Not surprised a Moroccan is mixing these up I mean years of driven state propaganda payed off

Western Sahara is a UN listed Non Self Governing Territory under military occupation since 1975. It was never part of Morocco, Spain colonized it, then Morocco invaded it. That’s not separatism, that’s unfinished decolonization. The Sahrawis aren’t trying to break away from anything. They’re trying to finish what colonialism started

You just spent this whole conversation denying Western Sahara is even an occupation, and now you’re concerned about unfair comparisons?

Nobody said the situations are identical. But both involve occupation, displacement, and a people denied self-determination pointing that out isn’t “cheap"", it’s accurate. If anything, the discomfort comes from realizing Morocco’s role isn’t so different from what you’re criticizing elsewhere
