THE STRUGGLE OF WESTERN SAHARA FOR SELF-DETERMINATION – NONVIOLENCE & ISLAM, online

Sat Dec 13, 7 – 8:30 am Pacific time, online

The event will begin with a clear and concise political–historical overview of the occupation, providing the essential grounding needed to understand the nonviolent resistance movement led by the Saharawi people. From there, our speakers will explore how Saharawi communities have organized, documented abuses, and sustained resilience in the face of deepening repression.

You’ll hear directly from long-time Saharawi human rights activists Salka Barca, from the Western Sahara Solidarity Committee (WSSC) and Karama Sahara, Nayua Aduh, from the Committee Against the Exploitation of the Saharawi People, and Mulay Sid Ahmed, from the Saharawi Association in the USA (SAUSA). We will also be joined by David Wildman, who brings over three decades of experience in faith-based international justice work. The conversation will be hosted by Susan Smith, Director of Operations and Community Engagement at the Fellowship of Reconciliation – USA (FOR – USA).  This webinar is a rare opportunity to learn from voices deeply rooted in the struggle: those who have shaped, documented, and sustained Saharawi nonviolent resistance for decades.

hosted by the Fellowship of Reconciliation and Nonviolence International. and sponsored by Western Sahara Solidarity Committee.
