“西撒哈拉问题”是殖民历史遗留问题，在北非国家的地缘博弈中、在以美国和法国为主的大国介入下该问题进一步复杂化。2024年7月，马克龙明确表示支持摩洛哥对西撒哈拉的主权主张，希望通过政治表态和经济投资的“双轮驱动”强化法国与摩洛哥的双边关系，重塑法国在北非的影响力。马克龙政府“西撒哈拉政策”调整的实质是从战略上权衡法国与摩洛哥、阿尔及利亚两国间的双边关系，以调整法国在北非地区的战略布局。这一调整在短期内使得法摩关系升温，但也导致法阿关系恶化，并激化了摩、阿两国在“西撒哈拉问题”上的对立。尽管法国声称推动“西撒哈拉问题”政治解决，却因加剧地区矛盾与国际社会分裂，使这一问题更趋复杂，未来局势发展有待观察。
The question of Western Sahara originated from the legacy of colonial history，developed in the geopolitical game of the regional powers in North Africa，and further complicated by the intervention of international powers，particularly the United States and France. In July 2024，Macron explicitly supported Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara，hoping to strengthen bilateral relations with Morocco through the “double-wheeled drive” of political statements and economic investment，and to reshape France’s influence in North Africa. The essence of the Macron administration’s policy adjustment in Western Sahara is a strategic trade-off of the relationships between France and Morocco，as well as between France and Algeria，and a reorganization of its strategic layout in North Africa. This adjustment in the short term has led to warming Franco-Moroccan relations，but it has also caused Franco-Algerian relations to deteriorate and intensified the confrontation between these two countries over the Western Sahara. Although France claims to promote a political solution to the question of Western Sahara，it has tended to hinder the resolution of this issue by exacerbating regional contradictions and divisions in the international community. And the future development of the situation remains to be seen.
