The Plundering of Western Sahara

Here is the proof that Morocco is mining the phosphates in occupied Western Sahara.

Phosphate rock from the Bou Craa mines are exported from Western Sahara in violation of international law. The mining is done by the Moroccan state phosphate company, OCP.

While this unethical and politically controversial mining is reaching unprecedented levels, the indigenous Sahrawi population in Western Sahara is suffering from serious human rights violations committed by Moroccan authorities. The majority of the population, however, has fled the country, and are currently living in reufgee camps in the Algerian desert.
