Western Sahara: a Forgotten War. For 16 years, the guerrillas of Polisario fought a bloody battle with Moroccan soldiers for the Western Sahara. In 1991, the fighting stopped and the territory's inhabitants, the Saharawis, were supposed to decide their future in a referendum. But the voting process has been repeatedly delayed, leaving the conflict unresolved and 170,000 Saharawis as refugees in the Algerian desert.
