The Association of Sahrawi Women for Democracy and Human Rights, based in Las Palmas, Spain, called on Thursday in Rome for an end to the suffering of women and children detained in the Tindouf camps in Algeria. Speaking at a gathering under the theme “Women’s Voices for a Future of Peace and Justice,” held at the Italian parliament by the Association of Moroccan Women in Italy, Aïcha Rahal, president of the association, commended the growing international support for Morocco’s autonomy plan as a solution to the artificial dispute surrounding the Moroccan Sahara.
She highlighted that major nations, including the United States, have shown their support for the autonomy plan under Moroccan sovereignty as the sole solution to resolve this long-standing regional conflict.
The human rights advocate, who opposes any attempt to harm or divide the Kingdom, condemned the conditions imposed on the people detained by Polisario separatists in Tindouf camps on Algerian territory.
In agreement, Ms. Souad Sbai, former Italian MP and president of the Association of Moroccan Women in Italy, emphasized the momentum of support for the autonomy plan under Moroccan sovereignty, welcoming the progress seen in Morocco’s southern provinces on all fronts.
Ms. Sbai also highlighted the advancements made for women’s status in Morocco under the guidance of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, noting that numerous initiatives and reforms have contributed to the empowerment and development of Moroccan women. She reviewed several achievements in promoting women’s rights, calling for further efforts to strengthen women’s roles in society.
The gathering was marked by the presence of notable figures, including the president of the Italian parliament, Lorenzo Fontana, Morocco’s Consul General in Rome, Abdelhaq Jniyene, as well as Italian MPs and representatives from government, media, culture, and civil society.
