Hans Van Baalen's Liberal International report on Western Sahara

The Sahrawis turned me into a lobster!

From April 3rd to 7th 2006, members of the Liberal International toured Western Sahara and Tindouf to come up with a report for the International's European parties. Led by Hans van Baalen, a Dutch MP and shadow minister (spooky!), the commission concluded that autonomy for Western Sahara is a great idea. This is interesting because it seems like a majority of liberal parties in Europe don't like the occupation.

While Morocco saw the report, it's not clear if SADR ever did (they didn't get back to me). Anyone up for possibly secret reports? I have a copy, so leave a comment or send me an email if you want it. I'm trying to upload it on document sites but having a terrible time of it--once Scribd and its clones start liking the PDF, it'll be up here. Until then, a taste:

The LI Delegation believes that autonomy for the Western Sahara, as offered by the monarch, should be seen as a positive step and should be seen on its own merits. Autonomy could be both an interim solution and also an end state.
