Algeria Struggles Over Western Sahara

Algeria faces increasing pressure as the UK, US, and France support Morocco’s plan to grant Western Sahara limited self-rule under Moroccan control. The shift weakens Algeria’s longstanding backing of the Polisario Front and its call for independence. Analysts note that Morocco’s expanding ties with Israel and the UAE intensify regional pressure. Algerian officials maintain a hard-line stance domestically, signaling continued commitment to their previous position despite international trends.
