Sahrawi Representation at the Bejaia Forum
On August 21, 2026, a distinguished Sahrawi delegation, led by Khatri Addouh, a member of the National Secretariat and the Sahrawi Ambassador to Algeria, took part in a significant international forum titled "The Culture of Resistance between History, Memory and Imagination." This event was hosted in Bejaia, Algeria, to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the historic Soummam Congress (1956–2026) and to honor National Mujahid Day, all under the esteemed patronage of Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune. The forum attracted a diverse audience, including senior officials, notable personalities, and members of the diplomatic community in Algeria, alongside experts, academics, and researchers, all convening to engage in critical discussions.
The timing of this forum coincided with the ongoing activities of the 14th Summer University for Executives of the Sahrawi Republic and the Polisario Front. The comprehensive program featured a series of lectures and seminars that delved into the rich history of the Sahrawi people, emphasizing their enduring struggle against colonialism and the ongoing Moroccan occupation.
The involvement of the Sahrawi delegation at this forum served as a pivotal platform to underscore the historical experiences of the Sahrawi people in their fight against colonialism and occupation. It provided a valuable opportunity to connect their historical memory with the culture of resistance, which is essential for preserving national identity and safeguarding collective memory.
