To prove that there's always no shortage of interesting little conflicts around the world that most of us don't really know about, here's a good description of the problem in Western Sahara, a territory in North Africa that has been occupied by neighboring Morocco since 1975. While the main focus is on yet another revelation by WikiLeaks about US international affairs, this post gives a decent overview of what basically amounts to colonization, something the writer says in the 2nd to last paragraph. Morocco is ironically one of the more liberal and stable Muslim and North Africa states, unlike sketchy Libya or Egypt or Saudi Arabia, yet what its actions in the Western Sahara go beyond what any of those other states have done.
