The Occupation We Choose to Ignore’

Do you know who I am? I am a Sahrawi. The land to which I refer is what is known today as the non-self-governing territory ofWestern Sahara. My country was colonized by the Spanish and the French between 1884 and 1975, divided in two and occupied by Moroccan and Mauritanian forces thereafter, and has been ruled exclusively by the Kingdom of Morocco from 1979 until the present.

The Western Sahara: forgotten first source of the Arab Spring

this is one part of the Arab Spring that western governments don't want to talk about. And their silence, and the UN's complicity in it, is why that repression continues, and a terrible injustice is perpetuated.

North African Dispatches Africa’s Forgotten Colony

Oblivion it seems is the current reality for the arid North African territory of Western Sahara; often referred to as Africa’s ‘Last Colony’. In my opinion, it would be more accurate to describe it as ‘Africa’s Forgotten Colony’.

Urgent action

why urgent action ?

CYBER-ACTION AGAINST THE GENOCIDE IN WESTERN SAHARA (the last colony in Africa)

This action is a powerful tool to put pressure on our representatives in the European Parliament so they make a clear stand for justice and Human Rights. (In this very moment I am writing this email, 1.878 citizens have send their message to our representatives, which means that a total of 93.978 messages have been delivered to the European Parliament. Messages are going up every minute!!). It is very simple, the links explains it clearly. Anyone from any country can take part (then select any country e.i, UK)

Let’s do our bit (only a few minutes of our life!), to act against the “total inaction” of the International Community, the Spanish Government, the French, etc… In Western Sahara, so far there are:

More than 4500 INJURED More than 2000 DETAINED More than 100 DEATHS

Since last week, saharaui people are still being persecuted, beaten up and tortured by the occupation army and by the colonial groups (that have been armed and given green light to do what they please by the Moroccan government). Saharaui houses and commerce’s have been ransack and their cars set alight…. Morocco still denied access to any international media!! That is sickening!!

Saharaui people have stand 35 years of Human Rights abuses and have been totally forgotten in the Refuge Camps in the middle of the dessert. Moroccan occupation of Western Sahara since 1975 is totally illegal by international law. The UN has given the reason to the saharaui people, butFrance and the US have vetoed any progress for decades!! Spain still is the “administrative power” of the territory so it has the historical and the legal responsibility towards the saharaui people… But instead of taking an active role in helping to sort out the conflict, it sells weapons to Morocco(very cheap) and burry their heads in the sand. – Who the hell is the Spanish government thinking Morocco is going to use the weapons against?? Many other countries don’t do much to end the conflict because they have economical an strategic interests in the area (for them money is more important than people).

But many other countries such as the spanish people stand on the side of Human Rights. Around 100.000 people protest last Saturday in Madridfor justice and support of Western Sahara people!!

For all of my saharaui and innocent people, I beg you to take part in this cyber-action. Let’s STOP THIS GENOCIDE!!!
