#sahrawi — Public Fediverse posts

Author Jeremy Harding on the politics of film location shoots.

"In The Odyssey, Nolan alludes to the ills of colonial adventure, but he had no qualms about filming in Western Sahara. Sahrawi independence activists and artists tried to approach the production team during the shoot and plead for a reappraisal but they were kept at bay by Moroccan security.

But Western Sahara is not Morocco and Nolan crossed a line. Would he cross another, a few years down the road, if Israel and the Board of Peace (© Donald Trump) offered him access, with IDF security, to the photogenic ruins of Gaza for a film version of Samson Agonistes?"

Honestly, without exaggeration, the best music series I've discovered in the past decade.

The "Rough Guides to ..." series probably comes in second allowing me to dig deeper into Desert Blues, #Sahrawi, #Tuareg genres. Great stuff!

"Come succede in #Palestina, la geopolitica legittima l’occupazione del #SaharaOccidentale da parte del #Marocco.
Reportage da un altro luogo di violazione del diritto internazionale e oppressione di un popolo."

Following Moroccan troll advice on #GretaThunberg social media posts about #WesternSahara (sadly off Mastodon) to "do your research", I did mine & now know:
1) the #UN does not recognise #Morocco's sovereignty over Western Sahara;
2) 47 countries and the #AfricanUnion recognise The #Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR);
3) the only countries to recognise Morocco's rights over Western Sahara are the US... and Israel.

Tells you all you need to know. #climatejustice #humanrights

The #Sahrawi people live in refugee camps near Tindouf, Algeria, managed by the Polisario Front, which aims to liberate #WesternSahara from Moroccan occupation.

This is a well-organized society, despite harsh conditions. The camps are named after Western Saharan cities, symbolizing their hope of returning home. Their cause is promoted through initiatives like the FiSahara film festival, seeking international support for independence.
