Moroccan historian and CNRS researcher Nabil Mouline has released a 37-minute web documentary titled «Le Sahara : de l'Autonomie à la Souveraineté», tracing a thousand years of history to contextualize Morocco's recent diplomatic victory at the United Nations, where the Security Council voted in favor of Morocco's autonomy plan as the basis for negotiations to resolve the Sahara conflict last October. Unveiled just days after the adoption of Resolution 2797, the film offers a long-term historical perspective, spanning from the Almoravid Empire to the Green March and the UN peace process, to illustrate the evolution of Morocco's sovereignty over the Sahara, according to the project team's press release. Mouline describes the film as «a rigorous scientific effort to make history accessible without compromising academic integrity». Structured into seven thematic chapters, the documentary blends extensive research from local and European sources with clear and educational storytelling. Produced in collaboration with digital creator Moustapha Swinga, who directed and narrated the film, the documentary builds on their previous successful projects «Aji Tafham» and «L'Empreinte du Patrimoine». The 37-minute video, freely available on YouTube, aims to reach broad audiences by combining academic rigor with engaging digital storytelling.
