The territory called western sahara ever since the fondation of morocco in the 7th century, has been in and out of morocco’s control mainly because we couldn’t manage to remain under a same dynasty for more than 100 years, you know Chinese style, dynasty rises, collapses, replaced by a new dynasty, repeat.
Now the territory is historically moroccan and before the partition of morocco by france and Spain after the agadir crisis of 1912, it was part of the kingdom of morocco.
Going forward to 1956, morocco gets it independence, and gets all its territory back (ceuta and mellila don’t count as colonial holdings) except for western sahara which remains under spain. At that point the territory was claimed by morocco, mauritania to the south and algeria (which wanted access to the atlantic) in 1975 morocco does the green march where they successfully made spain abandon the territory, the thing is Spain didn’t say they gave it to morocco they just left. 
Mauritania backed off its claims, and algeria justified claims by backing separatists/indepentists (call them what you want) of the Polisario front.
Morocco controlled the region, and the sahrawis loyal to algeria went next to the algerian border, and the rest remained with the local population and some settlers from the north, algeria finances the Polisario which fights skirmishes with morocco occasionally, a cease fire was signed in 1991.
The situation right now is the following, the algerian government which is controlled by the generals of the war of independence can’t back off because the sole reason their authority is still intact is because they stir trouble with morocco,
No UN référendum of self determination is possible because we can’t agree on what is a sahraoui, (we want all people living in the region to vote, while algeria and the Polisario only want their sympathizers to vote, because there are a lot of moroccans that moved there since the green march)
Ultimately as a moroccan I am happy with the deal between us the US and Isarel. There’s also the possibility of integrating them as an autonomous region inside the kingdom. 
I wrote a lot and skipped a couple of relevant stuff (the sand wars etc.), i just want to finish by saying I love my Algerian brothers we are the same people and I hope they will rise up against their government that ruined their country ( you know algeria was the example to follow for post colonial countries).

You’re right, that does sound quite complicated, and you explained your position well …

If I may amend my prior assessment, as usual when the little guy gets screwed, it sometimes turns out that someone else put him up to it and they both might’ve had it coming a little bit.
