Western Saharan Activist Aminatou Haidar Demands Return to Occupied Homeland 3 of 3

In Third Week of Hunger Strike, Ailing Western Saharan Human Rights Activist Aminatou Haidar Demands Moroccan Authorities Allow Her Return to Occupied Homeland

A Western Saharan human rights activist is in the third week of a hunger strike after being deported against her will by Moroccan authorities occupying her homeland. Aminatou Haidar, known as the Sahrawi Gandhi, is at the airport on the Canary Islands and is demanding that she be allowed to return to home. Morocco has occupied most of Western Sahara since 1975. We go to the Lanzarote airport to speak with Spanish actor Guillermo Willie Toledo, who is at Haiders side, we also speak with Mouloud Said, the Washington DC representative of the Sahrawi independence movement, the Polisario Front, and with University of San Francisco Professor Stephen Zunes, co-author of the forthcoming book Western Sahara: Nationalism, Conflict, and International Accountability.[includes rush transcript]

Western-Sahara never was owned by the moroccan pigs before 1976!!!! And if you talk about books, those books you read are the books that are made by those Moroccon pigs who licks Israels bootyhole! Look at you people, you people have a sign on top of gulemim that says ''After Allah Comes the King Of Morocco'' Ya praise him more then the Prophet Mohamed SAW!WTF?!

go fuck urself u n this so called rasd you stupid idiots!!

[MrRichmonder]

The history books speak for themselves, to the Sahrawis who think they can change the outcome of this issue, good luck!!! Things have been the way they are for a loooooong time and this is not about 1976 (which was initiated by Morocco to gain independence from Spain in its southern territories), this is about hundreds of years back. Go read and do yourselves a favor instead of waiting in the stinky Tindouf tents for a miracle to happen overnight, if so, make sure you have a lot of patience.

the conflict between RASD vs Morocco Algeria 've nothing 2 do with this issue just coz Algeria support & give us place where we can stay & live peacfuly after morocco invade our land & kill thousand Sahrawis it was massacre committed by the moroccan army shameful where is ISLAM where is ARAB blood where is Humanity

viva Free sahara Polisario RASD &HIDAR aminto & others who talk about this issue & never been in western sahara i mean those moroccan who blinded by thier fake Gov Media and History

[MrRichmonder]

Algeria is trying its best to shake up the security and stbility in Morocco and collaborated with Spain to push forward with this evil yet stupid plan. This lady can go on a hunger strike until she expires and we should not care because she denounced her citizenship so why does she want to come back now, go to hell you little bitch.

Morocco made the right decision and should stick by it.

They can take her to Tindouf through Algeria or Mauritania and not let her set a foot in Morocco.

Polisario can't and never will have the sahara because simply the majority (99%) of the people there consider themselves Moroccan sahraouis , if the sahara tomorrow gain it's independance , they'll always have civil wars with the majority who didn't want independance

a lot of people have been brainwashed , thinking that morocco occupied thesahara , but how can u do that , it's like saying algéria is occupiying algiers or france is occupiying paris , it has been ours for centuries wake up

[karamnegraoui]

I pity those spanich activists and young people who protest for aminatou because all I can see is a bunch of brainwashed stupid people

polisario is not recognized by The UN and the RASD as well , if you wanna talk légally and aminatou doesn't represent all the sahrawi or even half of them , she speaks only for herself , if she wanna die , then go ahead and the majority of the sahraoui excluding a tiny majority of separatists wants to live within morocco and consider it their country
