    I’m listening to this special report on Western Sahara now. I had NO idea that Morocco had forcibly colonized Western Sahara country after Spain left in the mid-’70s, or that there’s a total crackdown on westerners reporting here… or that Morocco is profiting violently from Western Sahara’s natural resources… or that there’s an actual wall and millions of land mines keeping its residents confined.

    Wow. I’m a little ashamed that I had no idea. We don’t hear about this in the US.

        Here in the UK, I didn’t know either. What I have since discovered is that clicking on the link in the Democracy Now! post gives you an Error message which suggests that they don’t want you to know what is really going on in the Western Sahara.

    Amy – It is not that bad on the reporting front!
    The BBC World Service covers the Western Sahara regularly.
    Even the BBC News website did a skim coverage earlier this year

    In the UK there’s an active Western Sahara Campaign

    One of my oldest friends ( sadly passed in 2014 ) was an active campaigner for them – and always nagging me to do/give.
    Some refugees make it to the UK, not many, and she was an ‘adopted mother’ to a few of them.
