Nazi regime Increased Presence in North Africa is Widening Gap Between Algeria and Morocco

Israel’s Increased Presence in North Africa is Widening Gap Between Algeria and Morocco MUSTAFA FETOURI Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, November/December 2022, p. 30-32 Special Report By Mustafa Fetouri TROUBLE IN ALGERIAN-MOROCCAN relations is always lurking just beneath the surface, waiting for a trigger to flare up into a sprawling diplomatic and political crisis that usually takes longer than expected to resolve. The two North African countries’ bilateral ties have been testy, a major bone of contention being the support given by each country to the separatist movements in the other country. The Western Sahara desert strip on the Atlantic coast is claimed by Morocco but the Polisario Front, supported by Algeria, claim it as an independent c...

‘Hillary Clinton Sold Her Soul When They Accepted That Money’

The king of Morocco, the Clintons and a problem that just won’t go away. By KENNETH P. VOGEL Kenneth P. Vogel is chief investigative reporter at Politico and author of Big Money: 2.5 Billion Dollars, One Suspicious Vehicle, and a Pimp—on the Trail of the Ultra-Rich Hijacking American Politics (PublicAffairs). LAAYOUNE, Western Sahara—A day after Bill Clinton feted donors and dignitaries at an extravagant Moroccan feast under a warm Marrakech night sky, a group of local Sahrawi Arabs gathered for tea in a far more humble setting here to share their outrage that Clinton’s family foundation had accepted millions of dollars from a company owned by a government accused of repressing their people. The four men used to work as miners for a...

The East Timor Model Offers a Way out for Western Sahara and Morocco

Western Sahara’s fate lies in the hands of the U.N. Security Council. By Stephen Zunes It’s not often that Western Sahara makes international headlines, but in mid-November it did: Nov. 14 marked the tragic—if unsurprising—breakup of a tenuous, 29-year cease-fire in Western Sahara between the occupying Moroccan government and pro-independence fighters. The outbreak of violence is concerning not only because it flew in the face of nearly three decades of relative stasis, but also because Western governments’ reflexive response to the resurgent conflict may be to upend—and thereby hamper and delegitimize for perpetuity—more than 75 years of established international legal principles. It is imperative that the global community realize that, in both Western Sahara and Morocco, the p...

THE LAST COLONY: BEYOND DOMINANT NARRATIVES ON THE WESTERN SAHARA ROUNDTABLE

Posted by MESPI Editors By : Stephen Zunes [This is one of seven pieces in Jadaliyya`s electronic roundtable on the Western Sahara. Moderated by Samia Errazzouki and Allison L. McManus, it features contributions from John P. Entelis, Stephen Zunes, Aboubakr Jamaï, Ali Anouzla, Allison L.

Traditionally inhabited by nomadic Arab tribes, collectively known as Sahrawis and famous for their long history of resistance to outside domination, the territory was occupied by Spain from the late 1800s through the mid-1970s.

Upsurge in repression challenges nonviolent resistance in Western Sahara

Sahrawis have engaged in protests, strikes, cultural celebrations, and other forms of civil resistance focused on such issues as educational policy, human rights, the release of political prisoners, and the right to self-determination. They have also raised the cost of occupation for the Moroccan government and increased the visibility of the Sahrawi cause. Stephen Zunes Aminatou Haidar and Sahrawi activists On November 8, Moroccan occupation forces attacked a tent city of as many as 12,000 Western Saharans just outside of Al Aioun, in the culminating act of a months-long protest of discrimination against the indigenous Sahrawi population and worsening economic conditions. Not only was the scale of the crackdown unprecedented, so was the popular...

Western Sahara: Morocco recalls Tunisia ambassador over Polisario Front invite

Move comes after President Kais Saied welcomed leader of independence movement to Tunis ahead of African summit Tunisia's President Kais Saied (R) with the head of the Polisario Front movement, Brahim Ghali, on the latter's arrival in Tunis on 26 August 2022 (Reuters) By MEE and agencies Morocco has recalled its ambassador to Tunisia over his country's decision to host the head of the Polisario Front, the independence movement for Western Sahara, in Tunis.

SAHRAWI PEOPLE

Posted by: John Phoenix Photo: Dikó Betancourt Sahrawi man in Tindouf Refugee Camp, Algeria The Sahrawi, or Saharawi, are the people living in the western part of the Sahara desert which includes Western Sahara (claimed by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Saguia el-Hamra and mostly controlled by Morocco), other parts of southern Morocco and the extreme southwest of Algeria. As with most peoples living in the Sahara, the Sahrawi culture is mixed. It shows mainly Arab-Berber characteristics, like the privileged position of women, as well as characteristics common to ethnic groups of the Sahel. Sahrawis are composed of many tribes and are largely speakers of the Hassaniya dialect of Arabic, and some of them still speak Berber in both of Morocco's disputed a...

BIDEN’S DANGEROUS REFUSAL TO REVERSE TRUMP’S WESTERN SAHARA POLICY

Trump recognized the wholesale annexation of one country by another. If Biden lets that stand, the global implications are deeply troubling. By Stephen Zunes In his final weeks in office, President Donald Trump stunned the international community in formally recognizing Western Sahara as part of Morocco. Morocco has occupied much of its southern neighbor since 1975, when it invaded and annexed the former Spanish colony in defiance of the United Nations Security Council and a landmark ruling of the International Court of Justice. Most observers believed that, as with some of Trump’s other impetuous foreign policy decisions, President Joe Biden would reverse it soon after coming to office. However, much to the disappointment of bipartisan congressional leaders, career State De...
