" class="external">Jacob Mundy Discusses the Challenges to Western Saharan Autonomy
Negotiating a solution to the conflict between Morocco and Western Sahara faces many obstacles, reports Jacob Mundy of Foreign Policy in Focus. An increasing sense of nationalism among Western Sahara’s native Sawahri, for instance, stands in direct opposition to US’s nearly unconditional support of Morocco as an ally in the ‘War on Terror’. While autonomy for Western Sahara seems the only solution, resuming negotiations will not only require concessions from both Morocco and Western Sahara, but also substantial investment from the international community, including the possibility of military support in peace-building operations.
