Rabat – Members of Morocco’s diaspora in Germany organized a sit-in over the weekend in Bremen to emphasize Morocco’s position over the Western Sahara conflict.
A group of Moroccans organized the sit-in in front of the regional parliament of Bermen to raise awareness and defend Morocco’s Autonomy Plan. They drew attention to the plan as the pragmatic and credible solution to end the conflict over Western Sahara.
The Honorary Consul in Bermen Volker Kroning, in partnership with Moroccan associations, organized the two-day sit-in.
Sahrawi women from Morocco’s southern provinces, along with members of Moroccan NGOs, participated in the sit-in.
Kroning supported the demonstrators’ position, stressing the exclusivity of the Autonomy Plan as the solution to end the conflict.
Khadijatana Maalainine, a politician and go goodwill ambassador to the UN Human Rights Council, emphasized that “it is time to put an end to this dispute which lasted too long, put.”
She said that Morocco’s Autonomy initiative is the “best solution.”
Abderrahim Nass, president of the Network for Research and Dialogue, denounced the human rights violation by the Polisario Front in the Tindouf camps.
Nass recounted Polsiario’s approach to recruiting children in the military and the embezzlement of aid intended for Sahrawis.
Several international NGOs denounced Polisario’s unabashed recruitment of children, describing the use of child soldiers as “human exploitation” and violation of international conventions on the rights of the child.
In 2021, a hashtag against child exploitation in Polisario-controlled camps in Algeria went viral on social media.
Human rights activities and NGOs have long been denouncing the Polisario Front’s embezzlement of humanitarian aid intended for Sahrawis.
In 2015, the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) exposed the embezzlement of humanitarian aid intended for refugees in the Polisario-run camps.
The report showed that separatist group leadership has regularly been directly involved in selling the donated humanitarian aid in the Mauritanian and sub-Saharan markets for the purpose of buying weapons.
