The abrupt change in the policy of the Madrid over disputed between Morocco and Polisario was taken as a shift in their policy over sub-Saharan policy. Algeria condemned and call it a u-turn by Western powers. The pro-independence group supports the right of self-autonomy for the disputed territory. Sub Saharan policy is based on giving autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty considered to be a more realistic and credible way to devolve the power to people who have grievances and have reservations over not having the autonomy to protect their rights. To end conflict giving autonomy under the Moroccan sovereignty.
The Algeria-backed Polisario separatists use the armed conflict in the 1970s and till the deal in 1991 that ended with a ceasefire. The armed conflict led to the loss of lives and infrastructure losses that have increased the grievances of people and demand for autonomy has pressurized the authorities not to deprive them of their right of autonomy.
The regional organization including African Union, EU, and United Nations do not recognize the authority of Morocco. They suspect them of infringing on their right to autonomy and to become a self-autonomous body. Despite the ceasefire, the demands of autonomy have not lost their vitality for the people of Polisario. In 2020, the Trump administration acknowledge the Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara as a strategy for the kingdom of Morocco to mend its ties with Israel. The deal sparked renewed tensions with Algeria. They have opposed normalizing relations with Israel. They have supported the demands of Polisario.
The question would change in Sub-Saharan policy would bring stability? The autonomy will resolve their contentious issues towards Israel. The ideology is based on set of beliefs and ideas. Autonomy can facilitate the process but to bring total policy change require conditioning that helps in changing the perception of people that is driven by ideology.
