Western Sahara remained a Spanish colony until 1975 when the Moroccan government organized a so-called “Green March” with 350,000 protesters marching into Western Sahara to claim the land.

RABAT, Oct 29 (Reuters) - Four explosions in the city of Smara in Morocco-controlled Western Sahara late on Saturday killed one man and injured three others, Moroccan local authorities said.

Ambassador Mouloud Said, the representative of Western Sahara in Washington, disputed Morocco’s claims of sovereignty over the territory at a Harvard Law School event on Monday.

In 1991, the Sahrawi national movement, led by the Polisario, suspended the armed struggle it had waged against Morocco since it occupied Western Sahara in 1975.

Algeria, which borders both Morocco and Western Sahara, has actively supported the Polisario and is home to more than 100,000 Sahrawis living in refugee camps, as well as the Polisario’s leadership.

Morocco moved in to control most of the sparsely populated territory after former colonial ruler Spain withdrew in 1975.
