Western Sahara is the largest disputed territory in the world, designated by the United Nations as a non-self-governing territory, despite Morocco controlling about 80% of it.
That number represents roughly 7% of the state's land and waters. It also corresponds with the amount of land the federal government promised it would hold as reservations for Indigenous tribes after California joined the union in 1850. Congress ultimately rejected these treaties in a secret meeting - after pressure from the state - and failed to notify tribes, many of whom upheld their end of the agreement to relocate.

United States President Donald Trump launched the Board of Peace on Thursday, saying it's one of the most consequential bodies ever created in the history of the world. This is all part of the agreement to reach a ceasefire in Gaza after more than two years of Israel's genocidal war on Palestinians in the territory. Trump said the board will work in partnership with the United Nations to address crises far beyond Gaza.
I'm always amazed by the myopic drone that colonisation and everything that's happened in our country was all bad, said Seymour, who is leader of the right-wing ACT Party and a member of the Maori community. The truth is that very few things are completely bad, Seymour had said, according to local online news site Stuff.
