Marokko erhebt Anspruch auf große Teile des Gebiets der Westsahara. Der UN-Sicherheitsrat hat sich jetzt dafür ausgesprochen, Westsahara unter marokkanischer Souveränität zu stellen. Seit mehr als 50 Jahren ist das Territorium umkämpft – ein Gebiet so groß wie Neuseeland. In Marokko haben viele die Entscheidung des UN-Sicherheitsrates gefeiert. Aber was heißt das für die indigene Bevölkerung, die Sahrawi, die ein Referendum über einen eigenen Staat fordern? Und warum hat sich Donald Trump in diesen Streit eingemischt? Darüber sprechen wir mit Kristina Böker und Sebastian Kisters (ARD Madrid) in dieser Ausgabe des Weltspiegel Podcasts. Es ist übrigens die letzte Folge für dieses Jahr.

Seit 50 Jahren leben die Sahrawi in Flüchtlingslagern in der algerischen Wüste, abgeschnitten von ihrer Heimat, der Westsahara. Ein Feature über ein vergessenes Volk, das nicht aufhört, nach Freiheit zu verlangen. Von Olivia Wimmer.

Seit 50 Jahren leben die Sahrawi in Flüchtlingslagern in der algerischen Wüste, abgeschnitten von ihrer Heimat, der Westsahara. Es ist ein Verharren in kompletter Abhängigkeit und viele sind wieder bereit, zu den Waffen zu greifen, denn die junge sahrawische Generation ist des Wartens müde. Die Westsahara ist ein von Marokko besetztes Gebiet an der Nordwestküste Afrikas. 1975 brach der Krieg zwischen Marokko und dem Volk der Sahrawi aus. Hunderttausende Sahrawi flohen über die Grenze nach Algerien, wo sie sich mitten in der Sahara in improvisierten Zeltstädten niederliessen. Der von der UNO verhandelte Waffenstillstand von 1991 ist an eine Abstimmung gekoppelt: Die Sahrawi sollen entscheiden, ob sie zu Marokko gehören oder einen eigenen Staat gründen wollen. Das Referendum fand nie statt. Die Menschen harren seit 50 Jahren in der Wüste aus. Ein Feature über ein vergessenes Volk.

This week, we turn to Western Sahara, often referred to as the last colony in Africa and one of the most overlooked frontlines of imperial power. In the wake of the UN Security Council's 31 October resolution, which lends weight to Morocco's autonomy plan and extends the MINURSO mandate (which has been extended annually since 1991), we examine what this means for Sahrawi self-determination. This moment is especially significant because 6 November 2025 marks 50 years of Moroccan occupation of Western Sahara, and five decades that Sahrawis have lived in exile in refugee camps in Southwest Algeria.Our guest today is Sahrawi human rights activist and teacher Najla Mohamed-Lamin, who focuses on women's rights and environmental issues. She established the Almasar Library Centre, which educated women and children living in Sahrawi refugee camps about climate change. She speaks about life under exile and why Sahrawi resistance endures despite displacement, resource plunder, and global indifference.

Dal 1999, bambini e bambine Sahrawi passano parte dell'estate in Italia, accolti da regioni, città e associazioni. Tra queste l'associazione Città Visibili di Campo Bisenzio, in provincia di Firenze.

The dispute over Western Sahara is one of Africa's longest running wars – starting in 1975. It pits Morocco against the Polisario Front- an Algerian backed political movement. But while the international community has focussed on finding a diplomatic solution – the plight of the indigenous Sahrawi people, who used to live on the disputed land, is often forgotten. They have been living in difficult-to-access refugee camps in Algeria for the past 50 years, amidst allegations that they're being used as pawns in a wider struggle. So what is their life like? And is there any hope that this long running conflict can be resolved? GUESTS: Moroccan politician and activist, Lahcen Haddad, and the BBC's Sally Nabil who's visited the camps.

Die Ministerie van Nywerheidsverhoudinge en Samewerking, Mirco, veroordeel die Franse regering se onderskrywing van Marokkaanse soewereiniteit oor Westelike Sahara. Volgens Mirco is die besluit 'n blatante miskenning van die beginsels van internasionale reg, veral die reg op selfbeskikking - 'n jarelange strewe van die Sahrawi-volk. Namibië sê die kwessie van Westelike Sahara bly 'n dekoloniseringskwessie en kan nie onderwerp word aan 'n bilaterale ooreenkoms wat die Verenigde Nasies se prosesse systap nie. Die uitvoerende direkteur van Mirco, Penda Naanda, het meer.

Một phụ nữ người Úc gốc Sahrawi đã kêu gọi công nhận nhiều hơn về cuộc đấu tranh giành độc lập của người dân ở Tây Sahara. Lãnh thổ tranh chấp này là quốc gia thuộc địa châu Phi cuối cùng chưa giành được độc lập, và bị nằm dưới sự chiếm đóng quân sự bất hợp pháp của Morocco kể từ năm 1975. Bất chấp những lời hứa hẹn về quyền tự quyết từ cộng đồng quốc tế, tương lai của người dân Sahrawi vẫn chưa rõ ràng.

A Sahrawi-Australian woman has called for more recognition of her people's struggle for independence in the Western Sahara. Gaby Alamin spoke to SBS News about making time to advocate for her peoples' struggle for independence, while she juggles being a mother, a university student and an educator.

A Sahrawi-Australian woman has called for more recognition of her people's struggle for independence in the Western Sahara. The disputed territory is known as the last African colonial state yet to achieve independence and has been under an illegal Moroccan military occupation since 1975. Despite promises of self-determination from the international community, the future of the Sahrawi people remains unclear.

For more than four decades, the Sahrawi people have lived in exile, primarily in refugee camps in the harsh conditions of the Algerian desert. Despite these challenges, Sahrawi women have emerged as the backbone of their communities, driving both day-to-day survival and the broader struggle for self-determination.In this episode, we explore these stories of resistance with Gaby Alamin, a Sahrawi educator and member of the Australian-Western Saharan Association [awsa.org.au]. She was born and raised in the Sahrawi refugee camps in the Tindouf region in Algeria. 

Benjamin Netanyahu's gaffe on French TV, displaying a map of the "Arab World" that showed the occupied (and illegally annexed) Western Sahara as a separate entity from Morocco, sparked a quick an obsequious apology from the Israeli Foreign Ministry. But the snafu sheds light on the mutual hypocrisy at work here. There is an obvious hypocrisy to Moroccan protests that demand self-determination for the Palestinians but not the Sahrawi, the indigenous Arab inhabitants of Western Sahara. The hypocrisy of Israel is also obvious: Israeli commentators and hasbara agents are the first to play the "whataboutery" game—relativizing the plight of the Palestinians by pointing to that of Kurds, Berbers, Nubians, Massalit and other stateless peoples oppressed under Arab regimes. But, as we now see, they are just as quick to completely betray them when those regimes recognize Israel and betray the Palestinians. Yet another example of how a global divide-and-rule racket is the essence of the state system. Bill Weinberg breaks it down in Episode 229 of the CounterVortex podcast.

Botala Energy Ltd CEO Kris Martinick sat down with Proactive's Elisha Newell to emphasise the importance of community engagement. Botala Energy, known for its significant stakeholder management, conducts quarterly stakeholder planning and comprehensive environmental impact assessments which involve direct interactions with local communities. Spending months in local villages, the Botala team has built strong relationships with local chiefs, elders and residents, focusing on understanding their concerns and needs, particularly around jobs, life security and food. Botala Energy's commitment extends beyond business operations to social responsibility. Martinick highlighted their close relationship with the SOS Orphanage in Sahrawi, one of three orphanages the company supports. Botala's directors and executives actively participate in this effort, personally delivering clothes and toys to the orphanage. This initiative is part of a broader effort to collect donations, including a 20-foot container in Perth filled with contributions from the Mosman Park Men's Shed and others. These efforts address the needs of children affected by domestic violence, family deaths and human trafficking. Martinick reflects on Botala Energy's dedication to walking the talk in community engagement and social responsibility. As the holiday season approaches, he encourages the community to support these causes. #ProactiveInvestors #BotalaEnergy #ASX #Energy #KrisMartinick #CommunityEngagement #CorporateResponsibility #EnvironmentalImpact #StakeholderManagement #SustainableBusiness #EnergySector #SocialResponsibility #AfricanCommunities #BotswanaOrphanages #CharitableInitiatives #SOSOrphanageSahrawi #GlobalGiving #CorporatePhilanthropy #HumanitarianAid #CorporateInterviews #CEOInsights #BusinessEthics #SustainableDevelopment #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

In the desert region of Tindouf in southern Algeria, the sun beats down on sandy expanses that are home to little more than a network of refugee camps. But in August 2021, a group of Sahrawi refugees were bustling inside a building studded with rectangular pools and filled with tons of tilapia—literally. A new Mezze from the CSIS Middle East Program.

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! 

Where is Western Sahara? What is Western Sahara? Is it a country? Who lives there? If you find yourself unable to answer any of these questions, or if you want a resource that will help you to quickly explain the history and the current political realities around Africa's last colony to your friends and to your community, this short episode was created for you.  Latitude Adjustment Podcast is also working on plans to complete a multimedia documentary series, working on the ground with Sahrawi refugees in Western Algeria, and in collaboration two former guests of the show. You can find more information on that developing project on our website, at LastAfricanColony.com 

In today's episode we talk with human rights activist Jamal about the colonial occupation of Western Sahara by Morocco and the decades-long decolonial struggle of the Sahrawi people. We start the discussion by going over the chronology of the occupation, discussing the main international actors and their interests in the region, and how these interests ignore the rights and demands of the majority local Sahrawi population. We talk about the imperial and extractivist logic that drives Morocco, and how the EU is failing to uphold international law in exchange for access to fisheries, green energy and other benefits. In the second part we talk about the Polisario Front, the organization leading the resistance of the Sahrawis, and how people can support the cause. ===== Re(Sources) Cultures of Resistance Films: Life is Waiting: Referendum and Resistance in Western Sahara [Documentary] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QzRzm4uFxU ARSO - Association de soutien à un référendum libre et régulier au Sahara Occidenta https://www.arso.org/index.htm Sahrawi Association in the USA https://sahrawiusa.com/ Vice News: The Sahara's Forgotten War (Full Length) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju4WrjiJbGc The Sahrawi art of resistance https://emmausstockholm.se/the-sahrawi-art-of-resistance/ Spain switch to legitimizing the occupation https://www.aljazeera.com/program/inside-story/2023/2/3/will-spains-new-position-on-western-sahara-make-a-difference Dirty green energy on occupied land https://wsrw.org/en/news/renewable-energy Ex-MEP charged in EU corruption scandal admits links to Morocco https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2023/01/18/ex-mep-charged-in-eu-corruption-scandal-admits-links-to-qatar-morocco-lawyer-says About phosphate and its role https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2016/11/the-desert-rock-that-feeds-the-world/508853/ About the Moroccan wall in Western Sahara https://book.stopthewall.org/the-moroccan-wall-in-western-sahara-a-silent-crime/ Artwork by Manolo Mesa flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/el_messa/ ig: @manolo_mesa Music: Sahara a pesar de las heridas, by Adel Larbi & P Solver song: https://youtu.be/_LWhfOFt2K0 ig: @adellarbipsk yt: @graffandstuff8156

Read the transcript of this podcast: https://therealnews.com/frente-polisarios-fight-to-liberate-western-saharaThe national liberation struggle of the Sahrawi people of Western Sahara has been ongoing for 50 years. Through the twists and turns of history, the people of Western Sahara have faced Spanish colonialism, the occupation of their territory by Mauritania and Morocco, and expulsion from their territory to refugee camps in Algeria. Despite this long struggle, Western Sahara's history and politics remain relatively unknown to many outsiders. Bill Fletcher Jr., a member of the TRNN Executive Board, speaks with Sidi Omar, the UN Ambassador of Frente Poliario, the political organization behind the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic.Post-Production: Cameron Granadino, David HebdenHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer: Donate: https://therealnews.com/donate-podSign up for our newsletter: https://therealnews.com/newsletter-podLike us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/therealnewsFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/therealnews

Although Israelis view the events of 1948 as liberation, to Palestinians, this was “Nakba”, or “disaster”. According to Israeli historian Benny Morris, the events of those first few years were tantamount to “ethnic cleansing” of Palestinians, a fact that neither Israel nor the international community have been able to properly deal with. How to resettle hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees and their descendants? Was the original partition of Palestine equitable and just, and if not, what would a logical compensation package look like? Was Israel interested in a genuine peace process, or do the Oslo Accords, Camp David, Taba, and events surrounding the First and Second Intifada suggest that Israel, according to Norman Finkelstein, is frightened of a Palestinian “peace offensive”? In this video, Norman Finkelstein, scholar of Palestine and the Holocaust, author of “Beyond Chutzpah”, “The Holocaust Industry”, “Gaza”, and “I'll Burn That Bridge When I Get To It”, convenes a panel with Alex Sheremet and several Palestinian refugees. These are scholar Mouin Rabbani, activist Sana Kassem, B'Tselem researcher Musa Abu Hashhash, and activist Arwa Hashhash. They discuss their families' experience fleeing Israel's war of independence, the destruction of Palestinian homes, the apartheid system of law, arrest, detention, harassment, and subsequent wars. Norman Finkelstein, who is himself the son of Holocaust survivors, often tells the story of his parents' shock at Israel's mistreatment of Palestinian refugees. He credits them with his moral understanding of the world and his interest in the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Algieria odwołuje ambasadora w Hiszpanii po tym jak rząd premiera Pedro Sancheza poparł Maroko w trwającym od dekad konflikcie w Saharze Zachodniej. Algierczycy uważają, że konflikt powinien być rozwiązany z uwzględnieniem dążeń niepodległościowych zamieszkującego ten obszar ludu Sahrawich, lecz Maroko przekonuje, że to integralna część ich terytorium i jego status nie podlega negocjacji. Dotychczas Hiszpanie starali się nie opowiadać po żadnej ze stron konfliktu i tym bardziej ich ostatnia decyzja okazała się szokiem dla Algierczyków. Dlaczego Madryt taką decyzję podjął akurat teraz i co wpłynęło na decyzję rządu Sancheza? Co takiego ważnego jest na Saharze Zachodniej, że o region walczą, politycznie i zbrojnie, nie tylko Sahrawi, ale także Maroko i Algieria? Czy Algierczycy mogą zagrozić, że przerwą dostawy gazu do Hiszpanii? O tym rozmawiam z Maciejem Pawłowskim, ekspertem Instytutu Nowej Europy. Przyglądamy się też światu piłki nożnej. Roman Abramowicz ze względu na sankcje nakładane przez Europę na rosyjskich oligarchów podjął decyzję o sprzedaży klubu piłkarskiego Chelsea FC. Niemal od razu ustawiła się kolejka chętnych, w tym z Bliskiego Wschodu. Ostateczna lista potencjalnych nabywców jest już skrócona do kilku ledwie nazwisk. Miliarderzy z Półwyspu Arabskiego od lat jednak przyglądają się europejskiemu futbolowi szukając potencjalnych okazji, jak miało to już miejsce choćby w zeszłym roku, kiedy saudyjski Public Investment Fund kupił klub Newcastle United. Dlaczego europejskie kluby piłkarskie są atrakcyjne dla szejków z Półwyspu Arabskiego? Na ile te transakcje i późniejsza działalność klubów kontrolowane są przez państwo? Czy piłkarze i kluby są jedynie zabawkami w rękach arabskich miliarderów?   Na te i wiele innych pytań odpowiada Mieszko Rajkiewicz z Instytutu Nowej Europy Stosunkowo Bliski Wschód to podcast wspierany przez słuchaczy za pośrednictwem Patronite.pl. To właśnie dzięki Waszej pomocy możemy trzymać rękę na pulsie i co tydzień przyglądać się wydarzeniom na Bliskim Wschodzie.  Serdecznie Wam za to dziękujemy!

Piotr Schulkes, Helna Murphy, Hajar Meddah, and Felix Walker discuss the recent development in the Western Sahara, caused by America's recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over the territory. They give an overview over the area's history, the foreign actors involved, and what the future might hold

Welcome to the first episode of Perspectives! A podcast where we explore geopolitical perspectives on today's challenges. In this first episode, we will be talking with Professor Jacob Mundy, an expert on the Western Sahara conflict, co-author of “Western Sahara: War, nationalism and conflict irresolution”. This conflict, although major in the lives of thousands, is often overlooked on the international scene, which is why it's such a pertinent issue for Perspectives' first episode. Western Sahara is a territory wedged between Morocco, Mauritania, and the Atlantic Ocean and has historically been inhabited by a nomadic people, the Sahrawi. In 1884, Spain colonized the area, and it remained under Spanish rule until 1975. When this imperial power left the territory, it came under Mauritanian and Moroccan control. A war then erupted between these two countries and the Polisario Front, the armed movement for Sahrawi independence. Mauritania eventually gave up on its territorial claims, leaving Morroco and the Polisario Front as the two belligerents. In 1991, a Ceasefire was brokered, which recently came to an end due to a skirmish between Polisario and Moroccan forces. Last year, the Trump administration made the decision to recognize Morocco's sovereignty over Western Sahara, a decision that no other country had made. Today, Morocco controls about 80 percent of the territory, and the Polisario Front controls the remaining 20 percent. 

In this episode, I'm joined by Sister Inma Zanoguera. At the age of 2, she was adopted along with her sister and her brother and raised in Mallorca, Spain.  At 25, she found out her birth mother was a Sahrawi, a people from the Western Sahara who are under occupation. She journeyed to Western Sahara to learn about her roots; she now serves as an advocate for refugees everywhere, by using her platform to bring light to the refugee experience. She even went on to speak at the UN on behalf of the Sahrawi! Inma found Islam just two years ago, but she has already developed a beautiful perspective and understanding of the religion. Listen in as she shares her story. Online resources on Western Sahara: https://wsrw.org/ https://sahrawiusa.com/ https://bit.ly/3mRxvVs Democracy Now!
