  • June 29~ 1979
    June 29~ 1979 Dear Friends: Enclosed is a report of my recent trip to the Western Sahara, the .former Spanish Sahara. This is an area which is only beginning to be known more widely in the United States. I hope that my report will add to some understanding in what is happening there. If you have not seen the report of my colleague, Rich Knight, who was in the area for the 3rd Anniversary of the Saharan Arab Democratic Republic in late February and early March, we would be glad to· send one to you.

Houser I returned only recently from a visit to the Western Sahara, the former colonial Spanish Sahara. I was there two weeks (May S- 20, 1979) under the auspice of POLISARIO, the liberation movement in the territory. This was the most recent of frequent trips to Africa covering 2S years. I consider the two weeks spent with POLISARIO among the most memorable trips I have had over all these years. It was adventure in a political context.

  • Report of the Secretary-General on the Situation of Western
    United Nations S/2020/938 Security Council Distr.: General 23 September 2020 Original: English Situation concerning Western Sahara Report of the Secretary-General I. Introduction 1. The present report is submitted pursuant to Security Council resolution 2494 (2019), by which the Council extended the mandate of the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) until 31 October 2020 and requested me to submit a report on the situation in Western Sahara before the end of the mandate period. The report covers developments until 31 August 2020 that have occurred since the issuance of my previous report of 2 October 2019 (S/2019/787) and describes the situation on the ground, the status of political negotiations on Western Sahara, the implementation of resolution 2494 (2019) and the existing challenges to the Mission’s operations and steps taken to address them. II. Recent developments 2. Overall calm prevailed in Western Sahara on both sides of the berm. While respect for the ceasefire agreement by both parties generally continued, there was a notable decline in compliance with the terms of military agreement No. 1, particularly east of the berm. 3. The impact of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic on Western Sahara was moderate west of the berm. Following early and thorough preventive and containment measures by Morocco, this part of the Territory witnessed only a handful of cases until 30 May. At that point, a significant outbreak was detected in the area of Laayoune. As at 31 August, the number of active cases in Laayoune was 41. The Frente Popular para la Liberación de Saguía el-Hamra y Río de Oro (Frente POLISARIO) reported taking strict measures to prevent the spread of the virus east of the berm, where no cases were officially reported.

  • House of Representatives Subcommittee on Africa Hearings on the Conflict in Western Sahara and U
    House of Representatives Subcommittee on Africa Hearings on the Conflict in Western Sahara and U. S. Policy Statement by Professor Anne Lippert, Ohio Northern University, Ada, Ohio July 23, 1979 Mr. Chairman: (I have visited the refugee camps of the Saharawis of Western Sahara (in the area around Tindouf, Algeria) three times. I spent two weeks in the camps in 1977, ten days in 1978. This summer I traversed part of the Saharan Arab Democratic Republic (the former Spanish Sahara) during a ten day period.) The Saharan Arab Democratic Republic is a territory about 110,000 square miles, approximately the size of Colorado, or about one half the size of France and just slightly smaller than Italy. Spanish colonizers gave 75,000 persons as the population, but there are reasons to believe that that num­ ber is considerably less than the actual population. Reasons for the dis­ crepancy include the following: 1) a largely nomadic population during the Spanish protectorate; 2) Spanish efforts (aided by France and Morocco in the 1950's) at repression of the Saharawis in the 1950's and 1960's which caused a good many of the Saharawis to flee to Mauritania, southern Morocco, Algeria and the Canaries; 3) Spain's desire to retain the territory (lack of a suf­ ficient population is still being used today as an argument for approval of Morocco's invasion of the territory). There are presently over 100,000 Sa­ harawis in the refugee camps near Tindouf, Algeria (persons who fled to that area from the S.A.D.R.

  • Report of the Secretary-General on the Situation of Western
    United Nations S/2018/889 Security Council Distr.: General 3 October 2018 Original: English Situation concerning Western Sahara Report of the Secretary-General I. Introduction 1. The present report is submitted pursuant to Security Council resolution 2414 (2018), by which the Council extended the mandate of the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) until 31 October 2018 and requested me to submit a report on the situation in Western Sahara before the end of the mandate period. It covers developments that have occurred since the issuance of my previous report, of 29 March 2018 (S/2018/277), and describes the situation on the ground, the status and progress of the political negotiations on Western Sahara, the implementation of resolution 2414 (2018) and the existing challenges to the Mission’s operations and steps taken to address them. II. Recent developments 2. During the period since the issuance of my previous report, overall calm has prevailed throughout the Territory on both sides of the berm, although the previously reported underlying tensions between the parties (ibid., para. 3) continue. 3. On the political front, my Personal Envoy for Western Sahara, Horst Koehler, has stepped up efforts to advance the political negotiations between the parties. Following the adoption of resolution 2414 (2018), he undertook consultations with relevant interlocutors, including Security Council members, members of the Group of Friends on Western Sahara and regional organizations. From 23 June to 1 July 2018, he carried out a second visit to the region, during which he held discussions with a wide range of high-level officials of both the parties and neighbouring States and civil society representatives.

    The American University in Cairo School of Global Affairs and Public Policy The Limbs Factory: Circuits of Fear and Hope and the Political Imagination on the Western Sahara A Thesis Submitted to Cynthia Nelson Institute for Gender and Women’s Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Gender and Women’s Studies in Middle East/ North Africa Kenza Yousfi Committee members: Dr. Martina Rieker, IGWS, AUC Dr. Hanan Sabea, SAPE, AUC Dr. Nizar Messari, SHSS, AUI May/2015 . Acknowledgments This project would not have been possible without the people who have supported me all the way through the stress, confusion, and passion that enabled me to write. I thank my committee members: Martina, Hanan, and Nizar, for their intellectual engagement and the political horizons they have opened to me throughout the past few years. My friends around the globe, I hope that reading these pages compensate you with the hours of counseling and listening you had to lead me through. Only you could understand my craziness. My family, although very far from sharing any political ideas, I must be thankful for your encouragement and concern of safety even when you did not know where in the world I was. I thank all the Saharawis who wanted to help by all means while I was in the camps. Many thanks for the NUSW for coordinating my stay and providing me with the logistics, and to the family that hosted me like a family member, not a stranger. I owe a particular debt to one person who shall remain unnamed for his own safety, who made my access to the Saharawi camps possible, and who showed a concern about my research and safety.
