.VIRTUALLY HALF A CENTURY have actually passed given that Morocco declared prepotence over Western side Sahara, a piece of land that goes for 900km along the Atlantic coastline to the nation's south. The Polisario Front-- a protection group backed through Algeria, Morocco's long-lasting competitor, and also standing for the territory's aboriginal population, the Sahrawi-- is still defending command.

Algeria withdrew its emissary to France in reaction.
