Morocco has controlled Western Sahara as its three southernmost provinces since 1975. As a result of the war with the Sahraoui Polisario, Morocco currently controls 91% of the land and all major cities, but has ceded 9% of the desert in the east to the Polisario.

∙ 13y agoMorocco controls the western sahara, before 1975 it was colonized by Spain. but after the historical event of the Green March where 350,000 unarmed Moroccans went to the south to regain their land. Unfortunately and after years Spain and Algeria with help with the Libyan dictator (kadaffi) armed some rebellions ( millions of dollars has being invest to terrorize the Moroccan frontier and takeover the sahara) the fact that there is oil in the Saraha makes person like the presidents of Algeria and Libya to invest their countries money to help polysario and destroy all aspect of peace.

The three provincial capitals are Laâyoune, Samarra, and Dakhla, and are all subservient to the Moroccan national capital of Rabat.
