Saharan Nightmare: The Invasion the World Forgot featuring Prof. Jacob Mundy
Manage episode 442690724 series 3370054
Situated on the Mediterranean, just a short distance from Spain and the rest of Europe, Morocco attracts tens of millions of tourists every year. They flock to see the iconic mosques and bazaars. But there's another, much larger structure that you won't find in any tourist guides and is seldom talked about.
It's a 2700 kilometer long barrier wall constructed of dirt and brick that runs through the heart of the Sahara Desert. And for the people living in its shadow, it's a symbol of an ongoing occupation and decades long period of oppression. In this episode, I speak with Jacob Mundi, professor from Colgate University, an expert on the subject of Morocco's illegal decades long occupation of Western Sahara and the refugee crisis it created that now spans generations.
Guest: Prof. Jacob Mundy

I love the fact that they’re not a Wiki: Every article they publish is reviewed by their editorial team, not only for being accurate but also for being interesting to read. The website is run as a non-profit organization, so you won’t be bombarded by annoying ads and it’s completely free. It’s a great site, and don’t just take my word for it they’ve been recommended by many academic institutions including Oxford University.
