي خاص تتقارنها باسرائيل و ليس العكس، لان جمهورية الخيام هي اللي نشأت منذ سنوات و تريد احتلال صحراء المغرب للاستفادة من خيراتها و من خيرات المحيط الاطلسي. منافقين تعترفون بشناعة اخرائيل و تتعاطفون مع اشباه رجال البوليخاريو الذين اغتصبوا ا النساء الاسيرات في الخيام.
واخا قول ليا حاجة، بصفتك جزائري، هل كانت القبايل منتمية لدولة اسمها الخسائر قبل الاستعمار حتى تنتمي لها الان ؟ هنا الفرق.
القبايل هدية من الاستعمار، اصلا الجزائر كدولة مستقلة اسسها الاستعمار، و بالاضافة للقبايل، اهدى لها تلمسان و مغنية المغربيتين من الغرب و اهدى ليها مدن كانت من قبل تابعة للجمهورية التونسية مثل عنابة و قسنطينة و جالسين كاتهضرو على الصحراء هههههه، عاشت جمهورية القبايل حرة، على عكس الصحراويين المغاربة، فالقبايليين اغلبهم يريدون الانفصال و لديهم عسكر خاص بهم، موارد المنطقة ككل من مجهودات سكانها فقط و لديهم قائد يريد الانفصال كذلك، يعني هي اولى بالاستقلال !!!! بل حتى ان رئيسهم طلب العون و الدعم من المغرب، لكن المملكة المغربية ترفض فكرة التدخل في شؤون الدول الاخرى عكس دولة الخسائر جارة السوء، الله لا يسامحكم.😊

THE WESTERN SAHARA IS RIGHTFULLY ALBANIAN 🇦🇱🦅💪
Jajaja No , it's Morocian
Lmfao
Sorry, it's historical Russian lands. Russians and West Africans always were brotherly nations. Sorry, I mean one nation - Russians.
That’s understandable
No it is Algerian
it was all good until 13:30 the road of gargarat which represents the link between morocco and muritania was cutted by Polisario forces then Moroccan military came in but instead you stated it like if morocco wasn't linked with muritania before
can you share the references please ? specially the one about the Alawi dynasty ?
Correction : at 13:31 Polizario militants bloked the road for several days and stopped trucks carring goods from crossing to Mauritania. After Morocco had tried in vain all diplomatic efforts to open the crossing, its forces had to intervene to kick out the militans and secure the safe corissing of people and goods.
The first event to weaken Morocco after its division between France and Spain was the annexation of Moroccan lands to Algeria in 1938, as indicated in the video. Algeria reneged on its agreements with Morocco in 1961. The Polisario was formed by Spain before its departure in 1973, and the goal is clear: to leave An exhausted Morocco without resources and preoccupied with conflicts. Otherwise, it will be a strong Morocco and a competitor to Europe, which is what the Western powers do not want.
When you agreed to their independence and protection from France, why did you not request those lands in your independence document?Algeria resisted for 7 years to take these lands and sacrificed millions of martyrs. It is our land and no one’s.
@@laouniaouni8428Funny joke
Morocco rejected France’s offer to take the Sahara in exchange for conducting nuclear tests there, sharing its underground resources, and using it as a French base to plunder Africa, which is what Algeria agreed to in the Evian Agreement, after seven years of Moroccan-Tunisian support for the Algerian resistance. Without this support, Algeria would not have gained independence.
In conclusion, there is no "Western Sahara." Never was. Never will be. It's just the historically, ancestrally, genetically, authentically, and inextricably Moroccan part of the Sahara. Moroccans are still having to deal with the draconian Western European colonial policies imposed on its country half a century later.
Great work! Thank u
