On 7 November the representative of the Polisario Front in Spain, Bucharaya Beyun, reported that: "Morocco wants to make a slaughter in silence. So do not want access anyone Laayoune "," will be imminently violent military intervention. " Given these caveats, the world is not echoed. Why is it we never hear? ... "For convenience, necessity, desirability? All signs are in front of our eyes and never see anything. Walk through life blind to deny the obvious indifference.
October 9 rose some 12 kilometers east of Laayoune, the capital of occupied Western Sahara, the protest camp Gdeim Izik. The action was a form of peaceful protest of the Saharawi people reject the Moroccan colonial policy since 1975 remains in that territory, a policy of marginalization, repression and plunder natural resources of a nation first invaded by Spain, after Morocco. This camp at Camp Dignity was the largest demonstration since the Saharawi people no longer Sahara English province. This measure attempted to repeat in other cities such as Dakhla, Smara and Boujdour, but were quickly and violently repressed by the Moroccan authorities. Until November 7 Gdeim camp Izik tents grew to 7000 fitted with a population of about 20,000 people. .
On October 23 the teenager Saharawi Nayem Elghari, 14, was shot dead by Moroccan agents when he tried access to the camp and was later buried in secret. Others who were with him were wounded, some were hospitalized after being taken to the Gendarmerie units War, where they were tortured and interrogated, and others were moved to the Black Prison of Aaiun. These events exacerbated the tension. That
November 7, Bayun made a call to the international community to prevent a possible tragedy that ultimately took shape, and recalled that there have been many warnings that the Saharawi representatives have made to the international community about the danger facing his people. "If something happens, the international community is responsible." No warning, no request was heard, nothing was done, and the Chronicle of an announced Slaughter finally written. A chapter in the genocide carried out on the Saharan Morocco. Another chapter to the coexistence of anachronistic monarchies and miserable, servile and corrupt governments. Moreover, not only did not listen to warnings, but denied, as good Judas "knowledge of the operations (which yesterday showed it was not as well).
On November 8, at 06:00 began the eviction of the camp. The Moroccan army violently entered using water cannons, tear gas, batons and firing those who were there. Army trucks came crushing and burning the tents.
Following the dismantling of the camp battle began in Laayoune. Sahrawi who came from the camp with those who were in the city took to the streets to face with sticks and stones, the Moroccan army and police attacked them with armored personnel carriers and riot.
Terror still reigns even in the capital of Western Sahara.
military control of the city and persecution captained by pro-Moroccan settlers and security forces against the population of the city, extends for several quarters. Gradually, the numbers of deaths continues to rise: 19 people were killed, 730 injured and 160 are missing would be found in the environment of Laayoune and in the capital, as reported by Beyún.
The number of Sahrawi prisoners is steadily increasing due to indiscriminate Sahrawis sequestration in their own houses, apart from the Moroccan military, with the help of hundreds of settlers who patrol the city. Morocco has completely surrounded the area. Abuse of power is total, and the violation of basic human rights. Morocco
admitted yesterday the arrest of 163 persons linked with the unrest and denying the disappearance of a Sahrawi activist the hours before the assault on the camp Agdeim Izik. Also, Rabat confirmed the tenth death in their security forces, police, members of the military intervention and civil protection as well as a civilian. Saharawi Foreign Minister claimed that Morocco has made the city morgue to scatter corpses through the streets. According to sources in the area, the Moroccan security forces have declared a warrant for the arrest of the eight members of the coordination committee violently dismantled the camp on Monday. Rabat has not confirmed the existence of it. Morocco
quartered and being used as detention centers and torture well-known, Murabitin schools, Mansur Dahbi, Jerilla and Lamsal, serving as secret locations, and in time were the Kal-al centers or Agdes Magoun, practices are known by the Saharawi population.
According to sources in the occupied territories contrasted, given the scale of arrests and attempts to free the detainees, the Moroccan troops are transferred to groups of detainees to Morocco, hiding also the possibility of international control. Military control in Laayoune is brutal and Saharawi are makes it impossible to gather evidence of assaults and murders being committed by Morocco.
Neither Spain, or the European Union and United Nations have condemned the events, but the latter asked yesterday "restraint" on both sides to prevent the escalation of violence worsens. In line with the UN, the European Commission this week expressed concern about the "wave of violence" in Western Sahara, has deplored the deaths and has urged both sides to maintain calm and avoid violence. Representatives of the Commission and Morocco are meeting in Brussels to discuss the future of the current fisheries agreement and the possibilities for renewal.
The assault came the same day he was scheduled to resume in New York talks between Morocco and Polisario on Western Sahara. The independence movement had doubts, but sat at the table in Manhassert (near New York). It was an informal meeting and the results were not disclosed.
UN spokesman, Martin Nesirky, lamented that the first of two days of talks convened by the Organization Special I bid for Western Sahara, Christopher Ross, coincides with the violent dismantling the protest camp Gdeim Izik, on the outskirts of Laayoune.
Foreign Minister of Democráctica Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR), Mohamed Ould Salek, who described what happened "act of barbarism", said negotiations with Morocco "can not advance in circumstances so grave" as those experienced in Laayoune, which "undermine confidence" between the parties and "discredit" to the UN.
Ould Salek said the Saharawi delegation in New York has demanded the UN to "take appropriate measures, including return to the site of a research mission to" shed light on the atrocities committed by Morocco. "
Sahrawi population has historically been an independent population of the Moroccan kingdom. However, since Spain abandoned the Sahara the Government of Morocco has claimed for itself the Saharawi territories. Morocco's claim is, however, completely illegal and responds only to an expansionist desire originated in the control of economic resources of the Sahara.
The International Court of Justice and numerous Security Council resolutions of the UN, has been vindicated by the Saharawi people, recognizing their right to decide their future through a referendum which must include the possibility of self-determination. That is, the people must be able to decide whether to create an independent state of Morocco or not. The Sahara is the last case pending settlement resolved in Africa.
English authorities avoided condemning the violence in Morocco and is limited to show "concern." "The English government's position has been very behind, even for the French, who is an ally of Morocco, claimed yesterday the representative of the so-called Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic and the Frente Polisario's UN Amhed Bukhari. "Spain poured water into the fire caused by Morocco," he concluded.
Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Trinidad Jiménez, Spain insists that it calls for the UN to intervene in the matter and explained that Spain does not support the requests of one or the other part. However, with respect to the first point, the Minister aware that Spain has played an especially important role in the history of the Saharawi people and is directly responsible for their situation. Western Sahara is a territory, which officially became a English province, and that Spain left abandoned to their fate and that is still pending the completion of the process of decolonization. This situation of the Sahrawi is due to the poor start in Spain of that land. Not surprisingly, according to the legal services of the United Nations, Spain is still responsible for the decolonization of Western Sahara. The Foreign Minister can not reconcile conflicting positions using a "goodism" insulting. Can not ask for "restraint and calm" while a party with impunity trample the most basic rights of those who were only peacefully exercised their right to protest. It can not be that Ms. Jimenez, and the government of that part is not able to strongly condemn these acts. On the second point, the Minister is deaf to the fact that the Sahrawi case is an abuse of power and misappropriation of a territory to which we need a clear position: the defense of the Sahrawi people. But the saddest and most complex of all the matter is that the government of Spain and the governments of the world were informed by the dictatorship Moroccan the Saharan town was to be dismantled on the orders of the United States, under the pretext that the camp could be infiltrated by members of the Al-Qaeda, strong and justified argument as to wipe out an entire whole people, either by global security, as has happened in Afghanistan and Iraq, or the safety of a sector of the population.
What stops a story? Why not publish a newspaper which should be published? If tweeter Alejandro Sanz writes that Chavez will not let him play in Venezuela, all the world's media, without exception, speak of the horrible dictatorship of Hugo Chavez, Cuba if 20 women dressed in white walking through the streets of Havana to protest against the Castro government, the whole world takes editorial denouncing the dictatorship of Fidel and the lack of freedom that prevails in the island. Now, in the Western Sahara kill at least 19 people, injuring 730, are disappearing at 160 and imprisoned more than a thousand by peacefully demanding their fair share and no or very few media talk about it .
730 wounded, 19 dead, 160 missing are just figures but behind these figures there are stories incomplete, caught destinations, trimmed morning, behind these figures there is violence and oceans of tears scattered across a desert of ice and darkness. The uncertainty of not knowing what happened to the fellow, relatives, friends, joins the 35 years of exile that have some. In the camps and delegations SADR flags flying at half mast. These are days of pain, reflection, organization and above all, endurance.
winds of war between the haimas and beits, and perhaps that was what I was looking for the Moroccan regime. Young people want guns, they want to fight for themselves and their siblings who are being killed in an operation planned and executed perfectly. Morocco provides weapons to the settler population, aware of the many privileges that can lose, was beating Sahrawi in a bloodbath comparable only to the early days of the Occupation.
He touched the Saharawi people have a neighbor to a fascist feudal state like Morocco, whose prisons enjoy a reputation as a mass grave in which are encapsulated live who dare to demand democracy in their country but the world makes the side view because Morocco is part of the military of U.S. domination of the planet. The same applies to the Sahara, whose sufferings are ignored so as not to displease the powerful of this world.
Morocco, showing old titles, not recognized in the Arab world, intends to own all the land it reaches the river in southern Senegal, and denies the right Saharan a self-determined. Consequently Sahara invaded and annexed it.
how long people have to endure their government?
How much should a people be humiliated for the world to recognize the suffering endured?
how long a body can withstand without breaking?
How long a people can endure the tithe?
how long one can turn the other cheek not to explode in anger?
How many improprieties must make a ruling for his constituents say "Basta!, We are here, we have to do something?
How many deaths must have for a genocide is recognized as such by the mass media?
What degree of immorality must earn the leaders of a country to decide to stop their subordinates to justify the actions as "proper circumstantial accident?
What needs to happen so that people really are twinned and together fight against the status quo that maintains the system that corrupts and kills us?
How many times has to be the pitcher to the source for breaking of a damn time, and the situation of laxity, which is constantly be changed?
How much blood must be run under the bridge for a good time and always tear down the pillars of marginality and misery actually hold this crazy and decadent?
How many misfortunes, many surprises, many disappointments we have to realize that we live in a world of violence, neglect, and looting? How many more landfills
build with our consumerism and comfort until we realize that we're drowning in them?
How long will be worth more than the life of an American, a European than an African or Latin American?
How much longer will be hypocrites, defending narrow interests and values, usurers and exploiters?
What has to happen, what we have to observe, that bothers us with this reality broken?
What has to happen to stop being indifferent in this hell that we burned?
What more will it take for us to defend the Sahrawi people's outrage in Morocco?
What else should happen for the whole world recognizes that Western Sahara is a commonwealth? Just
Saharan genocide and global ... immediately condemned the atrocities committed by Mohammed VI in Western Sahara.
