On May 20, 2026, Sahrawi human rights advocate Aminatou Haidar arrived in Stockholm, Sweden, embarking on a mission to raise awareness about the Sahrawi cause and the ongoing human rights violations perpetrated by the Moroccan authorities in the occupied territories of Western Sahara. This visit is a pivotal part of a broader initiative aimed at fostering international solidarity with the Sahrawi people, while also shedding light on the grave injustices they endure under Moroccan occupation.
Throughout her time in the Swedish capital, Haidar is scheduled to engage in a series of crucial meetings with political figures, human rights organizations, and civil society representatives. These discussions will be complemented by her participation in various seminars and media events, where she intends to address the latest developments surrounding the Sahrawi issue. Central to her advocacy will be an examination of the humanitarian and human rights challenges faced by the Sahrawi people in the occupied regions, alongside a focus on the significant barriers that hinder the decolonization process of what is often referred to as Africa’s last colony.
