He has visited the territory and had access to opposition activists and Moroccan officials. In the refugee camps he interviewed the leadership of Polisario. What emerges is that the fate of the Western Sahara is being moulded by global and regional forces and that it is the Sahrawis under Moroccan rule who are best placed to influence that fate."--Jacket UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/bios/hol059/2003064134.html UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/hol053/2003064134.html ER -
