Morocco鈥檚 return to the African Union is an affront not only to the people of Western Sahara but to African people
The Australian Council of Trade Unions unanimously passed a motion supporting self-determination for the people of Western Sahara at its national congress over May 15-17.
The motion also called for the Australian government to push local companies to 鈥渆nd the importation of phosphate鈥, which is plundered from Western Sahara by Morocco.
Saharawi human rights activist Malak Amidane spoke at a public forum in Sydney on May 17 as part of a national speaking tour, organised by the Australia Western Sahara Association and the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies.
