it's still day two of our trip to western sahara. we cross town to meet with more sahrawi independence activists, once again we're followed by a man on a motorcycle. we arrive, making our way past pro-independence graffiti and meet an icon of the sahrawi resistance. sultana khaya drapes herself in the red, white, black, and green flag of western sahara. just holding this flag in public is enough to get an activist beaten and arrested. >> my name is sultana khaya. i was born under moroccan rule in the occupied city of bojador. i live just like any other sahrawi woman who was subjected to torture and beatings. and in my opinion, my case was milder than many others. amy: in 2007, sultana was peacefully protesting with fellow college students at a university in marrakech, morocco, when police surrounded her. >> may 9 was an anniversary that all sahrawis should celebrate. we were a group of 500 sahrawi udents. we left the university campus marching, peacefully, waving flags and chanting, "there are no alternatives to self-determination!"

aid could be spent in western sahara. our country did not do that before and the united states opened that kind of venue and there has been a lot of nigeria because that is a defacto recognition over western sahara. european union signed treaties with morocco that included western sahara. before it refused to do that and that is defact hoy ho of western sahara. morocco spends by the agenda and by international law that the demark asal lines in 1967 is the only line that exists between the two-state solution and is the only solution and jerusalem is the capital of the palestinian states. and the that kind of negotiation. and i think that what is happening now, between the palestinians and israelis in terms of reopening the channels comes also because of this kind of momentum created by the fact that some other countries have recognized israel and pushing in the right kind of direction and negotiation between the israelis and palestinians. >> what do you make of the moroccan's reaction. it was perhaps a bit more muted. and

and sudan, and not by cynically trading off the self-determination rights of the people of western sahara. i agree with senator james inhofe -- that's me -- when he characterized this development as shocking and deeply disappointing. it would appear that the united states of america, which was founded first and foremost on the principle of self-determination, has walked away from that principle regarding the people of western sahara. this is very regrettable. that's james baker. even more, this is other opinion pieces that came out that i just read this morning. david keene. we all remember david keene. he was with the "washington times," the american conservative union, with the n.r.a. his quote was the united states has sometimes quite properly given our interests stated out of controversies like this, but one is hard pressed to find another situation in which we have virtually announced that justice doesn't matter, and like those -- and those like the western saharans who have sought their rights peacefully rather than by way of terrorism and guns are fools. john bolton in foreign poli

i urge these organizations to stand strong and to support sahara's -- western sahara's right to self-determination, and i am confident the united states will be able to return to the policy that we've had since 1966. let me tell you what this is all about. since the colonization period in africa when different countries had colonies there, spain was the colony that had the colony of the land that is in question today. it was called the spanish sahara.if you remember in your history, franco was president at that time. this was back when things were falling apart for spain. franco was losing a lot of the control. they were not in a position to hold onto their colonies, not just in africa but anyplace else in the world. and so at that time, the u.n. came in in 1966. this goes all the way back to 1966. the u.n. asked for a referendum for self-determination for those people. so they recognized all the way back -- that's the united nations recognized the sovereignty of the western sahara people. and that's been consistent then. that was 1966. in 1975 when there was a lot of people lining up to see who c
