Western Sahara and Morocco
Western Sahara scores 15/100 toward Morocco (aggressive rhetoric, bans), while Morocco scores 10/100 back.
Western Sahara toward Morocco
Western Sahara (via the Polisario Front/SADR) fundamentally contests Moroccan sovereignty claims over the territory; the coverage confirms ongoing disputed status with Morocco asserting sovereignty and third parties taking sides against Sahrawi independence.
Morocco toward Western Sahara
Morocco asserts full sovereignty over Western Sahara, actively lobbying third countries (e.g., Colombia, US) to recognize its claims, directly negating Western Saharan self-determination and statehood.
