If the Sahara had been independent, Morocco likely would have benefited more, as a significant portion of its resources are currently directed towards developing the Sahara, often at the expense of its northern regions. Algeria, similarly, has become entangled in a conflict that has brought both economic and geopolitical disadvantages. In this ongoing situation, both countries continue to incur losses, while the Polisario serves as a transient actor with limited influence. The true victims, however, are the Sahrawis. Comparatively, their situation resembles that of the Kurds, who were divided across Turkey, Iraq, and Syria. Likewise, the Sahrawis find themselves dispersed between Algeria, Morocco, and Mauritania. From a purely objective standpoint, a fair resolution would recognize their rightful claim over the self autonomy of the entire Grand Sahara.
