Just a quick comment here. Western Sahara is usually described as a "territory administered by Morocco", but this is only partly true. While Morocco controls most of the territory, and pretty much all the productive areas, the Polisario controls between a quarter and a third of the territory, in what is referred to by the exiled Sahrawi in the Algerian camps as the "Free Zone". So Western Sahara is effectively partitioned, with the Polisario actually governing a reasonable amount of territory. Morocco tries to play this fact down, as the existence of the Free Zone makes their claims to sovereignty over all of Western Sahara look less than watertight, and raises questions about the viability of their "Autonomy Plan", which is a means of getting the international community to endorse their occupation in exchange for some (no doubt very) limited "self-government". The fate of the Free Zone is never discussed - presumably it would either be invaded (sparking a new conflict in the region) or left as a rump Polisario-run state, which would mean the conflict still festered (in effect, nothing would really change). I work in the Free Zone (doing archaeological and environmental research) and have blogged about this issue on the Sand & Dust blog (nickbrooks.wordpress.com) - see http://nickbrooks.wordpress.com/2007/07/13/western-sahara-the-partition/ if you're interested. Anyway, happy travels, and good luck! Hi. Just a quick comment here. Western Sahara is usually described as a “territory administered by Morocco”, but this is only partly true.
