00:00The United States is hosting a new round of talks on Western Sahara in Washington starting Monday.
00:08Trump's Africa envoy Massad Boulos brings together Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania and Polisario Fund for closed-door negotiations.
00:18This is the third meeting in a month signaling Washington's push for a resolution by spring.
00:24Analysts say Trump wants to represent himself as a peacemaker while supporting Morocco, a key ally set to participate in
00:33the Gaza Stabilization Force.
00:35The Polisario Front and Algeria reject this, insisting on self-determination.
00:42Another sticking point, Morocco's proposal reportedly excludes official recognition of Sarawi identity, no flag, no anthem.
00:51Sarawi representatives strongly oppose this, noting that the United States, like California and Texas, have their own symbols yet remain
01:00fully integrated.
