The opening of the exhibition was attended by the Polisario Front’s representative in the United Kingdom, NGO Sandblast, the organization “Saharawi Justice” and students of the University.

The exhibition showed crafts, Sahrawi traditional clothing, books about Western Sahara conflict and the crimes of human rights committed by the Moroccan authorities against the Saharawi people.

“It's a shame that there is still colonialism in the 21st century. The Western Sahara is the last colony in Africa and the UN is still responsible for its final decolonization,” said the director of Sandblast, Danielle Smith. (SPS)
