question about the recent western sahara episode
i just finished the episode with dana el kurd from aug 4th about the morocco occupation of western sahara, and i’m rather confused. i’m probably a more “low information” listener as i didn’t get a great education about the world when i was in school, but i’m trying to catch up by subscribing to podcasts like this one.
would anyone be willing to provide a quick explainer of the background context that the episode is based on? it sounds like there is a territorial dispute meaning that it doesn’t count as a country? also i didn’t really understand towards the end how the guest was getting angry at americans for supporting israel when there’s obviously heaps of protests about that and then also what does that have to do with africa.
please be kind, i swear i paid attention to the episode and i am trying to learn!
