Western Sahara Resource Watch works in solidarity with the people of Western Sahara. The majority of the country's indigenous population, the Sahrawis, has lived in refugee camps in the Algerian desert since Morocco occupied their homeland in 1975. A part of the Sahrawis remained in the occupied territories, where they are subjected to serious human rights violations, and where they are excluded from the major businesses of phosphate mining and fishing. More than 100 UN resolutions support the Sahrawi people's right to self-determination over their home country, a right that Morocco is denying them. WSRW today consists of organisations and individuals from more than 30 countries, who together research and campaign the foreign companies involved in the the resource rich country. We believe that the occupation of Western Sahara will not stop as long as Morocco profits from it.
