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.

Estudiantes saharauis hospitalizados tras ataque de marroquíes - 29 de noviembre de 2010






Milicias de colonos marroquíes atacaron a los estudiantes saharauis en Smara.

Armados con cadenas, cuchillos y armas blancas, portando banderas del estado ocupador, coreando consignas racistas y contra el derecho de los saharauis.

Los marroquíes iniciaron un violento enfrentamiento que acabó con 21 estudiantes saharauisen el hospital. Un testigo presencial, que pidió permanecer en el anonimato por temor a represalias, asegura que la mayoría de los heridos son chicas que estudian en el centro educativo.

Los colonos marroquíes decidieron entrar por la fuerza a la escuela después de que los estudiantes se manifestaran dentro del centro, a favor de la resolución del Parlamento Europeo, que condenaba la violencia del asalto militar marroquí al Campamento Dignidad y que pedía una investigación de la ONU para esclarecer los hechos.

Al parecer estos actos de violencia pudieron ser incitados por funcionarios de seguridad en laciudad, para provocar ataques de pánico entre de los estudiantes y saharauis en general.
