Occupied El Aaiún, April 22, 2025 (SPS) – The Moroccan occupation authorities persist in their systematic settlement policies against Sahrawi civilians in Western Sahara, repeatedly demolishing their homes and confiscating their lands in blatant violation of basic human and legal rights.
In this context, the Sahrawi Association ASVDH issued a statement following the Moroccan occupation authorities' commission of a new crime on Tuesday—the demolition of Sahrawi citizens' homes in the suburbs of occupied El Aaiún, specifically in the Azmila Ghazlan-Tadghast area.
This act is part of a deliberate policy aimed at displacing the indigenous population and altering the demographic composition of the territory to serve illegal settlement and annexation projects.
The ASVDH condemned these actions as a continuation of Morocco's colonial practices, calling on the international community to intervene and hold the occupying state accountable for its violations of international law and human rights conventions.
