« Western Sahara and the conflict that has been unfolding there since 1975 remain unkown by the French public.

Sébastien Boulay is Associate professor in Anthropology at Paris Cité University and Meriem Naïli is an international law jurist. They are both members of the Steering Committee of the Western Sahara International Academic Observatory.
