Part 2: Western Sahara has been under a brutal occupation by its neighbour, Morocco, for decades. And just like in the case of the illegal occupation of Palestine, the Collective West has been super happy to support the occupation for various reasons, mainly because Europe and the US are still colonial states themselves who don't care about international law, human rights, or self-determination as long as they get their share of the booty. Listen to Professor Stephen Zuens explain the conflict and how to use it as definite proof that the Collective West is lying whenever they speak about the special status of Israel. There's really nothing special there. The CW is simply always happy to support settler colonialism when its geopolitical expedient. Dr. Stephen Zunes, is a Professor of Politics and International Studies at the University of San Francisco, where he serves as coordinator of the program in Middle Eastern Studies. He has written several important books on the politics in West Asia and North Africa, among others “Tinderbox: US Foreign Policy and the Roots of Terrorism”, “Sudan’s 2019 Revolution: The Power of Civil Resistance”, and the issue we want to focus on today: “Western Sahara: War, Nationalism, and Conflict Irresolution”.
