    In Part 1, we attend the 38th anniversary celebration of the proclamation of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. The Sahrawis celebrate this anniversary every year despite the facts that Morocco controls a third of their homeland and the parade takes place in Algerian refugee camps run by the Polisario.
    At the celebration, we meet Sahrawi activist Sidahmed Talmidi, who, in October 2010, helped mobilize the Gdeim Izik protest camp near Laâyoune, the capital of occupied Western Sahara. Chomsky refers to the thousands of Saharwis who gathered there to demonstrate against both their unequal social and economic status and the brutal denial of their human rights as the real beginning of the Arab Spring.
    Then Ahmed Salem, a war veteran and commander of the Polisario's 2nd Battalion, shows us around the makeshift refugee camps in the arid desert, where more than 100,000 Sahrawis who have escaped the Moroccan occupation have lived for nearly 40 years, relying on humanitarian aid and waiting for the chance to return to their homeland.
    VICE News travels to Western Sahara's occupied and liberated territories, as well as the Polisario-run refugee camps in Algeria, to find out more about one of the world's least reported conflicts.

Why do you reject the referendum, which is considered the finest form of democracy and a fair and transparent expression of the opinion of the Sahrawi people? The bottom line is that you are just occupiers. For a land that is not yours, no less or more, and what you are trying to do is just a hollow maneuver. It is enough to hold a referendum on the citizens who were found in Western Sahara before the Moroccan occupation and who were counted by Spain at the time to find out the falsehood of your allegations and lies

      Jay Carney this is clearly not the same, going by your logic Morocco was not a legitimate country until February 1956 when it gain independence from France by that time Spain had complete control over Western Sahara when Morocco gained independence it only included the French and Spanish protectorate which was back when Morocco was a protectorate of both Spain and France and Western Sahara wasn’t included in there meaning that technically Western Sahara should belong to Spain since the were the first to claim it in 1884 and they are no historical documents that suggest that Western Sahara was a integrated part of Morocco before it became a country so I’m going to disagree with you there .

    The land was in fact occupied by Spain and never was a sovereign nation before. It has always been part of Morocco. But in 1975 the Moroccan people organised a march (The Green March) and liberated the Moroccan Sahara from the Spanish (Franco The Fascist Dictator). But General Franco had one last card to play before being kicked out of the Moroccan Sahara, which was to promise part of the population independence and also agree to the Moroccan masses their Sahara being returned to them. So when he left he knew this would happen.

    • @1337BananaL33TVostok
      @1337BananaL33TVostok 10 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Hahaha "green march" which came FROM Morocco, organized by the government to demand this land. The fact is that they saw a weak native population ruled by declining empire, so their objective was to get their voice overheard the Sahrawis and use excuses that previous dynasties ruled this land, but it had never incorporated until they invaded it. So cowardly as they are, they saw a clear chance of opportunism. The Sahrawis on the other part never got the chance to a referendum and it's certainly not Morocco to decide their fate.

      The Sahara People and northern Moroccan people are one people and one needs remember that the Maghreb (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia ect...) was one nation until it was divided up by the French and Spanish (DIVIDE & CONQUER, The old British method) (I know, I am British) Franco created this division because a united Morocco is not in the benefit of Franco's Spain. Now if the Polosario just didn't want to be ruled by the Moroccan Government then I understand that because the Moroccan Government is corrupt and do not serve its people and that's why the north of morocco hates the government also. but a divided nation is not in the best interest of the Sahara or the whole of Morocco. The best thing is for all the people, North, Central and south (Sahara) to unite, take control and create a united nation for all the People.

    Let's see who have been fighting Spain from 1860 to 1975.
    In 1860, Moroccans lost against Spain during the Battle of Wad El Ras which led to the occupation of Sahara.
    In 1898, a Mauritanian Sahrawi fighter and Imam, Ma El Ainin, pledged allegiance to the moroccan sultan of that time and received weapons from him so that he could fight against France in Mauritania. He is buried in Tiznit, Morocco.
    In 1957, Moroccans from Guelmim and Sidi Ifni tried to liberate Sahara during the Ifni War against Spain and France.
    70's Polisario was created.

    For those of you who don't know why this is a hard-to-solve conflict. After French & Spanish occupation was kicked out of Morocco then Algeria. The two nations had a problem deciding on the borders. Algeria suggested that both nations should stick to the border drawn by occupation while Morocco refused to give up on "his lands" (many documents & maps show the real size of Morocco). Then the Moroccan people organized the famous "Green March", where Moroccans walked (yeah, really walked) from all places of the country to the Sahara (was occupied by Spain there) to liberate these lost territories. As a Moroccan, I'm ready to give up my last breath fighting for this just cause and end the enemy's dream of dividing the people of two brother nations !

      The sahrawi people of Western Sahara are not Moroccan. They literally have their own culture and dialect separate from Morocco and that’s why they want independence. Morocco’s claim to Western Sahara is antiquated and does not respect the people living there RIGHT NOW. Why doesn’t Turkey claim most of the Middle East if historical claims are so important to you? Why doesn’t Egypt claim north Sudan since those were previously lands of ancient Egypt? You see historical claims should never be used as a pretext for colonization/invasion because then the whole world would be at war using that logic. The Western Sahara border drawn by Spain at least more closely respected ethnic and linguistic differences between the kingdom of Morocco and the tribal sahrawi people.

      Christopher Harriott jamaicans don't speak creole. creole is the broken french dialect made by haitians. jamaicans speak patoise which is the broken form of the english language. what he was saying was correct, he's stating that a broken spaniard speaking person speaking perfect spanish with correct accent is as amazing as a broken english speak person speaking perfect english with accents. which i might add is semi-false since almost everyone in jamaica can speak proper english and patoise.

    "I the1950s Morocco was the first ever to demand the UN to look into ending
    the Spanish occupation of its southern territories, at the time you
    would not find Polisario in any dictionary. in the 1960s Morocco entered direct negotiations with Spain when spain left, the area was left to Mauritania and Morocco the only two countries who had any rights over the region, they settled their borders. Algeria was never included in the negociations, that left them with this grudge because they've always dreamed to have a pipeline that would go straight to the Atlantic, thus their creation of the so called "polisario", they armed them, gave them refuge and let them loose on Morocco. most sahrawis are moroccan citizens, their leader(abdelaziz) who's been in that position for some 30 years(so much for democracy) was born in Marrakech, Morocco. try interviewing sahrawis without an escort from the so called Gov official, you can not(North korea all over). I say you've been had, you've been bamboozeled. I like VICE, I watch all your stuff, I don't you were biaese on purpose. I won't be surprised if the lady commentator is spanish and buys into the polisario propaganda."

    A complete ignorance from the journalist, who did not even think about making a very small research about the real situation, and tried to bring some arguments from the opposite side. I stopped watching the video from the moment you said IZDIK was ran by polizario, well it is not, some members of polizario were there, but it does not make them, leader of this protest. There were some violence at this event, however, again the journalist, couldn't even google it, to find many videos where Moroccan policemen were killed and tortured and nobody from polizario was injured. The policemen were even unarmed :)
