CIA updates map to recognize Western Sahara as part of Morocco

The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency has updated its map to show Western Sahara as part of Morocco, aligning with the U.S. 2020 recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over the disputed territory. The update underscores Morocco’s diplomatic gains, including French and Spanish backing for its autonomy plan. The update coincides with Monday’s inauguration of Donald Trump, whose administration endorsed Morocco’s proposal as the sole solution to the conflict.
