Whenever I post online about the Moroccan occupation there's always a "Sahrawi" who quickly answers in perfect English in favor of Morocco.

I'm pretty sure there's a bot army involved but I don't know how to prove it. Any tips, suggestions, or anything else you'd like to contribute?

Doesn’t make sense, Either a Moroccan or a settler pretending to be Sahrawiii

Not all sahrawi people are supporters of polisario it might be a genuine morrocan sahrawi.having perfect English doesn't mean it's a bot it depends for example having a new account post history ect...

I get that, but there's only about 600k Sahrawis, less than that are pro-moroccan and fluent in English. When I get such a reply within minutes of posting on Instagram it's rather sus.

How did you come to that conclusion ? We could say just for the sake of your argument that about 90,000 sahrawis according to UN and 173,000 according to polisario and Algeria are in refuge camps the rest are either immigrants in other countries or living in Morrocan controled territories which is safe to assume that they have a solid portion that are pro morrocan.but your assumption is correct like bots exist totally

The percentage of sahrawis that support mirocco is irrelevant to my point. You simply wouldn't expect the amout of token sahrawi comments because there aren't that many sahrawis total, you wouldn't expect a bunch of sahrawis to consistently see random posts and comments just minutes after publication

Look I'm not denying it just expanded on it as I said it is true and it happens especially in these situations like at the end of day it's to be expected both sides have heavy surveillance either Algeria or morroco

There's no such thing as a Moroccan Sahrawi. It's either a Moroccan pretending to be Sahrawi ( which probably is the case/ a bot) or a Sahrawi who supports Morocco's illegal occupation of Western Sahara (and I doubt the latter)

30 mins old post, 2 karma, already defending occupation. Yeah, that’s the pattern right there
