Mass demonstrations in Sahrawi refugee camps demanding self-determination
A significant popular mobilization took place on Thursday in the Aousserd refugee camp, where citizens of all ages gathered to reaffirm their commitment to the Sahrawi people's right to self-determination and independence. Demonstrators rejected any solution that fails to guarantee this fundamental right and expressed their full support for the Polisario Front as their sole legitimate representative. Speakers highlighted that five decades of sacrifice have only strengthened their resolve for freedom. These protests, mirrored by similar events in Laayoune, Boujdour, Dakhla, and Smara, reflect the ongoing public demand for an end to the occupation as the UN Security Council prepares to address the Western Sahara issue.
