The Souss, Anti Atlas & Western Sahara © Lonely Planet Publications 373 The Souss, Anti Atlas & Western Sahara ﺳﻮ ﺍﻷﻃﻠﺲ ﺍﻟﺼﻐﻴﺮ ﻭ ﺍﻟﺼﺤﺮﺍء ﺍﻟﻐﺮﺑﻴّﺔ The fertile plains, sudden granite mountains and long stretches of pristine beach of Morocco’s southwest corner announce that you are arriving somewhere different. And you are. The Souss and the Anti Atlas are the most geographically varied regions of Morocco and also the most culturally distinct. And as if the vast, challenging nature of the landscape has had a softening effect on the character of the people, the sort of hassle visitors can suffer elsewhere in Morocco, is rare here, while the hospitality is legendary. The Souss plain, with red-walled Taroudannt at its centre, is one of Morocco’s most important agricultural zones. To the south lies the Anti Atlas, not as challenging as the High Atlas, but less visited and with plenty worth visiting, including the contorted slopes of Jebel Bani, prehistoric rock carvings in the Akka Oasis and the idyllically peaceful Ameln Valley. On the coast, Agadir is both the principal port of the south and Morocco’s premier beach resort. The glorious coast runs hundreds of kilometres south, past nature reserves, the art-deco splendours of Sidi Ifni and the tiny town of Tarfaya. Further south, the Western Sahara is a vast, desolate and lightly populated tract of hammada (stony desert). Inhabited by free-spirited Saharawis, fishing communities and industrious Moroc- cans, it is a hotly disputed territory and is watched over by the ever-present security forces.

STRATEGIC STUDIES INSTITUTE The Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) is part of the U.S. Army War College and is the strategic-level study agent for issues relat- ed to national security and military strategy with emphasis on geostrategic analysis. The mission of SSI is to use independent analysis to conduct strategic studies that develop policy recommendations on: • Strategy, planning, and policy for joint and combined employment of military forces; • Regional strategic appraisals; • The nature of land warfare; • Matters affecting the Army’s future; • The concepts, philosophy, and theory of strategy; and, • Other issues of importance to the leadership of the Army. Studies produced by civilian and military analysts concern topics having strategic implications for the Army, the Department of Defense, and the larger national security community. In addition to its studies, SSI publishes special reports on topics of special or immediate interest. These include edited proceedings of conferences and topically-oriented roundtables, expanded trip reports, and quick-reaction responses to senior Army leaders. The Institute provides a valuable analytical capability within the Army to address strategic and other issues in support of Army participation in national security policy formulation.

It extends between the eastern Canary Islands and the Western Africa continental margin. Seafloor morphology of this passage has been analyzed with the aim to know the morphogenetic processes related to both the oceanography and the geology. Multibeam bathymetric data and high and very high resolution seismic profiles obtained in the SUBVENT2 cruise have been used. Five main morphological groups were analyzed: (a) Volcanic or diapiric submarine hills; (b) Tectonic features on the continental

    dmumdraw me a sheep A TRAVELING UNIVERSAL ART INSTALLATION RÉGIS GRANVILLE, VISUAL ARTIST Genesis Art brings human hearts together beyond differences of origins, nationalities, religions and customs. Love, yesterday, today, tomorrow and for always. Régis Granville from left to right: Tarfaya airfield (formerly Cape Juby) – former Cape Juby trading post Morocco, 1 February 2017 Paris/Casablanca/Laâyoune/Tarfaya. Traveling with a small group of 4 collaborators from the project, , Celina, Claire, Kira and Thierry, we depart Laâyoune by taxi, and drive through the Western Sahara along a coastal road on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. After a hundred kilometres, we arrive at the end of our journey… and at the end of the road. In front of us, far south of the major centres, between desert and ocean, the town of Tarfaya takes shape before us. Formerly, the town was called Cape Juby. Saint-Exupéry spent 18 months here in 1927 during his appointment as airfield director. We arrive at the old trading post, founded in 1876 by the British, at high tide. We settle into the Hotel Casamar, located in this historical setting. Our host—Sadat Mrabihrabou, founder of the Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Museum—warmly greets us and together we tour the city including its magnificent cinema, abandoned since 19931. That evening, we are invited to his mother’s home for a traditional family dinner. Our dinner conversations, on the world and on life, are amusing and enlightening. The next day, while filming the documentary meet two Sahrawi wise men, descendants of the nomadic Bedouin of the Western Sahara, as well as a group of Tarfayan women.
