A conference hosted by the Atsiuok association at Leipzig University in Germany focused on the Western Sahara issue, emphasizing human rights and international accountability. Sahrawi representative Mohamed Aba Dakhil highlighted that the Spanish decolonization process remains unfinished since 1975, hindered by the Moroccan occupation. Speakers criticized foreign investments, specifically by German companies in occupied territories, referencing the October 2024 European Court of Justice ruling. Diplomat Ibrahim Mokhtar provided a historical overview of the Sahrawi struggle and the rise of the Sahrawi Republic, while researchers like Maya Cevik and Kord Boymann discussed the influence of political narratives and resource exploitation. The event also featured a week-long photo exhibition and a documentary detailing the challenges faced by Sahrawi women living under occupation, aiming to raise awareness about the ongoing struggle for self-determination.
