IN AUGUST 2005, President Bush asked me to undertake a diplomatic mission to Algeria and Morocco to facilitate the release of the longest-held prisoners of war in the world: 404 Moroccan soldiers, some of whom had been held since the 1970s by the Polisario Front operating out of Algeria. His 1975 decision to sign an agreement that divided mineral-rich Western Sahara between Mauritania and Morocco sealed his political fate, as Western Sahara separatists, the Polisario Front, fought for independence. The indigenous Saharawi people opposed the claims, forming the Frente POLISARIO and declaring a government in exile (the Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic) from their base in Algeria. |
