Podcast appearances and mentions of benjamin ladraa

Sanna Ghotbi and Benjamin Ladraa have cycled around the globe to raise public awareness about conditions in Western Sahara, Africa's last colony. Their activism started one and a half years ago and has arrived in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. What happened to Western Sahara? Why is that? How do Sanna and Benjamin journey and educate the international community by cycling around the globe? In this series, Kevin Abimanyu Jatmiko from the Department of International Relations, UGM, Sanna Ghotbi, and Benjamin Ladraa, Solidarity Rising Activists, invited HI Friends to examine the Moroccan Occupation of Western Sahara.

In 1975 Spain formally ended its colonization of "Spanish Sahara", but instead of ceding control to the indigenous Sahrawi population Spain instead handed the keys to its former colony to the Moroccan regime. For nearly 50 years the Sahrawi people of illegally occupied Western Sahara have been subjected to a brutal regime of settler colonialism, ethnic cleansing, resource-theft, and the violent suppression of all dissent including the systematic use of rape and torture by the Moroccan authorities. Meanwhile, more than 170,000 Sahrawi refugees have been left to languish in refugee camps in the harsh desert of Western Algeria, separated from Western Sahara by the second longest wall in the world, with 75% of their food aid having been cut in the past year by the World Food Program. All of this while the world largely turns away, content to purchase cheap phosphates and fish that have been pillaged from Sahrawi territory by Morocco. Using its veto in the UN, France has rendered MINURSO effectively useless, making it the only UN peacekeeping force in the world without a mandate to report on human rights. More recently the US, Spain, and Israel have chosen to break with decades of international consensus and to legitimize Morocco's illegal occupation.  For a quick speed-history lesson of the Sahrawi struggle, be sure to listen to the short podcast that immediately precedes this episode: "Africa's Last Colony".  Swedish activists Sanna Ghotbi and Benjamin Ladraa combine to make Solidarity Rising. Having left Sweden on their bicycles on May 15th, 2022, Solidarity Rising is their initiative to cycle around the world while educating the public about the oppression of the Sahrawi people and to mobilize Morocco's allies to change their policies.  Support our independent reporting on the world's underrported human rights issues by signing up for a monthly contribution to Latitude Adjustment Podcast on our Patreon page!

Listen to the 16th edition of the Free City Radio podcast ! In this show we speak with community organizer and writer Mostafa Henaway who reflects on the sustaining importance of the U.S. 2020 election on communities and countries around the world and the present challenge for progressive activists to mobilize a critique of the neoliberal economics that drives the mainstream of the US Democratic Party, a political framework that led to the conditions that saw the 2016 election of Trump.
