Les non-alignés et le Sahara

Le Mouvement des pays non-alignés réaffirme ses positions antérieures sur la question du Sahara occidental
La Havane, 01/05/2009 (SPS) Les ministres participants à la réunion du Bureau de coordination du Mouvement des pays non-alignés, tenue à la Havane (Cuba), ont réaffirmé leurs positions antérieures sur la question du Sahara occidental, a-t-on appris auprès du Bureau de coordination du Mouvement.

Security Council Resolution 2009

The Security Council today extended the mandate of the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) by one year, until 30 April 2010.
Unanimously adopting resolution 1871 (2009), as orally amended, the Council called upon the parties to continue negotiations under the auspices of the Secretary-General without preconditions and in good faith, with a view to achieving a just, lasting and mutually acceptable political solution, which would provide for the self-determination of the people of Western Sahara in the context of arrangements consistent with the principles and purposes of the Charter of the United Nations.
The Council welcomed the parties’ agreement with the Personal Envoy’s suggestion to hold small, informal talks in preparation for a fifth round of negotiations, recalling its endorsement of the previous report’s recommendation that realism and a spirit of compromise by the parties were essential to achieve progress in negotiations. It called upon the parties to continue to work in an atmosphere propitious for dialogue in order to enter into a more intensive and substantive phase of negotiations.
After adoption, speakers expressed satisfaction with the unanimity of the vote, which sent a message to the parties that progress in negotiations should be made. In that regard, they expressed support for the Special Envoy’s proposal to hold small, informal talks before a fifth round of negotiations in Manhasset would begin.
Some speakers emphasized the importance of respect for human rights and welcomed in that regard preambular paragraphs 7 and 8, as orally amended. The representative of Costa Rica, however, emphasizing that political will to reach results was the foundation of mediation, which must be based on absolute respect for the United Nations Charter and for human rights, expressed regret that his proposal to ask for a report on the efforts of the High Commissioner of Human Rights in Western Sahara had not been reflected in the text. That proposal was based on the Secretary-General’s recommendations in his last two reports.
France’s representative, stressing that was no solution to the situation in Western Sahara other than a negotiated political settlement that was inclusive of the concerns of the parties and benefited the whole of the Maghreb region, said that Morocco’s 2007 proposal deserved serious consideration by the parties.
Statements were also made by representatives of United States, Russian Federation, United Kingdom, Uganda, Burkina Faso, Austria and Mexico.
The meeting started at 4:47 p.m. and adjourned at 5:12 p.m.

Background
The Security Council had before it the report of the Secretary-General on the situation concerning Western Sahara (document S/2009/200), which covers developments since his report of 14 April 2008 (document S/2008/251) and in which he recommends a mandate extension for the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) until 30 April 2010.
According to the report, the situation in the Territory remains calm. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Saguia el-Hamra and Rio de Oro (Polisario Front) marked its thirty-fifth anniversary on 20 May 2008, and on 22 January 2009, it declared an exclusive economic zone for Western Sahara, extending 200 nautical miles from the coast to protect the Territory’s permanent sovereignty over its natural resources. Polisario Front called for the suspension of a 2005 fisheries agreement between Morocco and the on the European Union, whose Commissioner for External Relations met with the leader of the Polisario Front for the first time in December 2008.
The report states that Christopher Ross, the newly appointed Personal Envoy of the Secretary-General, met with several high-level representatives of the parties, and with the King of Morocco and the President of Algeria. All his interlocutors confirmed their commitment to cooperation with the United Nations with a view to reaching a solution as soon as possible. However, the Personal Envoy informed the Secretary-General that the positions of the parties have not changed since the fourth round of negotiations, held in Manhasset, New York, from 16 to 18 March 2008, and remain far apart on ways to achieve a just, lasting and mutually acceptable political solution leading to self-determination for the people of Western Sahara.
Welcoming the parties’ commitment to continuing the negotiation process, the Secretary-General recommends that the Council reiterate its call upon Morocco and the Polisario Front to negotiate in good faith, without preconditions, show the political will to enter into substantive discussions and ensure the success of the negotiations.
According to the report, the Secretary-General welcomes the progress made in mine clearing and encourages the parties to continue working with the Mission to establish direct cooperation and communication through a joint military verification commission so as to facilitate their work on mine clearance and other issues of common interest. The continuing exchanges of family visits between the Territory and the refugee camps in the Tindouf area are also welcome, and the parties should continue to work with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and MINURSO to explore the possibility of expanding the confidence-building programme.
Strongly urging the donor community to contribute funds to expand the programme, the Secretary-General concludes by observing that, given the existing circumstances on the ground, and in light of the Personal Envoy’s continuing efforts, the presence of MINURSO remains indispensable for the maintenance of the ceasefire in Western Sahara.
Statements
SUSAN RICE ( United States) said her country fully supported the Secretary-General and his new Personal Envoy in their efforts to find a solution to the question of Western Sahara. The problem had gone on for too long, and as a consequence, poor relations between Morocco and Algeria had prevented cooperation on issues of urgency for North Africa. On the Personal Envoy’s recent trip to the region, all interlocutors had confirmed their commitment to cooperate with the United Nations and concurred with his assessment that informal preparatory talks might help pave the way for formal and more substantive talks. Given the current situation on the ground, the presence of MINURSO remained indispensable.
JEAN-MAURICE RIPERT (France) said there was no solution to the situation in Western Sahara other than a negotiated political settlement that was inclusive of the concerns of the parties and which benefited the whole of the Maghreb region. France would call on the parties to return to the negotiating table as soon as possible in a spirit of realism and compromise, and with the political will finally to reach a just and lasting decision. Morocco’s 2007 proposal deserved serious consideration. France backed the efforts of the Secretary-General and his Personal Envoy, as well as the idea of a round of informal talks ahead of formal negotiations.
VITALY CHURKIN ( Russian Federation) said the unanimous adoption of the resolution sent a message to the parties of the need for progress in the negotiations and it could help assist the Personal Envoy’s endeavours to give new life to the peace process. The Russian Federation attached great importance to direct dialogue in the negotiations.
JOHN SAWERS ( United Kingdom) welcomed the unanimous adoption of the resolution as it sent an important message of support for Personal Envoy Ross as he embarked on his new role. The fresh approach provided a real opportunity for the parties to take an equally fresh approach. The United Kingdom strongly urged all the parties to seize the opportunity and undertake talks in the sprit of openness. They should work towards a just, lasting and mutually acceptable solution that would provide for the self-determination of the people of Western Sahara. Regarding the resolution’s reference to the “human dimension” of the situation, the United Kingdom firmly believed that an expansion of humanitarian confidence-building measures would do much to restore trust between the parties.
JORGE URBINA ( Costa Rica) said that, while he had voted in favour of the resolution because it was important to lend unanimous Council support to the plan presented by the Personal Envoy, he was not satisfied with the text. As an active advocate of the peaceful settlements of disputes, Costa Rica was sorry that its delegation’s proposals and concerns were not reflected in the text, in particular a proposal to ask for a report on the efforts of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Western Sahara, as requested in the Secretary-General’s last two reports. Unfortunately, the Council had not endorsed the Secretary-General’s conclusions.
PATRICK MUGOYA ( Uganda) said he had voted in favour of renewing the mandate but remained concerned by a number of issues raised in the Secretary-General’s report regarding the human rights situation in the Western Sahara. One of the key areas of concern for the United Nations was human rights, and Uganda was aware that MINURSO’s mandate contained no human rights mechanisms. Uganda, therefore, welcomed the Secretary-General’s reference to the “human dimension” of the situation in Western Sahara and looked forward to concrete action to address the issue on the ground.
PAUL ROBERT TIENDRÉBÉOGO ( Burkina Faso) said the Council should pursue clear objectives and spare no effort to promote a rapid resumption of the Manhasset process. Those objectives were reflected in the resolution, which was the best possible compromise at the present stage.
THOMAS MAYR-HARTING ( Austria) said he hoped a new approach to the Western Sahara question would lead to progress in the Territory and in the refugee camps. To that end, Austria supported the recommendation on consultations between the parties and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, as well as the promotion of confidence-building measures.
Council President CLAUDE HELLER (Mexico), speaking in his national capacity, said he was gratified by the adoption of the resolution, in particular the unanimity of the vote, which reflected support for MINURSO’s work and for the initiatives taken by the new Personal Envoy. Mexico also supported the Personal Envoy’s suggestion that small preparatory meetings be organized before a fifth meeting in Manhasset was convened, and trusted that the parties would attend in good faith and without preconditions. Because the Council could not neglect the topic of human rights in its consideration of the situation, Mexico welcomed preambular paragraph 7 of the resolution, which stressed the importance of progress in that regard.

Llamamento


RASD / HRW / DERECHOS HUMANOS
AFAPREDESA pide a HRW evitar la tragedia de los presos políticos saharauis en huelga de hambre en las cárceles marroquíes
Chahid El Hafed (Campamentos de Refugiados Saharauis), 2 de abril de 2009 (SPS) El Presidente de la Asociación de Familiares de Preso y Desaparecidos Saharauis (AFAPREDESA) Abdeslam Omar Lahsen ha pedido a Human Rights Watch (HRW) a intervenir inmediatamente con el fin de “evitar una tragedia humana” en alusión al caso de los presos políticos saharauis en huelga de hambre en cárceles marroquíes. "Pedimos a usted - ya que su organización se ha ganado su reputación en la defensa de los derechos humanos en todo el mundo, a intervenir de inmediato con el fin de evitar la tragedia humana que se desarrolla como resultado de la persistencia de las autoridades marroquíes en su salvaje represión haciendo caso omiso de los derechos fundamentales de los presos políticos en huelga de hambre ", dijo el Presidente de AFAPREDESA en una carta dirigida, el jueves, a la directora de la Organización para Oriente Medio y Norte de África, Sarah Leah Whitson. "Hacemos un llamamiento a su alta autoridad moral para hacer todo lo posible para que las autoridades marroquíes respeten el derecho internacional y humanitario." "Me gustaría llamar su atención sobre el grave deterioro de la salud de un grupo de presos políticos saharauis, que comenzaron una huelga de hambre el 13 de febrero de 2009, con el fin de llamar la atención sobre la urgente necesidad de la aplicación de la legalidad internacional en elSáhara Occidental y en protesta contra las inhumanas condiciones de vida en esta prisión, donde no se respeta ni el mínimo de las normas y convenios internacionales que garantizan la protección de la dignidad humana”, escribió el Presidente de AFAPREDESA, señalando que “este es el caso de Brahim Beryaz, Khalihenna Abu El Hassan y Ali Salem Belar ". También ha llamado la atención de la Organización sobre el caso de otro grupo de detenidos saharauis en huelga de hambre en la Cárcel Negra de El Aaiun en reivindicación de la aplicación del derecho del pueblo saharaui a la autodeterminación en conformidad con las decisiones de las Naciones Unidas, y en solidaridad con los detenidos en la Cárcel de Bulmharez en Marrakech. Entre ellos se encuentran Bechri Ben Taleb, Ahemdat Ahmed Salem y Mohamed El Gasmi Lahbib. El Presidente de AFAPREDESA recordó, en su carta, que en los últimos años, el constante deterioro de los derechos humanos en el Sahara Occidental ha sido desenmascarado, una y otra vez por muchas organizaciones de derechos humanos y organismos especializados que han sido autorizados a visitar el territorio, tales como Human Right Watch pero esos informes no han impedido que las autoridades marroquíes sigan ejerciendo flagrantes violaciones de los derechos en el Sahara Occidental.

(SCSC) Sahara: Torturan y detienen a varios activistas de DD.HH. que se iban a reunir con los europarlamentarios Hamia Ahmed Musa y Rachid Sghyar, del Comité contra la Tortura de Dajla, permanecen en paradero desconocido desde esta tarde El Aaiún.- Los tres representantes del Comité Contra la Tortura de Dajla, Hamia Ahmed Musa, Ulad Chej Mahyub y Rachid Sghyar, que tenían previsto reunirse esta tarde con la delegación del Parlamento Europeo que visita los territorios ocupados por Marruecos en el Sahara Occidental, fueron "agredidos brutalmente" por la policía marroquí cuando se dirigían a este encuentro previsto en el Hotel Parador de la capital saharaui, El Aaiún, informó al Servicio de Comunicación Saharaui en Canarias el presidente del citado Comité de defensa de los Derechos Humanos, El Mami Amar Salem. Las calles de la ciudad permanecen "bajo un férreo control policial" con motivo de la visita de los europarlamentarios y "numerosos agentes de paisano controlan todas las calles de acceso al hotel donde se aloja la delegación europea", indicaron los activistas. Fue precisamente cuando se dirigían al Hotel Parador, cuando los tres miembros del Comité Contra la Tortura de Dajla "fueron parados en un control" y, tras indicar el motivo de su presencia en la ciudad y que se dirigían a la reunión prevista, "fueron torturados en plena calle" y, dos de ellos, Hamia Ahmed Musa y Rachid Sghyar, "detenidos e introducidos en un vehículo policial", indican las fuentes. El tercero, Ulad Chej Mahyub, logró alcanzar el hotel y esperó a que llegara su turno para entrevistarse con la delegación de Estrasburgo, "con graves heridas en las piernas", asegura el Comité contra la Tortura de Dajla. Por la noche, aún se desconocía el paradero y la situación de los dos activistas de derechos humanos detenidos, pero fuentes en la ciudad saharaui expresaron su temor a que estuvieran sufriendo nuevas "torturas en dependencias policiales".

Ross for Western Sahara


UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon names Christopher Ross as his Personal Envoy for Western Sahara
Shahid Al-Hafed ( Saharawi Refuge Camps ), 8 Jan, 2009 (SPS) – UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has informed the Security Council of the appointment of American diplomat, Christopher Ross, as his Personal Envoy for Western Sahara, UN spokesperson Michele Montas told reporters, in statement made public on the website of the United Nations.
.“Mr. Ross will work with the parties and neighbouring countries (...) with objective of achieving a just, lasting and mutually acceptable political solution, which will provide for self-determination of the people of Western Sahara,” said Michele Montas.
The Department of State for Foreign Affairs of the USA has welcomed the appointment of Mr. Ross to the position of the Personal Envoy of the UN Secretary General for Western Sahara, calling on the parties to the conflict, Polisario Front and Morocco “to engage in new rounds of direct negotiations at the beginning of this year. "
The UN Secretary-General had informed last August the two parties to the conflict, Morocco and the Polisario Front, as well as members of the Security Council of his intention to appoint Mr. Christopher Ross as new personal representative for Western Sahara, but without making it publicly.
.The peace process in Western Sahara is currently stalled, after the termination of the mandate of the previous personal envoy of UN Secretary-General in Western Sahara, Peter Van Walsum.
Mr. Van Walsum, who oversaw since June 2007 four rounds of direct negotiations between Morocco and Polisario Front in Manhasset, near New York, lost the confidence of Mr. Ki-moon and the Polisario Front when he described as "unrealistic" the option of independence for Western Sahara. (SPS)

Saharawis remember Palestinians

Bir Lehlu (liberated territories), 30/12/2008 (SPS) The Government of Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) and the Polisario Front condemned Monday the massacre by Israel against Palestinians in Gaza Strip since Saturday, in which more than 350 were dead and 1600 injured, according to a statement of Saharawi Ministry of Information received by SPS.
The Government of the SADR considers that "the use of force, the policy of colonial occupation, killing and terror against defenseless citizens are contrary to morals, laws and customs of the humanity and are in contradiction with international legality."
Based on this principle, Saharawi Government, "expresses its solidarity with the Palestinian people in the tragedy subsequent to the massacre perpetrated by Israeli forces against Palestinians in Gaza Strip and supports their battle to defend their independence and territorial sovereignty", said the text.
The Saharawi Government and the Polisario Front which strongly condemn this criminal aggression against the Palestinian people, "urged the international community and all peoples and governments, including the Arabs to act urgently in order to bring to a halt these premeditated assaults, to prevent defenseless Palestinian people and lift the siege imposed on Gaza City."

Steps back in history




Western Sahara, is a territory of (266,000 sq km), North West Africa. It borders on the Atlantic Ocean in the west, on Morocco in the north (443 km), on Algeria in the northeast (42 km), and on Mauritania in the east and south (1, 561 km).
Part of the Sahara, it is extremely arid and is almost entirely covered with stones, gravel, or sand. Rocky highlands in the east reach c.1, 500 ft (460 m). It is mostly low, flat desert with large areas of rocky or sandy surfaces rising to small mountains in south and northeast.
There is evidence of trade between the Western Sahara and Europe by the 4th cent. B.C. Portuguese navigators reached Cape Bojador on the northern coast of present-day Western Sahara in 1434. However, there was little European contact with the region until the 19th cent. In 1884, and as a consequence of the Berlin Conference, Spain claimed a protectorate over the coast from Cape Bojador to Cap Blanc (at the present border with Mauritania). The boundaries of the protectorate were extended by Franco-Spanish agreements in 1900, 1904, and 1920. Smara was not captured until 1934, and the Spanish had only slight contact with the interior until the 1950s. In 1957, a Saharawi Resistance movement ousted the Spanish, who regained control of the region with French and Moroccan help in Feb., 1958.
In Apr., 1958, Spain joined the previously separate districts of Saguia el Hamra (in the north) and Río de Oro (in the south) to form by a Royal Decree the province of Spanish Sahara. The UN declared the right of non-self-governing territories and placed Western Sahara on its agenda for decolonization in 1966. In the early 1970s, dissidents formed organizations seeking independence for the province. In May 1973, The Polisario Front was found, still today the unique and legitimate representative of the Saharawi people and fought with armed struggle for the independence of Western Sahara. At the same time, the UN pressured Spain to call a referendum on the area's future in accordance with UN resolutions. Continuing guerrilla warfare in the 1970s, The Madrid Agreement of 1975 to hand over “Spanish Sahara” to the neighboring countries and a march of over 300,000 Moroccans into the territory in 1975, led to Spain's withdrawal from the province in 1976, when it was renamed Western Sahara.
Upon Spain's withdrawal, and as agreed in Madrid, Morocco and Mauritania subdivided the region, with Morocco controlling the northern two thirds and Mauritania the southern third. The international Court of Justice ruled out the Moroccan claims of sovereignty over Western Sahara. The Polisario Front waged guerrilla warfare against the two nations and proclaimed the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. In 1979, Mauritania withdrew from its portion, which was taken over by Morocco. Polisario continued its attacks on Moroccan strongholds. To hold control of the territory, Morocco used Napalm and White Phosphorous against the defenseless Saharawis. The brutal illegal Moroccan invasion of the territory caused thousands of refugees to flee into neighboring Algerian desert, living under tents in the most inhospitable place of the world, depending entirely on International Aid and eventually Morocco built a 2000Km sophisticated isolating defensive wall around the area. A UN-monitored cease-fire was implemented in 1991, and a referendum was to decide the territory's future. Disputes regarding who would be permitted to vote delayed the referendum in the following years, during which time the two third of the territory is still illegally integrated administratively into Morocco. The 1991 peace accords included an agreement on the carrying out of a referendum among the indigenous population. The referendum was planned to give the population the option between independence or inclusion to Morocco. The referendum has, however, to this date not been carried out due to the conflict over who is entitled to vote and the Moroccans intransigence to include thousands of their own citizens in the electoral body. UN attempts to broker a peace agreement have been unsuccessful, with Morocco generally rejecting any plan that might affect its sovereignty over the area, even though this claim is far from universally recognized and in fact a majority of other nations do not recognize the Moroccan claim.
Beside its reluctant attitude to a just and democratic solution to the conflict, Morocco, which is classified universally one of the worst regime for its records on Human rights, persists in its fragrant human rights abuses against the helpless Saharawis in the occupied zones of Western Sahara, which has been for many decades under terrible military siege and media black-out.

A Christmas Letter

Dears,
We would like sincerely to express our good wishes to you for Christmas and the New Year, but there are things in our life that disrupt this joy. In the moment when millions all over the world celebrate willingly the Christmas and the New Year at home with their beloved ones, we, the people of Western Sahara unwillingly welcome our thirty five year in exile and in the most inhospitable places on earth. So, please accept our very best wishes to you, your families, and all the friendly people of your country for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all of us here in the Saharawi Refugees Camps, the occupied lands and the Diaspora.
The legend says that Saint Nicholas was a bishop of the Christian church of Myra, in Lucia, Anatolia. He enjoyed a reputation for great generosity and compassion. Legend has it that he saved the three daughters of a poor nobleman from a life of aberration, by tossing a bag of gold through an open window of their house on three separate occasions. This provided the young women with a dowry with which to procure an honorable marriage. The custom of giving gifts and support at Christmas is attributed to this legend.
In keeping with this legend, we hope that you and through you the government and people of your country bring the people who fight for their rights, freedom and dignity the honorable merits they deserve.

Just to remember


Western Sahara, the stalemate

Western Sahara; is a country in North West Africa, where the grand Sahara embraces 1500km of the Atlantic. It is almost half of Sweden. It was fiercely independent until December 1884 when, as a result of the famous Berlin Colonial Conference, the Spanish Government announced, by royal decree, its intention to take possession of Western Sahara.

Despite the fact the United Nations adopted on December 14th 1960 the Resolution 1514 (XV) in a Declaration of granting independence to colonized countries and peoples and included Western Sahara in the list of countries to be decolonized, in December1965, the U.N. General Assembly reaffirmed the Saharawi people inalienable right of self-determination and requested Spain to end its colonial rule, and despite the fact that UN facts finding visiting mission touring the country, witnessed unprecedented pro-Polisario demonstrations (May 12-19/1975) and later reporting that the overwhelming majority of Saharawis want independence and reject the territorial claims of Morocco and Mauritania and besides the fact that in 1975, the International Court of Justice holding its sessions in The Hague on the Western Sahara problem published its verdict excluding by proofs any Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara and that its people are entitled to self-determination; Spain the 100 year former colonizer of the territory handed Western Sahara over illegally to the neigbouring countries, Morocco and Mauritania in the shameful “Madrid Agreement” of 14th October 1975.

Since then, the Saharawi people struggle with pride and abnegation for freedom, dignity and independence. It has been now more than 121 years of colonial yoke among which thirty years under the Moroccan brutal occupation.
Due to huge concessions made by the Saharwi people and the Polisario Front, in April 1991, the UN General Assembly approves the Secretary-General's referendum plan, establishing Mission of the United Nations for the Organization of a Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) and in April 29th, the UN Security Council Resolution 690 approves the establishment of MINURSO. September 6th was set as a Provisional date for the cease-fire.
Unfortunately, on December 19th, Perez de Cuéllar proposes changes to voters criteria, viewed as a capitulation to Moroccan demands by allowing the introduction of thousands of Moroccans into the vote lists, people who have nothing to do with the territory. He was later offered a high position in a huge Moroccan company as a service render. Due to this derailment, the referendum has never taken place since.
More concessions and sacrifices were again made by the Saharawi people and the Polisario Front, as in March 17th, 1997 , American James Baker III installed as United Nations Special Representative in Western Sahara when he, in June 11-12 holds first talks with both sides separately in London followed by June 23-25 First official face-to-face talks held between Morocco and Polisario in Lisbon concluded by September famous Houston Accords, which was apparently considered as breaking the impasse. Morocco rejected again.
As the UN and the International Community intensify their efforts to reach a peaceful and just solution to the conflict, Morocco goes ahead in its intransigent policy, rejecting thus all possible ways to put end to Africa last colony dispute. In parallel, the Polisario Front made more concessions, previously considered impossible, so as in January 2003, James Baker announces the "new Baker Plan", the Peace Plan for Self-Determination of the People of Western Sahara. It describes a proposed Western Sahara Authority to administer the territory autonomously until the holding of a referendum in 2007 or in 2008. In a surprise move, the Polisario accepts the document as a basis of negotiations; Morocco stalls for several months, but eventually rejects the plan, stating that the kingdom will no longer accept independence as one of the ballot options. Baker resigned and reported to the UN the Moroccan attitude and intransigence as main obstacle.
The UN and the International Community put no pressure on Morocco to hounour its engagements regarding the peace Plan, but contrary, the EU has just concluded a fishing agreement with the Moroccan regime which includes the water of Western Sahara in a fragrant violation to the International law concerning the non-self-governing territory which Western Sahara figured among them since 1963 and this despite of the advisory opinion of the UN under-secretary for legal Affairs which stipulates clearly that the above concluded agreement is a violation of the International law in forces.
The Saharwi people who have been patiently waiting for thirty years in one of the most inhospitable places on earth has no other option except continuing the struggle until one day either the Moroccan regime or the International Community wakes up. So on May 25th 2005, as a celebration of the anniversary of the proclamation of the armed struggle in Western Sahara, an intifada (or uprising) begins in the whole territory. A new phase of the struggle of the people of Western Sahara starts and is again on trails for freedom, dignity and independence.

The funny king of Morocco

He is Emir (prince) of the Mouminine (Believers), supreme representative of the Nations, symbol of its unity, guarantee of the continuity of the state, watch over the respect of Islam and the constitution, He is the protector of rights and freedoms of the citizens, social groups and collectivities. He guarantees the independence of the nation and the integrity of the kingdom territory and its authentic borders. The king appointed the Prime minister. He appointed the other member of the Government (under proposition by the one he appointed as his prime minister). He heads the minister’s council, the high council of the Majistrature, the high council of education and the high council of the National promotion and planning. He promulgates the law, signs and ratifies the treaties. The king is the supreme commander of the armed royal forces. He accredits ambassadors to the foreign powers. The ambassadors and international organs are accredited to him. He declares the state of emergency and curfew and exercises the grace and forgiveness.What else left for democracy? In Morocco there are at least 15 security apparatus among them as examples:1- the royal army.2-royal gendarmerie.3-war royal gendarmarie.4-security.5-mobile intervention group.6-anti-riots forces.7- urban security group, famous as(GUS).8-territory security service (anti-espionage).9-general direction of investigation and documentation.10- military intellegence.11.auxiliary forces(Makhzy).12- informers. Police…..
What else left for the subject: shit

ÚLTIMOS ACONTECIMIENTOS EN LOS TERRITORIOS OCUPADOS DEL SÁHARA OCCIDENTAL. 06 marzo de 2007


En el día de hoy, 06 de marzo de 2007, a las ocho de la mañana, las autoridades de ocupación marroquíes, han presentando ante la sala del Tribunal Penal del Aaiún, a ocho de los presos políticos saharauis. Se trata de:

Tarrouzi Yahdih, Banga Chej, Bachir Ben Alal, Gali Zugam, Mohamed Salem Bahaha, Omar Ben Elyazid, Hayay Mohamed Maulud, Didi Abdeslam.

Los presos han aparecido en la sala, cercada por la policía y los destacamentos del GUS, coreando eslóganes como: “Referéndum ya”, “Viva el Frente POLISARIO”, “Viva Mohamed Abdelaziz”, “Fuera Marruecos”...

En un vano intento del presidente del Tribunal, que pretendió hacerles callar en varias ocasiones, los presos políticos saharauis continuaron entonando consignas hasta que se ordenó que fueran desalojados de la sala. En medio de empujones y palizas, los presos políticos fueron devueltos a la cárcel aplazándose el juicio nuevamente para el día 20 de marzo.

Las palizas continuaron dentro de los furgones de la policía en los que fueron trasladados, encerrándolos maniatados al llegar a la cárcel, durante varias horas.

En la tarde de hoy, fue presentado otro grupo de presos encabezado por Brahim Sabar, secretario general de la Asociación Saharaui de Víctimas de Violaciones Graves de Derechos Humanos Cometidas por el Estado marroquí, y Ahmed Sbaim, miembro de la misma asociación, junto a otros cuatro presos más que son:

Hmaidat Ahmed Salem
Gasmi Lehbib
Taoubali Hafed
Loumadi Abdeslam

éstos han sido repartidos en tres expedientes.

Primer expediente: Brahim Sabar y Ahmed Sbai
Segundo expediente: Hmaidat Ahmed Salem, Gasmi Lehbib, Taoubali Hafed

Tercer expediente: Loumadi Abdeslam

En la sala se encontraban algunos familiares de los presos, siendo el resto policías de los distintos cuerpos de seguridad marroquíes.

El resultado de este juicio es el siguiente:

Brahim Sabar y Ahmed Sbai, un año de prisión firme.
Hmaidat Ahmed Salem, Gasmi Lehbib y Taoubali Hafed, tres años de prisión firme.
Loumadi Abdeslam, su juicio ha sido aplazado para día 20 de marzo.

El despliegue policial en las calles del Aaiún, la persecución a los escolares saharauis a la salida de las instituciones escolares y la expulsión de los alumnos de los liceos por manifestarse con banderas nacionales saharauis, está arrastrando a la ciudad del Aaiún a una situación angustiosa. Esta realidad se hace extensible a todas las ciudades ocupadas del Sáhara Occidental.

مظاهرات وعمليات بطولية بالعيون المحتلة

العيون المحتلة : 25 فبراير 2007

** في إطار تجدد فصول انتفاضة الاستقلال المباركة، وفي خضم فعاليات تخليد الذكرى الواحدة والثلاثون للدولة الصحراوية، قام أبطال الانتفاضة على الساعة السابعة والنصف من ليلة البارحة، بحي معطى الله الصامد بشارع قيدوم المعتقلين السياسيين الصحراويين سيدي محمد ددش، بتنظيم مظاهرة سلمية رفعوا خلالها العديد من الأعلام الوطنية ورددوا الشعارات الوطنية الرافضة لوجود الاحتلال، كما وزعوا العديد من المناشير المنادية برحيله، والمعلنة لتخليد الذكرى الغالية، هذه المظاهرة التي لم تدم طويلا حيث عرفت تدخلا بربريا آخر كالعادة، من طرف تشكيلات تابعة لأجهزة الاحتلال، مما اضطر الأبطال إلى الدخول في مواجهات غير متكافئة بين الطرفين .
** وفي نفس الليلة عرفت زنقة ما يسمى " زاوية الشيخ " هي الأخرى مواجهات ومشادات بين أبطال الانتفاضة وأجهزة الاحتلال بعد أن نظم الأبطال مظاهرة أخرى مخلدة للذكرى الواحدة والثلاثين، هذه المظاهرة رفع خلالها العديد من الأعلام الوطنية، كما تم ترديد العديد من الشعارات المعلنة للتضامن مع المعتقلين السياسيين الصحراويين القابعين خلف زنازن السجون المغربية الرهيبة .
** وعلى الساعة الثانية من صبيحة اليوم، قام الأبطال بتوزيع العديد من المناشير الوطنية المتمسكة بالجبهة الشعبية لتحرير الساقية الحمراء ووادي الذهب كممثل وحيد وشرعي للشعب الصحراوي، وذلك بمقر قاعة تيرس حيث يقام احتفال لأحد الأعراس.
** وفي حدود الساعة الرابعة من صبيحة اليوم قام الأبطال بعمليات بطولية واسعة تجلت في الكتابة على الجدران، ونصب العديد من الأعلام الوطنية من مختلف الأحجام وذلك بزنقة ما يسمى " القاسم الزياني " .
واليوم وعلى الساعة الواحدة زوالا، أقدم الأبطال على نصب علمين من الحجم الكبير بزنقة ما يسمى
" أوكيمدن " .
وللعلم فإن العيون العاصمة لا زالت تعرف حصارا وتطويقا غير عادي ، من أجل كبح جماح المظاهرات والعمليات البطولية التي تعرفها العاصمة هذه الأيام بمناسبة الذكرى الواحدة والثلاثين لإعلان الجمهورية الصحراوية .






السمارة المحتلة 26-02-07
كما عاودنا أبطال انتفاضة الاستقلال المباركة بأعمالهم النضالية الراقية احتضن شارع النصر بالسمارة المحتلة على الساعة الثامنة صباحا مظاهرة سلمية شارك فيها مجموعة من الشباب الصحراوي . مخلدين الذكرى الحادي والثلاثين للإعلان عن الجمهورية العربية الصحراوية الديمقراطية ، تم من خلالها ترديد شعارات السخط والعار والتلويح بالأعلام الوطنية زيادة على هذا توزيع المناشير ورفع يافطات :

>>> جماهير السمارة المحتلة تحتفل بالذكرى الحادي والثلاثين للإعلان عن الجمهورية العربية الصحراوية الديمقراطية.
>>> الجمهورية العربية الصحراوية الديمقراطية حقيقة لا رجعة فيها.

ومن جهة أخرى وحسب مصادر مطلعة بالأمر تم تبليغنا عن اعتقال التلميذ الصحراوي البطل " حكيم النفّاع" اليوم 25/02/2007 من أمام احد مقاهي الانترنت ، التلميذ الصحراوي تعرض لأبشع أنواع التعذيب الجسدي من مختلف مناطق الجسم إضافة إلى السب والشتم والبصق على الوجه ليتم بعد ذلك رميه بالقرب من مقر " الشبكة" ولا زالت أسباب اعتقال التلميذ الصحراوي غامضة ومجهولة.

مدينة العيون المحتلة


لازالت قوات الاحتلال المغربي بقيادة كل ضباط الامن بمختلف رتبهم تواصل حملتها الشرسة من اجل إسكات انتفاضة الاستقلال المجيدة، فبعد سلسلة متواصلة من العمليات البطولية مساء امس و ليلة البارحةالتى تخللتها المظاهرات بالاعلام الوطنية و رفع الشعارات تخليدا للذكرى الواحد و الثلاثون و المطالبة برحيل المستعمر المغربى و توزيع الاعلام الوطنية ووضع المتارس أقدمت قوات الاحتلال المغربي على الاعتداء على مجموعات كثيرة من المتظاهرين الصحراويين جلهم من النساء والأطفال وهذه لائحة اولية بأسماء المعتقلين والجرحى :



لبرص امبارك
15 سنة
درويش لعروسي
16 سنة
اشتوكي عمار
16 سنة
درويش حمة
19 سنة اعتقل لمرات متعددة

كما شملت تلك الحملة اعتقال أكثر من 14 تلميذ صحراوي من داخل مؤسساتهم التعليمية
مدينة العيون المحتلة

فى جو من القمع الوحشى و الحصار الممنهج بمدينة العيون المحتلة ردا على المظاهرات و النضالات المتواصلة بمناسبة تخليد الذكرى الواحدة و الثلاثين لاعلان الجمهورية تم اليوم استقدام المعتقلين السياسيين الستة الى محكمة الاستناف التى كانت مسيجة بالاجهزة الامنية العلنية منها و السرية .

و امام الموقف الذى اتخذته هيئة الدفاع بانسحابها الجماعى من الملف و غياب المحامى المعين من طرف هيئة المحامين باكادير و امتناع المعتقلين السياسيين عن الكلام و تشبثهم بمحاميهم الاصليين لم يبقى امام محكمة الظلم سوى تأجيل المحاكمة الى غاية يوم 6 مارس المقبل.
و للتذكير فقد حر الجلسة 3 محاميات قادمات من جزر الكنارى فيما تم منع عدد كبير من المواطنين الدخول الى قاعة المحكمة.
المظاهرات المخلدة للذكرى الواحدة والثلاثين

الدولة الصحراوية حقيقة لا رجعة فيها الحرية للمعتقلين السياسيين الصحراويين
بعدها خرجت الكلاب البشرية من جحورها المتنقلة بمختلف تشكيلاتها من : امن وطني ، وقوات مساعدة ، وتدخل سريع والتي لم تستسغ هذا الفعل النضالي البطولي رغم الحصار والطوق الأمني المفروض على المدينة والتعزيزات الأمنية الكبيرة التي تلقوها ليحاصروا حي السكنى الأبي من كافة مداخله ويقتحموا سطح منزل أهل البلال لحبيب البلال ويعتقلوا المناضلتين الصحراويتين : عزيزة جاعة ، وحيات الحسين ، وينهالوا عليهم بالسب والشتم ليطلق سراحهم بعد ذلك .
