Drawing a Line in the Sand
The Western Sahara
From: Walls
$3.60
This chapter focuses on the berm/’Wall of Shame" in the Western Sahara, which has a long history but which was completed in 1987 and is still manned by Moroccan troops and watched over by UN peacekeepers. The berm, as the Wall is often called, is the longest and oldest still-functioning security barrier in the world. The wall’s history and politics are explored, and first-hand accounts of life around the wall (particularly from the perspective of the Saharawis) and of its impact are detailed.
