Insights on Sahrawi Natural Resources and Their Geostrategic Importance
On September 17, 2026, a significant lecture was conducted at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs headquarters, focusing on the critical subject of Sahrawi natural resources and their indispensable role in the ongoing struggle for sovereignty by the Sahrawi people. The event, led by Mr. Ghali Zubeir, the President of the Sahrawi Authority for Petroleum and Minerals, delved into the natural resources available in the Sahrawi Republic, emphasizing their strategic importance in the context of the conflict with Moroccan occupation.
Throughout the lecture, Mr. Zubeir provided a comprehensive analysis of how these natural resources can be leveraged as a potent tool in the fight against the Moroccan presence in the region. He highlighted the various types of resources available and discussed optimal strategies for their exploitation, underscoring their integral role in advancing the Sahrawi people’s cause. The lecture was well-attended, featuring key figures such as National Secretariat member and Prime Minister Mr. Bouchraya Hamoudi Bayoun, along with other officials from the Polisario Front and representatives of the Sahrawi state.
In an interview with SPS, Mr. Zubeir expressed his appreciation for the robust participation and engagement from attendees, which he deemed crucial for fostering a deeper understanding of the natural resources issue. He pointed out that the Sahrawi people are facing a dual challenge: not only are they enduring military and cultural invasions, but they are also witnessing the relentless exploitation of their resources and violations of their rights to sovereignty over their territory. This ongoing struggle necessitates a heightened awareness and proactive approach to the natural resources issue, which is vital for devising effective resistance strategies across political, economic, and legal fronts.
