Scholar and policy analyst Stephen Zunes offers an incisive analysis of the current situation in the Western Sahara in October's issue of Z Magazine. In an interview he examines the long history of U.S. and French support for Morocco's brutal occupation and repression of the Sahrawis. He offers suggestions on how to build solidarity for the indigenous people of Western Sahara in pushing for the U.S. and the United Nations to actively work for a referendum on independence in the occupied region. More information on the struggle and actions being taken to support Sahrawis bid for independence can be found at www.friendsofthewesternsahara.org.
