The Dilemma of the Kurdish Opposition in Iraq ARI Nº 99-2002 - 12.11.2002 (Translation from spanish) Manuel Martorell The Kurdish opposition forces, which have governed an independent state "de facto" in the mountainous area in Northern Iraq since the end of the Golf War, have been called to play a significant role in the new crisis that has blown up between Saddam Hussein and the United States. The current international situation has positioned the two main organisations -the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK)- in a situation where they may risk their control over Iraqi Kurdistan, by joining the North American stance.
The Sahara Issue and the Stability of Morocco ARI Nº 98-2002 - 12.11.2002 (Translation from spanish) Ángel Pérez González The Spanish position on the future of the Sahara is the correct one. Any change favouring Morocco, as some analysts and politicians of different leanings have suggested by, must be given serious consideration, since this could negatively affect Spain's strategic interests.
