morocco and western sahara and separatists go to war. the policy front says robot has invaded a buffer zone, or rocco says the front is blocking trade to mauritania. so is this the end of the cease fire in western sahara? this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program. a 30 year old ceasefire is over in the disputed

territory of western sahara. that's according to the pro independence pala sario front. it says moroccan troops have launched an attack in the region. morocco's military says it's only set up a security caught on after elements of the policy front block traffic on the only road linking it to mauritania and the rest of africa. and a moment will bring in our panel to discuss this further. but 1st, this report from laura burden money, a conflict frozen for 3 decades, but never resolved. now a fragile truce in the western sahara between morocco and a pro independence group is under threat. the policies are a front has been fighting for an independent states in western sahara, an area wedged between mauritania to the south, america to the north, with a population of around half a 1000000 people. but morocco also claims this vast stretch of desert robot accuses polisario front of blocking

a main highway. that's preventing the flow of goods between mauritania and morocco . but the policy sario front accuses morocco of carrying out attacks against its people, and of igniting war. has publicly officially the fact of launching an armed attack or demonstrating peacefully in blatant violation is fire that has led to the results of those duties between the moronic forces and the forces brokers government held in the mergence the meeting to address the situation. this road is important when it comes to the movement of civilians and goods. and because such actions were a violation of the u.n. sponsored cease fire agreement, morocco, in order to fulfill its duties,

ordered its military forces to intervene and build a sand barrier to protect the area from any future breaches. negotiations between morocco, the policy area and mauritania, have remained suspended the several months the u.n. is calling for restraint. the secretary general remains committed to doing his utmost to avoid the collapse of the cease fire that has been in place since 6 september 1991. and he is determined to do everything possible to remove all obstacles, to the resumption of the political process, the 2 sides of battle for control of the region since 1975, when spain pulled out of the area, broccoli took control, but an armed rebellion led to a war that continued until 1991, when the un broke an armistice. but it's a complex that's left tens of thousands of people displaced from their homes. many of the sarai refugees have been living for decades in vast, sprawling camps a long,

arduous border with morocco. the conditions are harsh and they continue to rely on humanitarian assistance to survive. but the political impasse continues, and it's unlikely these people return to their homes anytime soon. lure a better man the al jazeera. so the policy front is a liberation movement made up of ethnics are always they want to drive morocco out of western sahara. its members say the former spanish colony is their homeland. they've pushed for independence for decades. morocco claims this desert as its own . the 2 sides fought over the territory for 16 years before agreeing to a un backed cease fire. in 191, today more than 2 thirds of the region is controlled by morocco. a planned referendum on its status has not taken place. neighboring algeria and mauritania have called on both sides to show restraint. argyria is the main supporter of the

policy front. a many refugees from the region live that let's bring in our guests from valencia is city. omar, representative of the policy front of the united nations in new york from casablanca is yasmin, has now a north africa specialist, and board member of the institute of saharan studies under loose from lisbon is ricardo fabiani project director covering north africa at the international crisis group. thanks to you all for joining us, ricardo, or begin with you if i may just help us understand why algeria is so important to all of this, it's the main support of the policy front. why and how much influence does algeria have over? what happens next? well g. area is undoubtedly i would say a key piece of this complicated puzzle 1st of all because we're talking about one

of the largest countries in the region. and obviously one of. 'd marcus' most important neighbors. so even just by geographical terms, we're talking about a very important factor in this area. but most importantly, argyria has opposed markers, an exception of the western sahara territory, since 1975, and has supported hosted and financed the parties are a front as well as hosting a large section of the refugee population. indeed area. so in the refugee camps of their intended of. so algeria is effectively the main backer of the police area front since mid seventy's and has enormous influence over what the police are your front does and is likely to do, i would say, even in the next few days, what a jury decides to do has enormous influence on the police area,

and obviously morocco is looking at algeria in this situation to hoping that they will do something to month in the situation to keep the situation under control. so yasmeen is this, then something that morocco must try and resolve. 'd with algeria not with the policies are, you know, from this is to do with morocco and algeria as it well actually a, the, what happens now is a low just like me, you know, course, it's the algeria who is the, you know, the, the police are in france, they are responsible of their, you know, the women, the elderly and the children in the end of areas. and they're responsible of the dire condition that they live, that they live any. jerry are, is the main backer of the rust. and it was cited in several times since 2007 was cited in algeria was said to several times that the united nations security council that they should step up to the plate and, and,

and not say that they are only an observer to this, to be set, artificial come to this conflict to the artificial complex, but the other may have to step up to the plate and find a solution with maracle. it's not live, we go back to history. yes, i agree with that. what the previous speaker told me, he said that morocco, algeria was against miracles, reintegration, to moroccan, western sahara in 1975. and that started with whoever get it started with that the send war and broke from beef and then get implemented this ideology through the national popular army. and when it went on and did not. so who was who was responsible? yes. but also the, the rest who should really be again the, should i recognize that, that what happens now goes within the international legitimacy,

is that now we see that the u.n. security council, recall her a political were in, for a political solution pressure magic which go in line with the proposal of the autonomy. ok, so all main, how much influence does it have all of whether the ceasefire a whole on what the policy front does next one. thank you very much for the question, but before i proceed, i like to clarify one of the least special is on wishless a heart or a lever on jiri or because i have been invited to talk about response to hark. as representative of the printed bodies or to the not nations in new york. it is our us. yes, it's bush, it is argyria. now you have to call upon someone from r.g.p. aren't, will not proceed on the understanding that this is

a bar argyria or more are no sarcasm, it's a must. but what western sahara are, and that's nice you that i can gauge anybody. no, sir, this isn't this, this, this is a bound western sahara us geria does have influence over the policy front, but i'd like you to tell me what the front believes they're not on the sorrow from believe is the next step. what's going to happen at all, what this is not a wise way to start discussion with our all new stars and start our own assumption would surely need we need to engage. so i'm really sorry when i call casey, aren't i on the rightly or potus, anybody's behalf, except yes, we're speaking only on speaking only on behalf of the policy front. what do you believe is going to happen next with the ceasefire? this i would only bring him out if we would just leave phrase the whole beginning

in this session because it has been really framed within the context where we just had to give some background to how the relationship between morocco and algeria which matters. but certainly i'm happy to only accept your speaking on behalf of the palace, ari or for that question. that's a 2nd record horoscope are ok. other context, norah has been out as that of and you're right on top. so it worked out respect. tell me this, then why, why ok tell me this. let me ask you this question. instead, why has the promise ario from supporters decided to to block the main road linking the western sahara to mauritania? what was the motivation for blocking that roads are very simple. maurice been occupying our sorrow for decades. that's already mines when a juror simply 19799080. these are generous and

resolutions that defy a lot of promises and muscles are as an occupying power. and what happened was after 30 years of waiting for a referendum that you not nations up in operated along with the african organisations, are not our people to exercise their internationally recognized right to the nation and accepted by moroccan south. that reference was not being help, mainly because morocco has brought, you know, obviously the outcome are that vote that, you know, as a sign of progress against moroccans continued occupation of large part was the heart of the house means went to the southern western part wasn't started to protest a route that goes from being hit by part of course our into

a buffer state and then ok liberated. that, of course, are in real terms. what happens actually is that more often come not happens on k. . and if it were not like a pirate, not part of missiles are, and they were not what they wanted with that route is to grab more laps that oklahoma city does not want tomorrow or has an irishman says i am against which are civilians have protests gotten our city, just before i ask yasmin to comment on that, i will say the last month the un security council passed a resolution calling for realistic, practical, and joining solution based on compromise. so city, do you think the un is sort of trying to push you away from the referendum idea and instead take what morocco was offered, which is this autonomy within the state of morocco? is that now not just a much more realistic and practical solution to this conflict. this friendly

council resolution the notice 12584 has more than one. just simply operative paragraph. what you have just suddenly is operative paragraph 2, but there's also a part of the paradox for the mall, which calls for it peaceful mosque solution which provides for the stoppage in the nation. the people were ceasar, which means 3 main facts recognition by the security council. when people quote people who questions are as a political reality. recognition of horses are as a territory separate from or all over which is not right. mizen suffered it. and thirdly, that any solution to be lasting, peaceful it must provide for result in a nation of people who are local is the language of a super league of that's for realistic oclock, to gamble and saw for in just saying that what is realistic most in the idea

of the beholder. yes, morocco spent billions of dollars in this region over the last decade has still not managed to win the hearts and minds of the sox. why has it failed? well, i actually didn't mean just, i need to briefly, kate slate. what it was said recently, where it was stated that you were a quick look, a buyer. that was no, not so chill were occupying, occupying an international law. the challenges of winning over hearts and minds was not that we have because we have to talk about international law. so we need of next word i have to correct that there is no word called occupation occupation, but one has to be to be un doc. and secondly, to explain that there had problems just the viewer into the context. so at the end, what happened to that edge, whether it is that,

is that the outcome of the previews and parents, you know, un united nations security council resolution, which called poor and you know, pragmatic solution to the 2 of them are often weapons that have a calming the illusion which is based on compromise, go in line with morocco's kind of autonomy. so what happened is that the police are you would have a grudge or you were not happy about the outcome of the recent reason. listen, there was no listen, the lobby did when what done it was like the it when then she went to europe and the m. r. u b. b, then were sent out of the scene during the pandemic. this crisis went to block the, it didn't act that much, and the and commercial person broke this year, maybe 5 of the international community. and then in the mind of all the former un security council, now the development, the demo that is happening in the tell me pharmacist when i have to say that 73

percent, that's how we're publishing believe in the province. they all enjoyed it. all of it got all part of the most, many of them are part of these and i are present in the, in the part and there may be more than and what good are in the found program. his goal for the benefit to have people, pollution problems in america was get them off, i think as the united nations would have with would have to face. now when it know about when the heart yet there of what is when it started, i have to finish to answer your question, more of what is winning the hearts of the international communities. 85 percent of the u.n. member states, not the big indoor, the morocco's proposal. because we see that this is the only alternative to call that, that, that company ensures 45 years. let's remember that if a child was born in him as 1975,

he's not worth the 5 years old. he doesn't have and you go to the other provinces and see the real change. ok so all right, i mean they are important to clarify this. thank you ricardo. there's not been a u.n. envoy to the region since may 29th. he has the, you know, if you take united nations, taken its eye off the ball head on. this is why we are where we off today. i mean, we can definitely say that there has been a degree of neglect by the international community of is there not necessarily the saying that the u.n. is responsible for this, but has been a degree of a complacency and the glass by the international community. the main international actors that are involved do have an interest in this, in this situation that have basically forgotten and above the situation because they have thought that it has been frozen for so long that it doesn't really pose any risks at any problems for anyone. so why would you rock the boat when you know

there is nothing really upsetting the status quo? so the outcome of all this has been that for example, we haven't, you know, this conflict as a pad and u.n. special envoy for more than a year now. and has been basically a vacuum of the leadership of authority, of international leadership at the national authority on this, which a my view has really contributed significantly to their latest escalation of the current situation. the fact that there was no significant or visible or tangible international pressure international presence in this conflict, as undoubtedly contributed to the soria bones of yesterday, sitio, why, you've got these people who've grown up in those refugee camps in algeria who've known nothing else, but refugee camps how much pressure are you under from them to resolve the status

of western sahara? good, but let me just before that we are any guests or international analysts. so that morocco is not described as one compiler part by one not nations social organ, the general assembly. and i refer the analyst who you will suspect to your words, to journalists only resolution 3437 of the 21st of november monte, not to 7. open up your paragraphs, 5 and 6. it's under a solution for egypt. in 3519 of you don't know, 980 are the ones you are not commenting that resolution violence and terrorism. you, everybody can ok to prove that iraq was present so far, is an act all occupation. ok. just so your question indeed.

we have a large revolution community living in our own here. but those revolutions were not driven. aren't natural disasters. they were driven by force, by morocco when it's invaded our territory on the 31st of a total of $975.00. indeed, that growing up in refugee camps deprive that from the mob to return to who from the right to benefit from their missiles, now are being there and massively planted by me. you could buy them power and do you feel under pressure to resolve this issue for them, but at this, after so long after 30 years, it indeed, this iteration has gone on for a long time. and your one of the speakers spoke about how the new international community has to be some call from one continent because they are part of that are interested in keeping things that are up but from yesterday and saw how the people

have spoken up. and they said to the international community, and particularly to the security council, if there come a lot from russia's now, how as we do some, and by the way, this is the latest that you have not heard about that our president has decreed a state of war so we are more, again, asleep armed forces and more are, there is no cease fire. i mean longer aren't yasmine. morocco has benefited really from the status quo has made over the last 30 years, the vast phosphate deposits the rich fishing waters. it's not in morocco's interest to resolve this either. is it it suits you suits morocco, other good? pardon to keep things as they are. well, i think the history plays, who are more up aside at the united nations has changed the language because they know who they know. what about who is who should resolve that problem and who

should result? that problem is that is a very high. now, there is no such occupying war that exists in the end, the un resolution. the referendum is the by gone, is the bygone plan. it's a plan that belongs to them to the cole, who are now we see all the, you know, a country that endures and wearables autonomy. and that many countries now our own opening, their conflict respected and that guy that you know, the collaboration and again and again, talking about the phosphates going about the fish resources. they go for the benefit of dead, the heavy population in the southern provinces of morocco. ok. to go and sit in the development that is happening and also something really important. talking about to be a very clean house and yet very open about the that the refugee is there is no better. and then then somehow we believe in this area in the camp in the, in the camps b.m.r. . we are clear that, that the life that was made by the there at the police are

a live issue that you have to wait for this. there doesn't, if there is no getting exported by years and not the international community go line with what is moral progress because that gives it its right to be due to do miracles and we are out of time unfortunately. but thank you to all our guests from the lens. see a city of law from casablanca. yasmeen has now from lisbon ricardo. and thank you too for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website, al-jazeera dot com for more debate, go to our facebook page. facebook dot com, forward slash a.j. inside story. you can also join the conversation on twitter. we are out a.j. the inside story from me, bernard smith and the whole team here we
