Inside Morocco's Secret War for Western Sahara

Running through Western Sahara is a 2,700-kilometre sand wall, the Berm, guarded by around 130,000 Moroccan soldiers and surrounded by one of the densest minefields on earth. Most people have never seen it.

Inside Morocco’s Secret War for Western Sahara explains how Spain promised the Saharawi people a vote on their future fifty years ago, how the territory was invaded instead, and why the referendum never happened.

The video also looks at what is at stake: phosphate reserves, rich fishing waters and wind and solar power, all exploited without the consent of the people who live there.
