From the Black Prison to Occupied Territories: The Sahara's Forgotten War (Part 4)

[@crackage12567]

That's absoloutely shocking. This series has been really educational, I had no idea any of this was going on.

[@Salaheddine020]

This is completely bias. Have you heard 1 just 1 moroccan voice in these videos? NO! To reach a conclusion you have to at least hear the other side. The Polisario have also captured Moroccans and imprisoned and tortured them. There are plenty of sahrawi's who support Moroccans and who feel Moroccan. Even the father of the Polisario president is anti-polisario. He supports Morocco and feels moroccan. Shame on you VICE for not telling the Moroccan story! SHAME ON YOU!

[@nmn335]

***** show the link please

[@xXTocsinXx]

Salaheddine020 i think the reason why they haven't shown a Moroccan to get their point on this situation is because the media isn't allowed in Morocco. though i could be completely wrong. sure its one side of the story but it is for the reason that the other side doesn't allow media.

[@Salaheddine020]

xXTocsinXx Well the media is not totally free in Morocco I agree. But Moroccans are well aware of this situation and still continue to support a Moroccan Sahara. Western media have portrayed the Sahara question again and a again. But this is the first time the Moroccan argument is not relevant at all. It is like interviewing nazi's without asking America about their story. Also what is wrong is that most of the people in the world know nothing about this issue. Upon seeing this video they will accept this bias message as a truth.

[@xXTocsinXx]

Salaheddine020 that is true. but either way you look at it. occupation is wrong weather its Morocco or any other country.

[@rock3tcatU233]

Listen what happened to these people is unacceptable, but even then it is better for the Western Sahara to stay part of Morocco. What are they going to do if they are independent? The WS on its own has no economic viability. Just join forces with Morocco and share your strengths instead of continuously trying to divide the Islamic world even further.

[@Borjigin.]

Their people have shown they can survive with the most basic resources. And another one of these videos talked about how Morocco makes a lot of money off fishing and resources in the WS.

[@ayouberrami3133]

+Borjigin you think they gonna profit from that fishing? it's all gonna go to those GENERALS who are pushing them from behind the scenes.

[@ayouberrami3133]

[@Salaheddine020]

You will never get our land. The Moroccan Sahara will be Moroccan until the end of times. Come and join Khalili Ben Mohamed Al-Bachir Rguibi, the father of the polisario president. The polisario's presidents father lives in Morocco with a part of his family and is a member of the Royal Advisory Council for Saharan Affairs. We love our Moroccan sahrawi brothers!

fake news

[@issam2901]

the problem with these documentaries is that they show you one side of the story.....I imagine as the second world War you can't know who is right germans or americans until you hear both sides of the stories.This is not journalism.Every side has its own story.So please before judging do hear what moroccans have to tell.

[@issam2901]

+Adil Belmokaddem Thanks for letting me know! Next time I'll make sure that no one gets raped...Oooh is this the video about the Sahara? I don't follow

[@issam2901]

+Adil Belmokaddem look man, I'm saying that no matter what you should be objective this serie about the Sahara is not because it doesn't show Morocco point of view.....I have my own opinions you do too and I respect that but this kind of journalism I don't like. I don't like to be manipulated by the press by showing us what they want us to believe.

[@adilbelmokaddem6667]

Issam Mani They're telling nothing more but the truth, as an Algerian I've never looked into this matter, but after watching the photos of beating and torture I understand now what kind of quest these sahrawi people stand for. salam

[@edwardbernayse6665]

was part 3 too graphic for you tube? i didn't see it on the playlist. they did the same thing with the coverage of mali and when i looked it up on another service, it was the most graphic war coverage that i have ever seen in my whole life.

[@RiotHouseLP]

I remember being a tourist back in my high schools years in 1997. I was in Morroco because it was an option on my tour of Spain. I remember they did not let us take any pictures whatsoever. Being an American I took photos anyways for as many times as I could get away with it ;). There was lots of poverty, little children rushing groups of tourists to sell them anything and everything, oh man and the fish market was....a sensory overload. I was 16 at the time and that was my first real experience of utter poverty up close and personal, it was pretty shocking to me at the time, now however I recognize it as the norm for much of the world. When they say there is a media blackout they are correct, it goes back at least from my knowledge to 1997 probably much longer than that.

[@OuBnl]

Euh .. Poverty exists everywhere , yet here in Morocco , there are no corpses in the subway station , no killing of black people by the police , no homeless people at every corner of every street , no bigot and misogynistic president ( Trump) , no cannibals nor serial killers ( Jeffrey Dahmer , ed gein ...) , no school shootings .... like your dear America !

[@amountoutank6176]

You see my friend, colonialism is imposing us to buy very very expensive American and western weapons to fight for problems created by colonialism itself, American can have good salaries in the factories that made the weapons, F35, F16,.... And the people of our lands have to fight with these weapons against Russian weapons used by Algerians. This is the game. Continue enjoying but don't forget, poor people in the US choked me too, in New York or Miami or LA. They are in worst situation compared to ours.

[@BahirAd]

Morocco made huge investments in Western Sahara with entire cities rising from the ground like Dakhla, Boujdor, a large chunk of Laayoun (all initially sparsely populated tent camps...), roads, Infrastructure etc. Out of 5 Million people today in Western Sahara only 250K people are native Sahraouis the rest aka more than 4,75 Million are mainland Moroccans industrious people who created businesses and built everything around there... this whole shtick is like rooting for an independent Bedouin republic in the Negev desert in Israel or having native american tribes take over the US or Canada...

[@omarchk]

I am a big fan and follower of Vice media. I just discovered this series Honestly I find this work very amateur as it doesn't have research depth it sounds more like the journalist opinion than looking at the issue This conflict is more complex than it was advertised and I expected to see the origin of the conflict and why we are at this situation today I would agree that the violence is very bad and both sides did enough of atrocities.BUT the pictures or prisons and videos of police in this video were not taken in the Sahara Another remark is about one of the interviewees stated that before there was no borders and they could whereever they can go... Does it mean everywhere in the whole desert? How can a nomad living between Morocco and Sudan claim that specific part of Sahara and not another part ... I guess that was not covered by the journalist ?! I hope you Vice people review/proof

Because western sahara was a Spanish province (not a colony) they had full rights as any other spanish citizen

[@brakaponter7386]

Many of them speak spanish because until 1975 was a spanish colony, after that many went to study to Spain and Cuba, and every summer thousands of saharaui childs come to Spain to spend the summer with spanish families. It is very emotiv seeing them coming. We spaniards support them 100%. We want a Free Western Sahara. It is our historic obligation to them.

"I love Moroccan oil (hair product) even if its over priced. I also love Moroccan shoes." That's what came to mind whenever I ran across the country on a Mediterranean map. This video, similar to bird poop, was unexpected.

[@samuelbrennan1525]

The UN can't get the scope on the situation and effectively resolve the problem because the Moroccan government "doesn't allow the monitoring of human rights" in western sahara. The UN needs to act by forcing the Moroccan government lift this ban on monitoring and then send UN investigators to see the level of human rights abuse there is and stop the occupation peacefully.

[@christianramos3689]

why? The everytime the US does something people hate them regardless. If the US doesn't do anything they are still painted the bad guys for doing nothing. Its stupid. Yet everybody goes crying to the US for aid and Military help and then denounce them once they get what they want. I say the US should save all the money they spend on foreign aid and military defense in the Pacific in Japan, Korea, and in Europe and from all those billions and billions of dollars they save; invest it back in their infrastructure. It would make current western would countries look like third world ones. Take for example. Germany has an awesome infrastructure and economy, why they spend money on them selves and their country. How? they only spend less than 2% of their GDP on their defense. The reason they do that is because the US Army is their acting as their deterrent. Once the US military leaves, That will force them to take funds from social projects and increase the defense budget. See what i mean. US money stays in the US. Simple way of advancing

[@LawnGnomePower]

Edgar Cano Although the situation is kinda sad, it's not the U.S.'s problem. It all sound good and all, but why should someone die for a foreign man's cause? I am pretty sure that most people in Western Sahara wouldn't want to fight for the U.S.
