Morocco-Spain Tensions: Spain Rejects Morocco's Territorial Map
Diplomatic Row Erupts over Disputed Western Sahara
Madrid has rejected Morocco's official territorial map, which includes the disputed region of Western Sahara.
The decision has sparked a diplomatic row between the two countries, with Morocco recalling its ambassador to Spain in protest.
Western Sahara is a former Spanish colony that has been claimed by both Morocco and the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR).
Spain has historically maintained a neutral stance on the conflict, but its recent recognition of Morocco's sovereignty over the region has angered the SADR and its supporters.
The SADR has accused Spain of "betrayal" and has called for international condemnation of Morocco's actions.
The United Nations has called for a referendum on the region's future, but this has been rejected by Morocco.
The ongoing tensions between Morocco and Spain are a major concern for the region, and there are fears that the situation could escalate further.
