In a statement to Equipe Media, Sahrawi journalist Salha Boutengiza hailed the European Court of Justice’s October 4, 2024, ruling as a historic victory for the Sahrawi people. Based in the occupied territories, Boutengiza described the decision as a clear affirmation of justice and democracy, underscoring Morocco’s illegitimate claim to Western Sahara.
She emphasized that the Polisario Front, as the sole legitimate representative of the Sahrawi people, should have control over the region’s resources. Boutengiza called upon foreign companies complicit in the Moroccan occupation to cease their exploitation of Sahrawi wealth, arguing that the ruling obligates them to halt their involvement. She concluded by expressing hope for a future decision that would secure full independence for the Sahrawi people.
