A 1988 study by political scientist Pierre Hugo documented the widespread fears among South African whites that a transition to majority mie would entail not only a loss of political power and socioeconomic status, but engendered "physical dread" and fear of "violence, total collapse, expulsion and flight." Successive surveys showed that four out of five whites thought that majority rule would threaten their "physical safety." Such fears were frequently heightened by common racist tropes of inherently savage and violent Africans, but the departure of more than a million white colons from Algeria and the airlifting of 300,000 whites from Angola during decolonization set terrifying precedents ("Towards darkness and death: racial demonology. in South Africa," The Journal of Modem African S...

Africa's misery and its turmoil(s) can easily be traced directly to centuries of exploitation, colonialism, imperialism, oppression, repression, murder and theft primarily by Europe, Britain, and America (the West). The conditions that exist today on the continent are the direct and indirect effects derived from causes that were put in place by the raping, pillaging, colonialism and the imperialistic ravages committed by Europe, Britain and America. Africa is aptly described the world's richest continents in natural resources, yet the conditions and the poverty of its people are staggering-beyond the imagination-riddled with disease, deprivation, wars, hunger and killings. And that raises the questions: why and how? History shines a light on the genesis and the continuation of the cause...

Insurgencies since World War II have worn down their enemies and then prevailed - with one major exception: Malaya (communist insurgency 1948-1960) before it became Malaysia. Iraq, where the final results will not be known until after U.S. troops leave everything to Iraq security forces, may become the second. In 1946, the French in Indochina were up against a communist insurgency in decolonization disguise - and after eight years of guerrilla warfare were defeated at Dienbienphu in 1954, which clinched victory for North Vietnam's Marxist republic. Six months after Dienbienphu, the French army faced a nationalist insurgency in Algeria, which was then an integral part of metropolitan France - and after eight years of fighting conceded defeat and agreed to the forced exile of 1 million Fr...
The colonial histories of the Arab Maghrib in North Africa written by the French have focused on the role of France as providing civilization and progress, while the nationalist books in the 1950s and 1960s have considered the reverse to be true. However, the two opposing views are unable to truly capture the true essence of their colonial histories. The colonial history of Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt should be viewed from a stand point that is independent of the French and nationalist versions of it.

Algeria allied itself to Polisario; up until the mid-1980s a regional organization, the Organization of African Unity (since 1999, the African Union), tried to broker a solution; and since the late 1980s the United Nations security Council has elaborated a plan for a referendum that the UN Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) was to oversee and implement. The book is divided into 12 chapters, in which all the different dimensions are extensively treated: the international and the regional context; the economic cost of Morocco's military occupation and annexation; the economic potential of the territory in terms of natural resources; living conditions in Western Sahara and Tindouf; political repression that Sahrawis suffered, especially under King Hasan II; events in W...
