“…Moroccan-Mauritanian take-over is fait accompli, not likely to be reversed. Problem for UN is what kind of gloss to put on the de facto situation. Several times he expressed regret that Moroccans-Mauritanians had not ‘at least covered their actions with some kind of fig leaf.’”

A global collective hope crisis is simmering, with many people hurting, criminalized, repressed, and doubting that justice is possible. The old fable of a stable job, home, family and retirement is crumbling. But, things are much more hopeful than they initially seem.
