On the night of May 18, 2026, Aminatu Haidar, a prominent Sahrawi human rights defender and president of the Sahrawi Instance Against Moroccan Occupation (ISACOM), arrived in Ljubljana, Slovenia's capital. Her visit is aimed at raising awareness about the Sahrawi cause and highlighting the ongoing human rights violations perpetrated by Morocco in the occupied territories of Western Sahara. This mission is crucial in shedding light on the plight of the Sahrawi people and advocating for their rights on an international platform.
During her time in Slovenia, Mrs. Haidar is scheduled to engage in several meetings and discussions with local civil society actors. The focus will be particularly on the human rights situation in the occupied Western Sahara, recent advancements in human rights, and the implications of the stagnation of UN peace efforts on the Sahrawi citizens and their fundamental rights. Her presence is expected to foster dialogue and enhance understanding of the Sahrawi people's struggles.
Aminatu Haidar is accompanied by Hamdi Omar, the POLISARIO Front representative in Slovenia, and Senía Bachir, who represents the POLISARIO Front in Sweden and Norway. They will be joined by a group of Slovenian supporters from the Slovenian Committee of Solidarity with the Sahrawi People, reinforcing the international solidarity efforts for the Sahrawi cause.
