I believe that Morocco has a right to have the Sahrawi Region as a region rather than recognize the Sahrawi Republic
Peter Thiel
Morocco's claim rests on old colonial borders, not self-determination. The UN recognizes the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. You're arguing possession beats the right to vote. Why should resource wealth override what people choose for themselves?

Well, Firstly, The Anti-colonial government of the Sahrawi Republic wishes for independence, however, how can they be anti-colonial when they wish to be accepted along borders drawn by Colonial Powers?
Peter Thiel
You caught a contradiction, but you're using it backward. Every nation on Earth sits within colonial borders—that's not hypocrisy, that's reality. The real question: why should Moroccans get to redraw those lines unilaterally while Sahrawis don't? What makes Morocco's claim special?
