Bol An exhaustive journey through the contemporary history of Western Sahara and the origin of the conflict that led to its occupation by Morocco. For almost a century, Spain exercised sovereignty over Western Sahara with the consent of the local population. When a referendum on self-determination was scheduled in the 1970s, Morocco, which wanted to annex the country, prevented it by threatening a "civil" invasion while Franco was terminally ill. The government headed by Arias Navarro caved in and agreed to hand over the Sahara to Morocco and Mauritania, betraying the commitments it had made to the Sahrawi people and the UN. The result was a war between the Polisario Front and the new occupiers, which ended with the defeat of Mauritania, the cloistering of the area occupied by Morocco by means of a border of more than 2,000 kilometers, and the condemnation of the Sahrawis to live in exile or under an occupation regime. This book explains the origin of Spain's presence in Western Sahara, the development of life during the time when it was first a colony and then a province "as Spanish as Cuenca," the attempts to grant it autonomy as a preliminary step towards independence, and the unbreakable ties created between the Sahrawis and the Spanish, as well as the current situation of a conflict that, half a century later, has turned Western Sahara into the Palestine of the Maghreb.
