Western Sahara.
Another story of postcolonial greed. Fight for resources, fuck the people (and call them terrorists when they fight for their own land).
Once saw a docu on that, it's horrifying, not least because so few people are aware.
Please also be aware that when you buy produce from Morocco, esp. tomatoes iirc, it's likely to be grown in Western Sahara in a very exploitative way.
Thanks for making it a YSK (but imho Western Sahara should be in the title).
Please watch this.

"Moroccan-occupied Western Sahara"
As a Moroccan, I don't need to read any further than the first line. Sahara is part of Morocco, not occupied by it. So for me the rest should be is not very credible.
On 10 December 2020, US President Donald Trump proclaimed that the United States recognized Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara.
