This may be very uninteresting to most, but when I was working in Morrocco, this was a big story. I have visited W. Sahara and met with the people and the story is very interesting if you know the area.
On Oct. 31, Morocco's allies on the United Nations Security Council — including France, the United States, and Britain — blocked a motion to condemn human rights abuses against the people of occupied Western Sahara. Despite reports of Morocco's escalating repression of the Saharawi independence movement, the resolution passed by the Security Council merely extended the mandate of the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO), a 15-year-old "peacekeeping" mission that has failed to facilitate a referendum on self determination.
The US is sticking its nose into this dispute and will probably bite them in the ass.
