Consequences
On April 2, the governments of Spain and Morocco signed the Treaty of Angra de Cintra. Morocco obtained the region of Tarfaya (the colony of Cape Juby), between the river Draa and the parallel 27ยบ 40', excluding Sidi Ifni and the Spanish Sahara.
Spain retained possession of Ifni until 1969, when, while under some international pressure (resolution 2072 of the United Nations from 1965), it returned the territory to Morocco. Spain kept control of Western Sahara until the 1975 Green March and the Moroccan Army invasion prompted a withdrawal. The future of the former Spanish colony remains uncertain.
