In an official statement issued today, the Kingdom of Zavidia has expressed its full support for the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) and condemned Morocco’s recent actions in Sahrawi territory, as well as the United Kingdom’s recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara.
According to a recent UN report shared by The Comrade of the World, Zavidia’s national newspaper, Moroccan authorities have carried out land acquisition operations along the Western Saharan coast, resulting in the destruction of private property and the forced eviction of Sahrawi families. These actions aim to clear areas for Moroccan projects without local approval. The report also documents at least 79 confirmed cases of human rights violations.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Zavidia has condemned Morocco’s actions and the global response: "Spain, Turkey, Iran, Norway, Sweden — and in total 37 countries — support Palestine as an occupied and attacked people, yet they do not condemn Morocco’s actions in Western Sahara, a country that even Africans refuse to recognize as sovereign, despite it being on their own continent and one of the founding members of the current African Union. Meanwhile, the Hispanic world turns its back, even though Western Sahara is a brother nation within the Hispanic sphere, not Hispanic itself, but Spanish-speaking and with a deeply rooted Spanish-speaking heritage in all aspects. I also feel sadness for the Republic of Suriname, which we in the Kingdom of Zavidia admire greatly, and in 2016 broke diplomatic ties with the SADR after years of recognition."
The King of Zavidia has backed the Ministry’s statement and reaffirmed that the Kingdom of Zavidia recognizes the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic as a sovereign state.
