Moroccan Delegation Faces Rejection at World Social Forum
The recent 17th edition of the World Social Forum, held in Cotonou, Republic of Benin, has proven to be a significant platform for international solidarity with the Sahrawi people's quest for freedom and independence. Reports indicate that the efforts of the Moroccan occupation regime to propagate its colonial narrative were met with overwhelming resistance and failure. Various delegations from around the globe actively participated in the forum, demonstrating a united front against colonialism and supporting the Sahrawi cause.
According to sources, the Moroccan delegation struggled to gain traction and counter the wave of solidarity showcased by the attendees, including workshops and awareness sessions organized by the Sahrawi representatives. These activities were instrumental in educating civil society actors in Benin about the ongoing struggles faced by the Sahrawi and Palestinian peoples. A notable highlight of the forum was a large march where participants proudly raised the flags of the Sahrawi Republic, accompanied by banners that conveyed messages of solidarity with both the Sahrawi and Palestinian struggles.
The Sahrawi delegation made significant contributions to the forum by establishing a dedicated pavilion for civil society organizations. This space was designed to inform visitors about the history and ongoing struggle of the Sahrawi people. Additionally, the pavilion served as a venue for bilateral meetings with representatives from various international organizations, fostering dialogue and collaboration. In stark contrast, the activities initiated by the Moroccan occupation delegation attracted minimal interest, underscoring the growing international support for the Sahrawi cause.
