Talk:Laâyoune-Boujdour-Sakia El Hamra

What POV dispute?

How exactly is there a POV dispute? The article consists of four sentences, none of which seem biased. Mr. Lefty _{Talk to me!} 19:20, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Exactly This is what I'm saying. But one user, who is currently banned for a few hours, User:SteveLo, seems to think that the term "occupation" is POV. I'd definitely like to here his argument, but he refuses to comment. If he doesn't, I'll just remove the template. -Justin (koavf), talk, mail 19:30, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

My argument is that all UN security council, and UN General Assembly resolutions, as well as UN Secretary General reports on Western Sahara, define Morocco and The Polisario front as the two belligerent sides of the conflict. The SADR is the self-declared republic that does not enjoy recognition from any international organism elsewhere that the African Union. "A" in SADR stands for "Arab" but it is not recognized by the Arab league as an Arab country. So it is safe to say that the conflict opposes Morocco an the Polisario front, but not SADR. --SteveLo 18:13, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Government and state The SADR is a government that exercises control over some territory with a population, and is recognized as a state by several dozen governments and the African Union (including several Arab states.) If there is a dispute over control, it is between these two governments, not the Kingdom of Morocco and Polisario. The (armed) conflict between those entities has been under a cease-fire for 15 years. -Justin (koavf), talk, mail 18:21, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

SADR: The international community speaks of "legal status of territory and issue of sovereignty unresolved; territory contested by Morocco and Polisario Front (Popular Front for the Liberation of the Saguia el Hamra and Rio de Oro)," as stated in the CIA actbook, Western Sahara entry, in addition to what I wrote above. Again, forget about the recognitions, they were more than 70 in the eighties, and are around 40 today. Some questions I hope you answer honestly: why is the SADR "government" and the "president" seated in Algeria? why do they not move to the territory they control, the free zone, the liberated? Instead of receiving guests in his tent near Tindouf, why not in Bir Lahlou?. Yasser Arafat Moved to settle in Gaza, nothing compared to the liberated free SADR territories, why doesn't Abdelaziz do the same? --SteveLo 00:07, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

SADR The SADR is seated in Algeria because Western Sahara is under military occupation from Morocco. The territory they control is even less fit for sustaining human life than Tindouf. I know if I was in the Sahara - one of the most inhospitable regions in the world for life - I would try to make what little accomodations I could for ensuring the safety of a massive refugee population. Abdelaziz lives in the same modest huts as do all Sahrawi: in the camps. -Justin (koavf), talk, mail 02:22, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
