Question description

Relations between Morocco and Algeria have historically been rocky. A brief war was fought in the early 1960s over the border delineation, and Morocco has been fighting a low-intensity conflict with the Algeria-backed Sahrawi Republic for control of the Western Sahara since the 1970s. Political tension in 2021 caused the two countries to break off diplomatic relations,, leading to some speculation about a potential war.
