Western Sahara to Libya

Summary Simon starts his world tour around the Tropic of Cancer in the Saharawi people's sand desert home, the south of the former Spanish colony of Rio Oro, disputed by Polisario's Western Sahara republic and Morocco, which occupies most militarily behind a sand ditch acting like an Iron curtain. Former French colonies Mauritania and Algeria next, rich in mineral resources, but the first obsessed with fattening up women, the second recovering from a very bloody Islamist civil war. Finally colonel Khadaffi's Libya, rich in oil and subterranean water, hence gigantic engineering amidst vast sand wastelands occasionally interrupted by an oasis, finally the Egyptian border.
