00:00You have already asked why there is always a African country missing on most of the cards?
00:04Well, it's the Sahara Occidental.
00:07To understand why it is always green on the cards,
00:10we come back to the end of the 19th century.
00:13At that time, Europe had practically recognized the whole Africa.
00:17During this period, the Sahara Occidental was called the Sahara Espanyol,
00:21because it was a Spanish colony.
00:22It's fast and fast, almost a century,
00:25and it's still not independent,
00:27unlike other African colonies.
00:28When Spain left the region,
00:31the inhabitants of the Sahara,
00:32they declared their own country,
00:34the Arab Republic Sahrawi Democratic Republic.
00:37But then, the Maroc is intervened
00:39and took control of the majority of the region.
00:42That's why more than 80% of the Sahara Occidental
00:45is under control of the Maroc.
00:47Because of these disputes,
00:49most modern cards show them green.
00:52The United Nations tried to solve this conflict
00:54by proposing an auto-determination referendum.
00:57But the differences on the criteria of participation
01:00have prevented its realisation.
