The Occupation We Choose to Ignore’

Do you know who I am? I am a Sahrawi. The land to which I refer is what is known today as the non-self-governing territory ofWestern Sahara. My country was colonized by the Spanish and the French between 1884 and 1975, divided in two and occupied by Moroccan and Mauritanian forces thereafter, and has been ruled exclusively by the Kingdom of Morocco from 1979 until the present.

this is one part of the Arab Spring that western governments don't want to talk about. And their silence, and the UN's complicity in it, is why that repression continues, and a terrible injustice is perpetuated.

Oblivion it seems is the current reality for the arid North African territory of Western Sahara; often referred to as Africa’s ‘Last Colony’. In my opinion, it would be more accurate to describe it as ‘Africa’s Forgotten Colony’.

Germany arrests Moroccan in Berlin on suspicion of spying - Monsters and Critics

Karlsruhe, Germany - German authorities arrested a 56-year-old Moroccan man in Berlin on Wednesday on suspicion of spying on activists of Frente Polisario, a group seeking the independence of Western Sahara.

Federal prosecutors in Karlsruhe said police searched his home, as well as the homes and offices of two other suspects and a clubroom.

The likely charge against him would be espionage.

The man, who had both Moroccan and German nationality, was suspected of passing information to the Moroccan intelligence service about Frente Polisario. The Western Sahara group opposes Moroccan control of the territory, which was previously a Spanish colony.

Last week, German authorities arrested two men in Berlin, also on espionage charges. They were accused of monitoring Syrian opposition activists and reporting on them to the Syrian embassy in Berlin.
