@democracynow breaks the media blockade and go to occupied #WesternSahara in the northwest of Africa to document the decades-long Sahrawi struggle for freedom and Morocco’s violent crackdown. https://t.co/0T174U7dJD
This Friday (10/7 @ 4pm), join us in the dept. lounge for a screening and discussion of documentary film Running Home: A Story of Belonging for a Free Western Sahara with co-director/student @inmazanoguera and Mulay Ahemd, founder of @sahrawiusa1!
The Special Political and Decolonisation Committee (Fourth Committee) of the UN General Assembly will start its session on Monday, 3 October, where it will discuss and hear petitioners on the Non-Self-Governing Territories including #WesternSahara, the last colony in Africa.
Major victory for Saharawis! The African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights concludes #Morocco's occupation of #WesternSahara to be a serious violation of the #Saharawi people’s right to self-determination and independence. @court_afchpr https://t.co/p0Cvc8bFud
The current Foreign Appropriations bill calls on funding the Moroccan military to “counter missile and unmanned aircraft systems attacks by Iran and proxies of Iran." However, neither Iran nor its proxies have any missiles or drones capable of coming even close to Morocco.
In lights of the recent economic and deplomatics stands off between #spain, #Morocco and #Algeria @MundyProf unpacks the power plays over #westernsahara

Hypocrisy by powerful nations being exposed daily. The world reaction to #Ukrain is just. However, the people of #WesternSahara and #Palestine undergo a brutal occupation and land grabbing daily yet the world sets a blind eye.
“When international law is enforced only when it suits powerful nations to enforce it, and ignored when it suits powerful nations to ignore it, then international law does not exist as anything other than an instrument of power,” writes @YousefMunayyer https://t.co/a8lMg1nojc
Biden says continued Moroccan control of #WesternSahara without an act of self-determination could somehow constitute a "mutually acceptable political solution," thereby bypassing Congressional restrictions on US military cooperation with the monarchy's repressive armed forces.
From Palestine to Western Sahara, the UK and the USA have normalised occupations and annexations that breach international law, by supporting, arming, and trading with occupiers.
Ukraine must be a turning point. We must stand up for justice everywhere.

Note how UNHCR is completely omitting where Amel is from (Western Sahara), why she is a refugee (Morocco occupies her country) or where she is (Saharawi Refugee Camps)
A great move by honorable congress members in reminding @POTUS and #USA to stop supporting oppressive regimes : kingdom of #Morrocco by selling weapons that we know it will be used against the people of #WesternSahara.
Proud to be leading a letter urging the White House to stop significant or offensive arms sales to Morocco given the lack of assurances from Morocco that the weapons will not be used against the Sahrawi people.
For Ukraine, the @EU_Commission is (rightly) putting sanctions on Russia. For Western Sahara, the Commission is working on different ways to bend EU law so it can funnel more funds to Morocco. Money that ends up being used to uphold the ongoing military occupation. Blue eyes, ey.
The U.S. correctly challenges Russia's irredentist claims regarding #Ukraine while being virtually the only country to recognize Morocco's illegal annexation of occupied #WesternSahara
@SZunes@SecBlinken The @USEmbMorocco visited occupied Western Sahara in Dahkla a few days ago, to promote some happening that the occupier Morocco arranged.
The people of Western Sahara in Dahkla are protesting against Morocco's illegal military occupation as we speak. The repression is cruel.
