#WesternSahara is a strip of the desert bordered by the Pacific Ocean fought over between Morocco and Mauritania following Spain‘s painfully slow withdrawal from its colonial grip. The tribes living there have been put into two massive refugee camps, so massive they‘ve become cities unto themselves. This paper looks at the current situation and its history. I opted to read the 600+ page esample rather than buying the rest because I felt like ⬇️

Texreader I learned a massive amount this slice of land that I‘d never have known otherwise (& happy to have done so), but a paper I‘d never read again. Also, I‘ve read so much of it that I‘m giving it a thumbs up, rather than a bail. #readingafrica2022 (edited) 2y
BarbaraBB Quite an achievement 👌🏽 2y
Librarybelle Wow! I think noting it as a completion after 600+ pages makes perfect sense! 2y

I‘ve decided to read this book for #WesternSahara, which is 2/3 shorter than the previous one I picked and it describes the current situation there after the Spanish abandoned the land allowing the Moroccans and Mauritanians to swoop in and throw the native tribes into refugee camps. It is the most modern of colonial disasters. Spain abandoned the land only in the mid-1970s! I‘ve already learned a lot. #readingafrica2022

I‘ve spent the evening scouring Amazon for free ebooks for #readingafrica2022. Some are free with a Prime subscription and some through a Kindle Unlimited subscription. Countries covered from top to bottom: #Réunion, #WesternSahara, #Mauritania, and #Seychelles. @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB

BarbaraBB Thanks for sharing this! 2y
