The Riffian National Party’s conference in Brussels highlighted the right to self-determination for the Rif, their history, and the current occupation by Morocco and Spain. It calls for international recognition as a nation, rejects threats to Spain, and advocates for mutual support with Western Sahara in their struggle for independence and regional sovereignty.
John Bolton criticizes Morocco’s autonomy plan in Western Sahara, emphasizing that international law supports Sahrawi self-determination through referendum. He rejects Moroccan propaganda linking Polisario to terrorism, highlights regional tensions with Algeria, and advocates for a genuine, UN-backed vote, portraying Morocco’s current approach as a diplomatic and legal impediment.
The Sahrawi Front fights for Sahrawi self-determination and dignity, despite international recognition challenges. Their struggle reflects a quest for justice, sovereignty, and human rights against Moroccan occupation and violations. Supporting Polisario is vital for justice, sovereignty, and international solidarity with the oppressed Sahrawi people.
The Rif region, home to the Berber population in Morocco, has faced oppression and human rights violations since the 1956 invasion. The Hirak movement, led by Brahim Zefzafi, fights for social justice, while the Moroccan government responds with repression and militarization, reflecting similar tensions in Western Sahara.
The Makhzen plays a crucial role in Moroccan politics, influencing various aspects of governance and society. It is examined in literature such as Kenneth Katzman's analysis in the U.S. Congressional Research Service, The Washington Institute’s exploration of political institutions, and studies on the impact of the Arab Spring and succession politics.
