The third day of the Summer University for Executives of the Polisario Front and the Sahrawi Republic in Boumerdes featured lectures by Algerian academics. These presentations focused on various dimensions of the Sahrawi cause, underscoring the ongoing support and academic engagement in defending the Sahrawi people's rights. The university served as a platform to discuss strategic approaches and legal frameworks pertinent to the issue.<\/p>\n
Dr. Naima Bournane's lecture, "Geopolitical Power and Bias in International Conflicts: A Reading of the Construction of the Digital Narrative on the Western Sahara Issue," emphasized the strategic use of technology to promote the Sahrawi cause, garner support, and counter disinformation. She highlighted the importance of training Sahrawi cadres in media and social media, describing these platforms as crucial battlefields for conflict management. Concurrently, Dr. Wardia Hanoush addressed "The Sahrawi People\u2019s Right to Self-Determination: An Inalienable and Established Right Between Effectiveness and Efficacy within the Framework of International Legitimacy," asserting that the Western Sahara issue is a decolonization question registered with the United Nations. Dr. Hanoush stressed the need for the Sahrawi people to diversify advocacy methods and utilize all available means to defend their cause, acknowledging a gap between international law and prevailing interests.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, Dr. Farida Ben Othmane delivered a lecture titled "The Natural Resources of Western Sahara and the Balance of International Powers," where she outlined the economic significance and strategic geographical position of Western Sahara, which has historically attracted colonial ambitions. Dr. Ben Othmane detailed the region's natural resources and presented the issue as a decolonization matter with a distinct legal dimension. She affirmed the Sahrawi people's exclusive sovereignty over their land and underscored the centrality of Western Sahara\u2019s natural resources to the conflict. Her presentation advocated for the use of legal and popular action, alongside pressure on parties complicit in resource exploitation, to defend the Sahrawi people's right to independence and cease the plundering of their resources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
