Morocco and the Polisario Front - 14 Dec 2007

They have been wrangling over Western Sahara for decades, but Morocco and the Polisario Front are still no closer to reaching an agreement.

Morocco claims the North African territory as its own, but it is disputed by the Polisario movement which wants an independent state.




Now, the Front, in its first general congress since 2003, is proposing a return to warfare.

And as Zeina Awad reports, a generation of young Sahrawis are growing up in refugee camps, unsure of their future.

Wait... so what does Morocco have to gain by having these people that hate them? is there an abundance of some resource there? I don't get why they don't just leave them to be their own nation. To me it only looked like sand and a bunch of pissed nationalists. What ever... just putting my thoughts here. Hopefully someone with more insight can tell me about this.

@tigerstylexx Woooow what a dumb retarded mind you have... It's almost sad to see how misinformed you are.... ''It has historic ties with this land and will not give it up'' Then why didn't they try to fight the spaniards? If the land has nothing, then why does moroccan pigs fight over it? What terrorists are you talking about??? So you're a terrorist because you defend your country? I guess the Palestinians are also terrorists.... It's like some Iranians trying to have back Persia. WTF?!
