The conflict between Morocco and the Polisario Front is once again escalating following recent developments in Western Sahara, a region marked by decades of territorial and political dispute.
According to recent reports, Moroccan forces allegedly carried out a military operation in which three members of the Polisario Front were killed, including Lahbib Mohamed Abdelaziz, a senior Sahrawi official and the son of the historic independence leader Mohamed Abdelaziz.
This incident has triggered a strong reaction from the Sahrawi movement, which has declared official mourning and condemned the attack as part of a broader military escalation in the region. The operation is said, according to various sources, to have involved the use of drones, which are increasingly present in the conflict.
An increasingly militarized conflict
Western Sahara has experienced heightened tensions for several years, particularly since the breakdown of the ceasefire in 2020. Since then, the use of drones and sporadic strikes has increased, turning the conflict into a low-intensity but ongoing war.
The Polisario Front insists it remains committed to the self-determination of the Sahrawi people, while Morocco continues to strengthen its control over the territory and its military strategy in the region.
International repercussions
The international context also plays a key role. UN mediation is still in place, but without significant progress toward a final political solution. Meanwhile, diplomatic tensions between the involved actors continue to rise.
