who submited this to hacker news doesnt seem like a fiting spot

I had never heard of Western Sahara, nor did I know about Morocco's involvement even though I've visited Morocco several times. So I found this very interesting and I learnt something new. Seems to fit here quite well to me.

Just wait til you hear about the West Papua/Irian Jaya conflict. 100K dead and counting. Barely on news anywhere.

I find the value of this site to be the people. There are insightful discussions about immigration, visas, law, and other news-adjacent topics that have commenters who engage in a way I have not found elsewhere on the internet. I think this site has more value as a highly thoughtful forum space than a technical discussion space.

This site has like 5 articles about Japan that hit the front page a day. If that shit is allowed then I don’t see why this wouldn’t be.

Yep. Is the sign of modern times. Some places are over-represented and other dismissed.

With five of the seven unicorns in Africa and almost one of each three African startups, Nigeria should be a fascinating country to discuss here, but almost never reaches the front page unless the word 'prince' is in the title.
