Have you heard of Africa’s last colony? Welcome to Western Sahara, the homeland of the indigenous Saharawi people. Self-proclaimed as the Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) in 1976, this vast territory spans 266,000 km² and lies in northwest Africa.

For day 5 of #RefugeeWeek2024, we spoke to Ada who was born in the refugee camps and lived there until the age of 5 to explore the role of Saharawi women. #saharawi #saharawiwomen #westernsahara #ourhome

Together with my independent colleagues, I have written to the Home Secretary requesting an urgent meeting in light of the far-right riots. We must call out this violence for what it is: rampant Islamophobia.

.Ryanair why are you misleading EU consumers into believing that Dakhla is in Morocco, rather than in Western Sahara (a completely different country)? As an EU-based airliner headquartered in Ireland, should you not be following EU/Irish legal positions?

.Ryanair flights to Dakhla (Western Sahara) operate in an EU regulatory void as they are not covered by the EU-Morocco Aviation Services Agreement. How does this impact flight operation safety, crew licensing, aircraft maintenance & EU consumer rights? wsrw.org/en/news/eu-com…

Ryanair has announced plans to fly tourists into an occupied country, against the government in exile’s wishes. This move supports Morocco’s claim to Western Sahara, and will help finance its “illegal occupation”, a Polisario Front representative says. dublininquirer.com/2024/11/20/rya…

Launching these Ryanair flights to Dakhla “is not only an affront to the right of self-determination of the Sahrawi people but is also a direct contribution to an illegal [Moroccan] occupation” of Western Sahara, Nafaa, the Polisario Front representative in Ireland, says.

The Saharawi refugee camps have been here in Algeria since 1975. That's when Morocco invaded and forced the native Saharawi people to flee from their homeland. Free Western Sahara #bike4westernsahara 🇪🇭🚴🏽‍♀️

1/ Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg visited the Sahrawi refugee camps near Tindouf, Algeria, to participate in a solidarity conference supporting the Sahrawi people’s fight for self-determination. 🧵

Greta Thunberg "The Sahrawi people have the right to self-determination, freedom, and dignity, rights that have been denied to them. I would like to raise my voice in favor of the liberation of #WesternSahara."

From the Saharawi refugee camps, Greta Thunberg declares: The Sahrawi people have the right to self-determination, freedom, and dignity. They’ve been violently denied those rights. The world is watching in silence. I want to add my voice for Western Sahara liberation.
