🔴 On #WorldHumanitarianDay, #WFP warns funding gaps could break the food pipeline to #Saharawi refugees by September.
They need immediate support - and a just solution respecting self-determination.
5 decades of exile is enough. #WesternSahara

On #WorldHumanitarianDay, we honour support for the #Saharawi refugees.
Yet, governments that fund aid to them often also support trade involving resources from occupied #WesternSahara. Humanitarian assistance should not go hand in hand with policies that sustain occupation.
"I #Saharawi vivono quindi da rifugiati in quella che, storicamente è stata la loro terra, e decine di migliaia di loro trascinano la propria vita nel silenzio e nel disimpegno crescente della comunità internazionale."

At its AGM, #Heidelberg Materials confirmed supplying #Morocco’s massive port projects in occupied #WesternSahara and increasing cement production in the territory in 2025.
The company continues to dismiss the #Saharawi people’s right to consent.
🔴 Morocco’s trade in occupied #WesternSahara’s phosphate rock is shrinking in buyers but growing in value.
Our latest report shows #Morocco made around $376.5 million in 2025 from selling #Saharawi phosphate rock to just 3 international buyers.

🔴 This contrast is staggering.
Morocco’s estimated phosphate revenues from occupied #WesternSahara in 2025: $376.5 million.
UN humanitarian appeal for Saharawi refugees in 2025: $103.9 million.

"La questione del #SaharaOccidentale, della lotta del #FrontePolisario per la autodeterminazione del popolo #Saharawi va avanti da 50 anni senza soluzioni.
Una situazione attualmente ancora più spinosa per ha scarsa attenzione della politica internazionale e che la stampa e i media tendono ad ignorare."

🔴 Morocco has reserved land for #TAQA - #Moeve’s green hydrogen project in Dakhla, occupied #WesternSahara.
But the land is not #Morocco’s to give, and projects there require #Saharawi consent.
Climate branding cannot mask that reality.

📌 New study shows the #EU’s legal ambiguity over occupied #WesternSahara is a “glaring source” of vulnerability for the #Saharawi people, as their rights continue to be ignored in EU‐Morocco agreements despite mounting legal precedents.

I’m sorry to ruin your evening, but if you’re mad about what’s going on in #Palestine right now, you should also be mad about what’s going on in #WesternSahara.
The #Saharawi #Arab people are the last #colonised people in #Africa, in the worst police state in the world, formerly colonised by #Spain, but now by Morocco after Spain left.
And to add insult to injury, #Morocco are using weapons systems bought from #Israel against the Saharawi.

A firm from the UAE is set to develop a new controversial wind farm in occupied #WesternSahara later this year - another project that aids locking in #Morocco's occupation under the pretext of green energy, while sidelining the #Saharawi people’s rights.

The firms are to construct 1,200 MW of wind power capacity in occupied #WesternSahara & a 1,400 km transmission line to transport the electricity to #Morocco proper – assisting Morocco in its blatant violation of international law & #Saharawi rights.

📢 Major development!
For the first time ever, the legal services of the EU Council admit defeat to the #Saharawi people in the EU Court of Justice, conceding that EU-MA agreements had been unlawfully extended into #WesternSahara without consent of its PEOPLE, not its population.

"The invasion of the former Spanish colonial territories started in November 1975. The Moroccan army used napalm and a devastating amount of violence to gain those territories and forced thousands of Saharawi to flee and become refugees in Algeria and then Europe.
In February 1976 the Saharawi liberation movement Frente Polisario declared an independent Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic. (SADR); in the same month the King of Morocco signed a treaty with Spain and Mauritania where they divided the territory. When Mauritania retreated its army, Morocco entered the zone and occupied it to control the coast until Guerguerat, just north of the Mauritanian border.
In the 1980s, the Moroccan army started building a huge sand wall (the Berm) to stabilise the frontline with the area in which Frente Polisario was active. Today, that wall is the longest in the world, measuring over 2,700 km and surrounded by mined zones. To meet the enormous cost of maintaining and defending the wall, the Kingdom of Morocco exploits and exports Saharawi resources — fish and phosphates."
