With regard to this revert:

The so-called Algerian media mentioned in the article is not Algerian at all: 1) The website "Algeria Times" was set-up in 2009 in France by two Algerians (a journalist and a webmaster). In 2010, the journalist and co-founder announced that the webmaster had sold the site to Moroccan parties established in the US who have a relationship with the Moroccan intelligence services, and that all Algerians who work there had been fired (making the website 100% Moroccan, used for a propaganda campaign against the Polisario and Algeria).^[1] 2) All the photos published by the website[1] and presented as secret have been taken from a blog[2] published in 2012 about the Polisario conducting military exercises (in front of onlookers) and experimenting with tunnels similar to those used by the Lebanese Hezbollah during the July 2006 war.
The accusations made by Moroccan officials that the Polisario Front is a terrorist organization tied to Al-Qaeda are baseless and unsubstantiated.^[2]^[3]^[4]
As for the latest allegations, Morocco is yet to provide a shred of evidence to support them. The real motives for the decision to sever ties with Iran are open for debate.^[5]

you've brought an algerian source that claims that algeriatimes is not an algerian news website, sorry don't think there is anyone who trusts "echourouk"L. if you think algeriatimes is not algerian, it is your own problem. --History21st (talk) 02:30, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Americas Role

What role has the United States of America played in the ongoing conflict between Morocco and Western Sahara ? Morocco and the United States have a long and diplomatic historyMorocco%E2%80%93United_States_relations. Does the United States currently recognize Western Sahara as an independent state? Does the UN ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Samnoling (talk • contribs) 04:44, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

December 2022

With regard to this revert: 1) baseless claims don't belong anywhere in the article, let alone in the infobox (meant for key facts). 2) Spain is placed first because the conflict between Spain and the Sahrawi started during the time when Western Sahara was known as Spanish Sahara. The involvement of Morocco and Mauritania came later. M.Bitton (talk) 13:34, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
