Western Sahara Online is a useful resource for anyone interested in the Western Sahara, as long as you keep in mind that it's written from a pro-SADR point of view. But did you know it also has well done, but strange, political cartoons?The one at left exemplifies what I mean. I get that it's a take-off on, I think, a cream ad. But who is that character? It doesn't help that I can't read French or Arabic.
Whoever he is, Western Sahara Online doesn't trust him. Later, he shows up obscenely squeezed into a skin-tight Superman suit. In this one, he's in background, smirking away. What a character.
They're not all pleasantly baffling, though. This cartoon does a good job of conveying how many people feel about the food aid shortages. It's not clear to me if Western Sahara Online makes all these, or has collected some from other places, but kudos for making them available.
