      the video is too biased for real, they didn't even talk about the history of the region, it's Moroccan, so there is no occupation besides the occupation of a great Morocco in the Algerian regime that created this chaos and Polisario to tackle Morocco, this is absurdly not the way Vice does documentaries. By the way, the sahara region of Morocco is developing quiet serious, it was Moroccan and it's still Moroccan

    • @Bombay1618

      Yes. France and Spain basically took control of the country for 100 years, ending in 1957. Spain actually retains two autonomous zones (Ceuta and Melilla) in what would be Morocco. There are more French speakers than Spanish speakers, but there is more Spanish as you go north to bigger cities. The biggest city, Casablanca, means "white house" in Spanish.

      ***** You're missing the point here -- it matters not where they are being filmed; they could be at any refugee camp in any country, but that won't change their cultural background before displacement. You're right they're not Moroccans, they're Sahawari -- the people of Western Sahara, but I never said they were Moroccans. I didn't even imply it; I was simply answering Voltage's question. The fact that they're refugees does not change the fact that the people of Western Sahara (whose rebel group is the Polisario), as well as the people of Morocco were heavily influenced by Spanish and French, culturally speaking. "Polisario" actually is an acronym for Popular de Liberación de Saguía el Hamra y Río de Oro. That's a Spanish acronym, by the way.

      if you don't know already, Algeria pays people and journalists to do this kind of stuff, the most humiliating thing that happened this month was when the UN warned the state news service of Algeria of their misconduct and fake news, and this was happening for too long, stealing and faking Moroccan,Egyptian and Tunisian history to make it seem a joke, truth be told that Algeria has no history at all, that's why they're doing that. They payed Venewuela,South Africa,Cuba ... to pick their sides in the UN, and when they were questioned about the matter they seemed to know anything about the region !!! Algeria created this crisis, Algeria fund terrorist organizations to destabilize the region ( latest CIA reports ). Sahara was and still Moroccan, Algerian military regime still hate on Morocco for their prosperous development and their 0 drop of oil Economy

    Please do not accept this as the truth. There are two sides to every story and Vice has only interviewd one extreme side of the story. Fact is that sahrawi are moroccan and are living in Morocco in freedom. For example the father of the president of the POLISARIO is against the POLISARIO and lives in freedom and prosperity in Morocco.

      So using your example: you should also listen to the scottish man. But the example is not a good one because scots have a history of self determination. Saharawi was and is alway a part of Morocco. Just lookup the Almoravid dynasty. Which was a Moroccan dynasty.

    The Western Sahara Territory issue is a very complex one. It should be treated with professionalism. In a conflict, when a journalist repeats words, expressions, views...of one side, he takes aside. A journalist should use "according to" more than once to not misled watchers/readers. Being under the spell of one side isn't about journalism, it's about adversiting editorial. This very young lady has no knowledge on the Western Sahara issue. She has no idea about the genesis of the issue in a context of cold war. She has no idea about the role of Algeria and the USSR block in the issue. She has no idea about the will of the Western Saharawi. She has no idea about the situation on the ground, the sufferings of Tindouf camps inhabitants when they revolt, the food/water blackmail by Polisario leaders to keep the Saharawi quite ...She missed an occasion to talk to persecuted people in Polisario Front camps.

    I was wondering what kind of slant I was receiving in this documentary, but it became quite clear after 20 minutes that this documentary's not interested in presenting any nuanced understanding of truth. The Polisario Front is every bit as involved in drug trafficking in the Western Sahara as the so-called terrorists, Moroccans, or anybody else in the region. So of course they're gonna establish an anti-terrorist task force -- the terrorists are cutting into one of their most lucrative markets. As arms traffickers, the Polisario Front also perpetuates and profits from the very regional instability they allegedly resent. Come on Vice, either respect the intellect of your viewers or openly admit you have no problem prostituting yourself for pseudo-edgy stories.

      *On 15 October, a UN visiting mission sent by the General Assembly to tour the region and investigate the political situation published its findings, showing that the Sahrawi population were "overwhelmingly" in favor of independence from both Spain and Morocco/Mauritania. These findings were submitted to the Court, who published their opinion the next day.*
      For the former question, the Court decided by a vote of 13 to three that the court could make a decision on the matter, and unanimously voted that at the time of colonization (defined as 28 November 1884), the territory was not terra nullius (that is, the territory, did belong to someone).
      For the latter question, the Court decided by a vote of 14 to two that it would decide. It was of the opinion, by 14 votes to two, that there were legal ties of allegiance between this territory and the Kingdom of Morocco. Furthermore, it was of opinion, by 15 votes to one, that there were legal ties between this territory and the "Mauritanian entity". However, the Court defined the nature of these legal ties in the penultimate paragraph of its opinion, and declared *that neither legal tie implied sovereignty or rightful ownership over the territory.* These legal ties also did not apply to "self-determination through the free and genuine expression of the will of the peoples of the Territory."

Let go and move on, Morocco is never going to win unless they ethically cleanse the Sahrawi people completely although I wouldn't anything past those Moroccan bastards!
    Bravo to Algeria for offering refuge to a displaced and oppressed people, it's a shame they have to keep "good" relations with their neighbours otherwise they could take back SADR by force and put the Polisario front in power until Morocco backs down so these people can have the country that is rightfully theirs.

The harrier Aircraft or Jump Jet (1969) still in use by US military, expected to retire by 2025.

Example, Morocco subsidizes many necessary items such as water wheat fuel and much more for the Sahrawi people, if Morocco was to just come up and leave it will ruin the lives of the loyal Sahrawi people for a few rebels.

      instead of this biased propaganda that claims "Sahrawis are being opressed by Morocco" why don't you go see for yourself and literally just type "Laayoune" or "Dakhla" and you'll see the difference between a modern civilized cities where the Government has poured billions and billions of dollars over the years on in it's road,education,power, network, and financial infrastructure to fully integrate the Southern regions to the rest of the more industrialised Northern regions and compare them to other east to the wall cities that are basically inhabitable and look like they're from the middle ages with 0 infrastructure.
      and wdym that we should "allow" more buisnesses investment and trade in SADR region ?
      like dude who's stoping them ? literally no one !! These people and their propaganda are making it seem like Morocco is shooting down any living organism that comes in a 10km radius to the walls where a billion mines planted there but ofc that's far from reality.
      I mean you've seen the video yourself when the protestors came less than 100m close to the walls trying to provoke those guards and the latter didn't do anything because 1st we've had a ceasefire since 1991, 2nd nobody is shooting unarmed civilians because we're not isra*lis and the UN is watching.
      also this self proclaimed "country" and its "government" can't do anything on their own heck they've only been living through Forgein help and being refugee in algeria all their lives.
      like seriously ? it's been 40 years since we've built those walls and you're telling me that in the 20% of the western Sahara that they control, they couldn't build one single modern city and all they do is claim that they're trying to free the "opressed" people of laayoune ?? lmao just say you wish you had a Moroccan citizenship so that you'll be welcome there.

      In 2011, leaked United States diplomatic cables revealed that the territory is somewhat of an economic burden for Morocco;[97] the Moroccan US$800 million subsidy program to Western Sahara was said to be one of the larger per-capita aid programs in history.[97] Supporting life in a territory with scarce freshwater resources is extremely costly. For example, all drinking water for the city of Laayoune comes from desalinization facilities and costs 3 US dollars per cubic meter but is sold at the national price of 0.0275 US dollars; the difference is paid for by the government of Morocco.[97] Fuel is sold at half the price, and basic goods are heavily subsidized;[97] businesses operating in the territory do not pay taxes.[97] All of this is done to keep the balance of Western Sahara's finances.[97] The territory is otherwise thought to be economically unviable and unable to support its population without the Moroccan subsidies.[98] The cable concluded that the territory is unlikely ever to be of any economic benefit for Morocco, even if offshore oil fields were to be discovered and exploited.[97]
      Due to the disputed nature of Moroccan sovereignty over the territory, the application of international accords to Western Sahara is highly ambiguous. Political leadership of trade agreement signatories such as the United States (US-Morocco Free Trade Agreement) and Norway (European Free Trade Association trade accord) have made statements as to these agreements' non-applicability - although practical policy application is ambiguous.

      And then civil war broke out in 1922 between france,spain and the berbers from the north. Why? Bcoz the berbers of that time wanted to unite and form an independent state( by abdelkrim al gatabbi). The berbers won :-) they kicked the spanish front and the french republican army out of morocco and now we arabs and berbers live in peace and we hope that there won't be another civil war.

    Never in my life seen such a one sided biased report. At least, to add some credibility, you could've mentioned the Moroccan point of view.
    The conflict is not about independence, it's an outdated conflict that takes its origins from the cold war, and the polisario is nothing but a proxy militia hiding Algerians interests and an imaginary rivalry, that takes place only in the minds of the military Junta whose ruling Algeria with an Iron fist.
    There are two sides, the algerian sides, so called refugees, waiting for charity to have food while they have rockets, tanks and unlimited arsenal of weaponry, the Moroccan side where the Sahraouis are considered as citizens and have thier full rights and obligations within the Moroccan state.

      Why not referendum as mandated by the UN?

      @@kazearaki853 1.Since the beginning of this so called problem, Algeria was never ready to propose nor accept a final solution, that would make the hostilities of its militia stop. The aim was always either to set a foot to the atlantic ocean via the creation of a pseudo sahraoui republic, or creating a problem for morocco that would halt its development, and those are realities uttered by algerian officials throughout history. Why not a referendum? When algeria was in an internal civil war during the 90s, a ceasefire was reached and an agreement to organise a referendum, but the issue was who is eligible to vote in it? Algeria brought people from Mauritania and the Touareg tribes to increase the population and poach the vote to its favour, besides they were always stalling and refusing a head count by U.N officials to the people in the refugee camps, which is still a reality until this very moment...

      @@kazearaki853 2.Due to all that was mentioned above, in 2007, to shake some ground into the issue, and outmanoeuvre algerian officials, Morocco proposed to the U.N its initiative of autonomy to the moroccan sahara under the sovereignty of Morocco. The answer of algeria and its polisario proxies was total rejection. Hence, Morocco moved on and continued the development to its southern provinces, so now they have become better than algerian cities, whereas, the sahraoui people emprisonned in those camps still lives on tents, charites and depotism. The success of the Moroccan model was even witnessed in this year election, where the highest participation rates were registered in the Sahara, a fact verified and proven by independant international observers.

      @manolios yeah sort off, both sides have fired rockets at eachother but no casualties and things are calm now, and if we're going to talk about winning it's the Moroccan army because polisario has literally 0 chance against Morocco, it's just that the United Nations doesn't want Morocco to intervene.
