To EU High Representative Josep Borell, and leaders of France, Spain, EU, and the world:

As citizens from all around Europe and the world, we call on you to urgently implement European Court of Justice rulings and international laws and conventions to ensure that the people of Western Sahara are granted their due rights for the management of their natural resources in any trade deals, and for their self-determination as they were promised. This tragic conflict has gone on for far too long -- we urge you to act swiftly to negotiate a peaceful resolution to this crisis.

Europe - Help free Africa's last colony!
Elghalia Djimi was tortured for years, with acid, dogs, and sexual violence — yet she continues her brave and gritty struggle for justice and freedom in Africa’s last colony.

Hundreds of thousands like her face brutal oppression from Moroccan authorities in Western Sahara under an international media blackout. But now we have a rare opportunity to help put an end to over 40 years of occupation.

Morocco wants a lucrative new trade deal with the European Union, which is not allowed to take the valuable octopus and other fish caught in West Saharan waters without the consent of the Sahrawi people, per a new ruling by Europe’s top court.

Europe’s new foreign policy chief is about to start his term — if we raise a massive global call to Free Western Sahara right as he takes office, we can make sure he can’t quietly ignore the laws of the land, and pressure Morocco to hand over rights to the Sahrawis. We only have days to act before a key vote… join the urgent call and share widely.
