| Summary/Abstract |
Western Sahara is rich in phosphates and natural resources, a main reason Morocco has summarily annexed it. In doing so, however, Morocco has ignored the rights of the Sahrawis, fighting a silent war for independence over the last 40 years. Hannah Rae Armstrong examines how Morocco has illegally exploited the territory for its resources and argues that if the international community does not respond, the Sahrawi may be forced to take up arms once again.
