Sahara Occidental: #I am in Guerguerat

You can join the solidarity campaign with the claim of the Saharawi people for freedom and self-determination.

The border crossing"The Guerguerat"It is found in the Moroccan-occupied areas belonging to Western Sahara, on the border with Mauritania. It is a territory in the process of decolonization and awaiting compliance with the resolutions of the Security Council and the UN General Assembly.. The place has become the permanent scene of all kinds of illegal activities of Moroccan companies in coordination with European companies. For that area, they transit the natural resources looted to the town.  At the same time, The Saharawi government has denounced that the passage is used for drug trafficking from Morocco to sub-Saharan and Sahelian countries, despite the fact that it had been under a control agreed with the Mauritanian army.

It is not an isolated fact, but of abuses that are repeated in time. In 2016, Morocco planned to pave several kilometers in the occupied region, forcing the Saharawi government to deploy its army in the area. That same year, The UN denounced Morocco for violating the ceasefire agreement, Signed in 1991.

For these reasons, dozens of Sahrawi civilians arrived from refugee camps in Algeria and its occupied territory, carried out a caravan march that crossed areas controlled by the Polisario Front and demonstrated before thewall of shame built by morocco. When they came to"The Guerguerat"they blocked the passage of goods and set up a camp, wielding flags of Western Sahara to the cry of Out with Morocco! Thus, Forced members of the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara(MINURSO) to move to the place to attend to their complaints and claims, without giving in to the demands of the Mission for them to withdraw.

Tension is increasing as Morocco sent reinforcement troops to the place and the Polisario Front announced that it does not rule out taking up arms again and responding to the attacks., to the passivity of the United Nations that did not implement the peace agreement signed in 1991. The Sahrawi people are reaching the end of their patience, after 45 years of occupation and 29 years waiting for the referendum for self-determination.

From the International Socialist League we stand in solidarity with the struggle of the Saharawi people for self-determination, against the Moroccan invader, the complicity of the UN and European powers. The workers and the people of the Spanish State cannot remain oblivious to this flagrant injustice that continues over time, even with government self-defined as "Progressive coalition" PSOE-UP. You can express solidarity, spreading the message for the freedom and rights of the Saharawi people. Y, if you wish, you can make a video like that of the Saharawi comrade Chai Ahmed Baba and upload it to social networks with the tag #I am in Guerguerat
