The door of the Sahara

La puerta del Sáhara

Synopsis

In December 2004, 120 years after it was built by the Spanish, Fort Villa Cisneros, a unifying symbol of tradition and modernity in the history of the Sahrawi people, was destroyed by Morocco, ignoring the voices of those who pleaded for its preservation in favour of respect for the community’s past.
