Well yeah they're a colonial occupying power. Ukraine is just trying to resist one.

Morocco, it runs Africa's last colony, with all the brutality that implies.

The US brokered a deal under the Trump administration where Morocco would normalize relations with Israel in exchange for the US "recognizing their sovereignty" over neighbouring Western Sahara, a mineral rich region.

Morocco Agrees to Normalize Ties With Israel in Exchange for U.S. Recognition of Western Sahara Sovereignty.
