The War in the Western Sahara.

Abstract

This paper is an excellent account of the War in the Western Sahara. After an extensive accounting of the history of Morocco, the author develops the recent issues surrounding the ongoing conflict between Morocco and Algeria. The author outlines Boumedienne's strategic goals and his unavowed objectives. He posits that Morocco enjoys a most significant geostrategic position at the crossroad of two continents and two water bodies and is in fact considered to be the stumbling block in Moscow's strategy of encirclement of Europe from the south. The authority concludes with recommendations for both military & political solutions for the Western Sahara conflict.
