Western Sahara — the next desert storm
By :
Diaspora Saharaui - Friday September 17, 2010
Betrayed by Spain and oppressed by Morocco, the Saharawi people of Western Sahara compare themselves to the Palestinians or the black majority in apartheid South Africa. And they want the world to know their story.
"King Mohammed VI of Morocco was visiting a hammam when a genie appeared. “I can offer you one wish," the genie said. “I’d really like to see my late father, Hassan II," Mohammed replied. “That’s a difficult request, bringing a person back from the (...)

Why the UN won’t solve Western Sahara (until it becomes a crisis)
By :
Diaspora Saharaui - Friday August 13, 2010
By Anna Theofilopoulou, Jacob Mundy, 12/08/2010
In what is possibly a first for the mainstream U.S. media, New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof recently noted some of the parallels between Israel’s occupation of Palestinian lands and Morocco’s attempted annexation of Western Sahara:
"It’s fair to acknowledge that there are double standards in the Middle East, with particular scrutiny on Israeli abuses. After all, the biggest theft of Arab land in the Middle East (...)

RASD state is the only stability factor in the region
By :
Diaspora Saharaui - Wednesday July 21, 2010
Western Sahara is Africa’s last colony. The people of Western Sahara have the right to self-determination in accordance with the International Court of Justice verdict of 1975 and also in accordance with many UN Resolutions and practice in decolonisation.
Western Sahara is a rich and large territory. The Saharawis have gained an immense tradition and experience in organisation and state building during the past three decades. They are wise, pragmatist and moderate.
The argument that (...)

ICTR lawyer Peter Erlinder, who along with others on the defense team of the Rwanda Tribunal, helped expose the US backed regime change operation which installed President Paul Kagame as Rwandan leader, has been arrested and is now in Kagame’s clutches in Kigali.
Erlinder has reportedly attempted suicide. Anyone who knows the true nature of Rwandan dictator Paul Kagame’s crimes and understands the hate he has towards Peter Erlinder, will understand why it is critical that (...)

Western Sahara and the Sahrawis: a Cross-Road or a New Road-Map
By :
Mohamed -Brahim - Wednesday May 26, 2010
The Western Sahara deadlock has been taking place for many years and caused a lot of misery, suffering, debates, and frustration among other things. The UN-brokered peace plan has only contributed to more grievance and false hopes.
Yet in Western Sahara, recent civilian nonviolent resistance has greatly impacted the lives of the Sahrawis and changed political calculations. Oppression, beatings, torture, imprisonment, unfair trails have only pushed Sahrawis to go on further and challenge (...)

Ten African countries pursuing nukes
By :
csmonitor - Sunday April 4, 2010
By Drew Hinshaw, Correspondent / April 2, 2010
Nuclear power holds promise for 10 African countries now in pursuit of building their own nuclear plants. Wind and solar solutions aren’t reliable enough, planners say, nor do they offer adequate electricity. In February, Nigerian authorities pursued talks with Iran for an exchange of nuclear know-how.
The oil giant is joined by Uganda, which passed nuclear laws in 2008 and hopes to have a plant by 2020, and by Kenya, whose government (...)

A recent post of the moroccan press agency, MAP, reported on 25 Feb 2010 that britannic MP, Derek Conway told that moroccan autonomu plan is "a viable and serious proposal" that will help settle the Sahara issue. It’s important to highlight that the Derek Conway who proposed, two years ago, a deliberately deceptive Early Day Motion in the UK Parliament in favour of Morocco’s autonomy plan is the same Derek Conway that later faces fraud investigations after being sacked by his (...)

The reform of the fisheries policies to be discussed in the EP
By :
Diaspora Saharaui - Monday February 22, 2010
The European Parliament will hold a mini plenary session in Brussels this week (24-25 February). The reform of the common fisheries policies is one of the items on the agenda. The EPs opinions on the EU’s fisheries policies have become very important, since the institution now has full co-decision rights within this area. I think that one particular area of the fisheries policies of the EU deserves special attention, namely the fisheries agreements with developing countries.

British Gas, worst place to work…in Algeria!
By :
Algerian - Sunday February 7, 2010

Days ago, while I was surfing the net, I came across this info about British Gas. It says that, for 5 consecutive years, British Gas is ranked among the top 50 places to work in UK. The ranking was based on a survey among British Gas employees. Considering the results, one would think it must be great to work for this company… not so sure, I thought…not in Algeria at least.
Obviously, those who rewarded British Gas didn’t know about the case of Meriem Mehdi. This (...)

Liberate Western Sahara
By :
Diaspora Saharaui - Wednesday January 13, 2010
Congratulations to Conservative MP Andrew Murrison for raising the issue of the Western Sahara at PMQ’s today. Sadly, Murrison’s question... "What are the Prime Minister’s views on the situation in Western Sahara" was so vague that it enabled Brown to give a similarly vague and incomprehensible reply about the need to combat terrorism. However, there have been state sponsored terrorists in Western Sahara for the last 35 years, since the Moroccans illegally invaded and (...)

COMOROS: THIRTY FOUR YEARS OF LOW BLOWS TO LEGALIZE AN INJUSTICE
By :
françoise - Wednesday November 11, 2009
The aim of France to keep the 3 other islands of the Comoros (Anjuan, Mayotte and Moheli), a chronic destabilization is to guide the political concerns of Comoros on issues related to their "survival" as the return of Mayotte in its natural environment. The draft of the Comoros in a humiliating poverty is a factor of satisfaction for France, because it stifles any hint of demands on the return of Mayotte in its natural fold. For many of the Comoros, Mayotte claim the project is absolutely (...)
