Polisario Front soldiers carry a rocket during an attack against Morocco, near Mehaires, Western Sahara, Thursday, Oct. 14, 2021. After 30 years of ceasefire, the Polisario Front has taken up arms again in its quest for an independent Western Sahara. The flaring up of the conflict is fueled by frustration among new generations of Sahrawi refugees who believe that the wait for a referendum on self-determination, as promised by the United Nations, has only played on Morocco's benefit while their lives languished in the unforgiving desert camps.
