Western Sahara ( VESTSAHARA)
Africa's last colony
In 1963, the United Nations (UN) included Western Sahara in the list of countries to be decolonized and asserted the
right of the Saharawi people to self-determination. In 1966 the UN, for the first time, passed a resolution calling for this
self-determination to be exercised by a referendum. On 31 October 1975, Morocco and Mauritania invaded Western
Sahara as Spain (the former colonial power) looked on. The Saharawi people were expelled from their homes by force,
including the use of napalm. In 1991 the United Nations brokered a ceasefire and agreed to organize a referendum in
which the Saharawi people could vote on the future of Western Sahara. Morocco still refuses to allow UN sponsored
referendum to take place.
