The Wilaya de Smara hosted a significant workshop on April 21, 2026, as part of the Tenth Congress of the Sahrawi National Women's Union (UNMS). This event focused on the pressing issue of the natural resources of Western Sahara and their ongoing exploitation by Moroccan occupying authorities. Attended by delegations of foreign women, the workshop provided a platform for discussing the legal framework surrounding these natural resources, their protection, and the implications of climate change on them.
During the discussions, participants highlighted the complicity of the European Union with Morocco in the illegal plundering of Sahrawi natural resources. Many speakers emphasized the urgent need for resistance against this exploitation, advocating for the denunciation of companies involved in these activities and organizing campaigns aimed at raising awareness about the ongoing exploitation of Western Sahara's resources by the occupying state of Morocco. The emphasis on collective action and solidarity was palpable, as attendees recognized the power of unified efforts in combating these injustices.
Moreover, the workshop underscored the crucial role of the United Nations in safeguarding the Sahrawi people from the oppressive practices of the occupying authorities while ensuring the protection of their natural resources from rampant exploitation. The discussions served not only as a call to action but also as a reminder of the shared responsibility to uphold human rights and environmental justice in the region.
