[CATHERINE CONSTANTINIDES @ChangeAgentSA]

And in #WesternSahara these resources are exploited by colonizing power Morocco who are illegally trading and extracting the natural resources belonging to the Saharawi people. We need to also ensure that this outstanding occupation comes to an end #AUSummit2020 @CyrilRamaphosa

Pres Ramaphosa speaks out strongly on right of Western Sahara to self determination and the rejection of US “bantustan” peace plan for Israel-Palestine. #AUSummit #AUSummit2020

[Vido Fanti @VuyaniFanti]

#AUSummit2020 #WesternSahara and #Palestine are high on the #AfricanUnion agenda as South Africa assumes chairship thank you President @CyrilRamaphosa

[Khayelihle Rafiq Khumalo-James @KhayaJames]

#AUSummit2020 Ramaphosa says we show our unwavering support to the people of Palestine and self-determination for the people of Western Sahara. Apartheid regime once imposed Bantustan, the Middle East Plan sounds like a Bantustan construct.

[Nisha Varghese 🇿🇦 @Nisha360]

If South Africa does not use its chairship of the AU to free the #WesternSahara from the illegal occupation of Morocco we will have truly failed as a country and continent

@UbuntuRadioZA @CyrilRamaphosa @PresidencyZA @DIRCO_ZA #Ramaphosa's acceptance speech as #AUchair, which was punctured by several applauses was so progressive and focused on critical challenges facing Africa that we all felt proud to be Africans! Rights of people of Western Sahara; Rights of the Palestinian people to mention a few.

[The Jerusalem Post @Jerusalem_Post]

The US and #Israel are negotiating a scenario that would have the US recognize Moroccan sovereignty over the occupied territories in Western Sahara if #Morocco would move in the direction of normalizing relations with Israel.

Terry spoke out against injustice & folly, using comedy to expose its absurdity.

A vociferous opponent of the Iraq War, he came v close to standing against Tony Blair in the 2005 general election to hold him to account.

His slogan: “He’s not a good PM, he’s a very naughty boy.”

#SaveTheDate! Is supporting peace and justice among your 2020 resolutions? How about #BreakingTheSilence at #FiSahara2020? This 14-19 of April come to the festival in the #RefugeeCamps to celebrate Sahrawi culture and watch films under the stars.

A powerful statement by @ChangeAgentSA about Morocco's plunder of #WesternSahara's natural resources #StandInTheSand > Statement by international Activist C. Constantinides to the seminar on resources of #WesternSahara https://t.co/D8aJkobiBb

[WS Campaign UK @WSCUK]

Polisario's senior diplomat in Europe says a 120-strong group of Members of the European Parliament has been formed to monitor the Western Sahara.
This good news follows the EP's shameful breach of European Court ruling over fishing in Sahrawi waters.

#Canarias continues to pay Moroccan occupation for stolen #WesternSahara sand. Canary Islands, Spanish government are a disgrace. https://t.co/z6PkplNmTu

Meanwhile the UN's #FAO says most octopus sold in Spain is from #WesternSahara waters where it is fished against ruling of the #ECJ Shame on Madrid for subsidising Moroccan occupation. https://t.co/6bnsjxBqce
