Today 18 February is the national day of the Sahrawi mother. This
day is in memory of a mother, a Sahrawi nurse who in the course of exercising
her profession in a refugee camp called Um Dreiga (southern Western Sahara) is
killed by the Andoain and white phosphorus bombs that threw the planes from
the Moroccan invasion. Here is an account of Professor Gali Zubeir, a survivor of that massacre.
To not forget...
The massacre of Um Dreiga.. Unpunished crime, was not followed and continues without punishment
Today is the fortieth anniversary of the brutal
bombardment moroccaning the civilian population of Sahrawis, the Sahrawi
population of Um Dreiga, who killed and murdered dozens of women, children and
the elderly, who were killed and wounded as a result of this brutal attack ,
which was repeated for three days causing a massive exodus of hundreds of
thousands of Sahrawi civilians from their homes to escape the genocide
practiced by the Moroccan occupation and which still remains as practised by
the Moroccan occupation against Sahrawi civilians.
At eleven hours on 18 February 1976 four
warships 18 Moroccan planes fell on the camp of a Dreiga, which concentrated a
large number of Sahrawi civilians fleeing the Moroccan invasion Mauritani and
were bombarded with phosphorus White and napalm, banned internationally, as
witnessed by the mission of the Swiss Red Cross, who received the wounded later.
The paradox is when the pilot who bombed the settlement of a Dreiga
falls prisoner and ratifies the facts about the bombing of a Um Dreiga's camp
after dropping his plane, he acknowledged that he had told his commanders that
the population that was being bombed is a pobl of civilians, but that the
orders of their superiors were that bombarded the campameto without
hesitation...
The horrific bombings were repeated on 19 and 20 February in a
treacherous way that left dozens of victims and maimed with deep-seated
physical and psychological wounds and live in our collective memory
