El Aaiun (occupied territories), August 6, 2015 (SPS) - The Saharawi masses of occupied El Aaiun, capital of Western Sahara, condemned Wednesday, in popular demonstrations, the illegal exploitation of Saharawi natural resources by foreign companies in complicity with the Moroccan occupation authorities, in a flagrant violation of international law which prevents the exploitation of natural resources in occupied Western Sahara.
The participants in the demonstration held banners demanding the withdrawal of foreign companies from Western Sahara, and chanted slogans denouncing the illegal exploitation of Saharawi natural resources.
It should be recalled that Western Sahara Resource Watch has revealed a list of nine companies in the port of the occupied Saharawi city of El Aaiun coming from nine different countries across the world such as Agrium (Canada) and Lifosa (Lituanie). (SPS)
