    • Personally, I do not know if he is completely deleting the original articles section or adding below it. If he is adding to the subsection, I was just curious of if 2019 is the only moment that had this type of human rights violations during this ongoing conflict between these two entities.

Content evaluation

[edit]
  • The content encompassing the human rights investigations on the media blackout against the protesters and journalists was phenomenal and very well written.

Overall evaluation

[edit]
  • This was definitely one of the most interesting subsections I have gotten the opportunity to read and thoroughly enjoyed it. Although it is a personal preference, I wished there were some more use for the first source cited as well as 3, 5 and 6 throughout his subsection. But overall, a very well made and written addition the the well written article about the Western Sahara Conflict.
