In a video posted on Youtube, and in a Daesh-like-scenario, a named Said Zalmat, a bearded Moroccan in Islamist hard liner fundamentalist way and the look of a subservient member of a terrorist group, holds a speech full of mouths blows against the Polisario and Algeria. Carrying a Samurai sword, a head bandaged in black with white letters of the Moroccan kingdom official slogan; Allah, homeland, king and dressed in a military uniform, this terrorist hastily comes out of a mountain cave, walks on a rocky hill in the outskirts of The Moroccan city Mekness and begins using and abusing the Islamic terminology to warn and threaten those he qualifies enemies of the territorial integrity of Morocco, namely the Saharawis and Algerians.

I have just come from Tindouf last night, where I saw first-hand the very harsh conditions of the refugees. For more than forty years, they have been separated from their families. I was deeply, deeply saddened – and especially concerned about the children who may not be able to imagine life beyond the camps. The children who were born 40 years ago, they have become 40 years old – can you believe that? Young children, boys and girls, I was so sad, particularly sad for them because if they think that the end of their camp is the end of the world, end of their vision, end of their dream, then what will happen to them? We have to be responsible. We have to do much, much more. I saw tens of thousands of people yesterday. They all came out of refugee camps. It was 18 years after when the last Secretary-General visited that camp. Kofi Annan, my predecessor was there in 1998. Eighteen years after I was there. It was too late and I felt very much guilty sense that why am I here so late?...

A few days before the new year of 2016, a whole series of resolutions were adopted at the 70th session of the UN General Assembly, one of which deserves special attention. It is dedicated to a forgotten international crisis and an ultimately forgotten country known as Western Sahara... One reason that Western Sahara became a problem once Africa was decolonized was because Morocco and Mauritania had claims on its territory (Western Sahara covers 266,000 sq. kilometers, making it 20,000 sq. kilometers larger than Great Britain). The population of Western Sahara advocated for independence and the right to determine their own identity, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Saguia el-Hamra and Río de Oro (POLISARIO) fiercely resisted its country’s occupiers. Currently, only 43 nations support the legality of Morocco’s claims to Western Sahara. Most of the world backs POLISARIO, although only 37 countries have recognized the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) as a...
