Hello theređź‘‹
We are Western Sahara Resource Watch. We research and campaign companies & governments that work for Moroccan interests in #WesternSahara.
We believe the occupation will not stop as long as Morocco is allowed to profit from it.
Thank you for supporting our work. 🇪đź‡

At its AGM, @hd_materials confirmed supplying #Morocco’s massive port projects in occupied #WesternSahara and increasing cement production in the territory in 2025.
The company continues to dismiss the #Saharawi people’s right to consent.

🔴 Morocco’s trade in occupied #WesternSahara’s phosphate rock is shrinking in buyers but growing in value.
Our latest report shows #Morocco made around $376.5 million in 2025 from selling #Saharawi phosphate rock to just 3 international buyers.

Morocco’s estimated phosphate revenues from occupied #WesternSahara in 2025: $376.5 million.
UN humanitarian appeal for Saharawi refugees in 2025: $103.9 million.

A #humanrights review of #NewZealand’s phosphate imports from occupied #WesternSahara sidelines core rights, overlooks legal context, and relies on “consultation” under occupation.
That is not due diligence - it’s deflection.

🚨 No documents. No data. Opaque labelling. Serious legal concerns.
Members of @Europarl_EN pushed back strongly on the @EU_Commission's handling of EU-Morocco trade covering #WesternSahara, in yesterday’s @EP_Agriculture hearing.

Behind closed doors today: @EU_Commission briefing @Europarl_EN on fisheries negotiations with Morocco, incl #WesternSahara.
Meanwhile, still no formal transmission of the final trade proposal to Parliament.
How can there be scrutiny without transparency, given the legal stakes?

đź”´ 4 of 5 operational wind farms in occupied #WesternSahara run on @Siemens turbines.
At its AGM, @SiemensEnergy defended its involvement, but sidestepped key legal questions on #Saharawi consent and EU court rulings.

🚨 Morocco has accorded land over which it has no tenable claim to gigantic #greenhydrogen projects.
Companies like @ACCIONA are moving into occupied #WesternSahara - without consent of its people.
#Greentransition doesn’t override international law.

"#WesternSahara stands as both a wound and a warning - a wound to the credibility of international law and a warning that the order built upon it is eroding under the weight of its own contradictions."

🔴 Four days after signing a #criticalminerals deal with Morocco that covers occupied #WesternSahara waters, the #USA hosted talks linked to #Morocco’s autonomy plan.
In geopolitics, parallel tracks are rarely unrelated.

🔴 Morocco has reserved land for @TAQAGroup–@MoeveGlobal’s green hydrogen project in Dakhla, occupied #WesternSahara.
But the land is not Morocco’s to give, and projects there require Saharawi consent.
Climate branding cannot mask that reality.

The joint statement from last week’s EU-Morocco Association Council asks us to suspend disbelief: autonomy without consent is self-determination, and respect for law means ignoring the EU’s own court.
Here's why this matters.

đź”´ #Greenland yes, #WesternSahara no?
As the #EU defends self-determination in the #Arctic, a test is unfolding in Brussels.
Tomorrow, EU ambassadors discuss the EU position vis-Ă -vis Morocco.
WSRW urges @EUCouncil to follow the law - not geopolitics.

How credible can #Morocco's offer of autonomy to #WesternSahara be when it prevents Sahrawi activists, such as @AminatouHaidar, from boarding a plane in Dakhla to travel to #Spain? Rabat talks a lot about autonomy, but does not seem willing to grant the Sahrawi people more freedom. x.com/AminatouHaidar/status/…
Uregente: Las autoridades de ocupaciĂłn marroquĂ al aeropuerto de Dakhla me impelieron viajar a Madrid.
