Speaker: Alice Wilson, University of Cambridge
Chair: John King, Society for Algerian Studies
The outbreak of the 2011 uprisings marked the 35th year of the conflict over Western Sahara, Africa’s last decolonization case. The international community has so far failed to produce a political climate conducive to the resolution of the conflict. In this talk, Alice Wilson analyses changes that have been recently enacted on the ground by Sahrawis both in Western Sahara and in the refugee camps in Algeria where exiled Sahrawis live. Recorded on 22 January 2014.
