algeria has summoned its ambassador to spain back for consultations
over madrid's recent comments on western sahara the foreign affairs ministry has said
spain said the government had informed algeria about its position in relation to western sahara
spain and morocco moved to patch up a diplomatic dispute recently as madrid shifted closer towards
rabban's position on the conflict in western sahara and said a new phase in relations had begun

considered its own but where an algeria-backed independence movement demands a sovereign state
morocco said it had a letter saying spain considered the autonomy initiative it
presented in 2007 as the most serious realistic and credible basis for selling the disputes
spain's new position towards the western sahara is an unexpected ship from its previous neutral
stands which was supportive of a united nations plan that includes a self-determination referendum
