Something Big Just Happened to the World's Last Colony

Something big just happened in North Africa — and it could quietly reshape how the world defines borders, power, and legitimacy. While global attention is fixed on Gaza and Ukraine, the United Nations has just sided with Morocco in one of the world’s longest-running territorial disputes — the Western Sahara.

For half a century, this stretch of desert has been the battleground for rival claims between Morocco and the Algeria-backed Polisario Front. But with a new UN resolution now explicitly backing Moroccan sovereignty, a frozen conflict has suddenly thawed. Algeria is furious, the Polisario is calling it colonialism, and Washington is calling it “a long-overdue step toward stability.”

So in this video, I break down how Morocco managed to turn an old colonial standoff into a modern diplomatic victory, why Algeria finds itself increasingly isolated, and what this means for the global struggle over territorial integrity — from the Sahara to Ukraine.
