Sahrawi organization denounces Morocco's actions in Ceuta

Observador12 September 2026 at 11:50

A Sahrawi organization denounced Morocco's actions in Ceuta. The complaint was presented in Lisbon by the president of AFAPREDESA, an association representing families of Sahrawi prisoners and the disappeared.

During the accusation, the president of AFAPREDESA attributed to Morocco torture practices and forced disappearances in the context of the Western Sahara conflict.

In addition, Morocco was accused of blocking visits by international organizations to Western Sahara, including missions from the United Nations and the International Red Cross.

The situation occurs within the framework of the territorial dispute between Morocco and the Sahrawi people over the control of Western Sahara, a territory considered one of Africa's largest pending decolonization problems.

Why this matters

The complaint directly affects relations between Morocco and Spain, given that Ceuta is Spanish territory on Moroccan soil, and may have diplomatic implications for both countries. Readers in Portugal and Europe are interested because the organization is based in Lisbon, and the case involves blocked international human rights missions. The article emerges in the context of ongoing tensions over the status of Western Sahara, a disputed territory for decades.

Indian prime minister calls on BRICS for a roadmap to reform global governance

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi called at the BRICS summit in New Delhi for a roadmap to reform global governance, arguing that the current structure functions as a pyramid where power and decision-making are concentrated at the top, while affected countries lack the capacity to influence. Modi outlined three axes for reform — representation, responsiveness, and norm-making — and stressed that the reform of the United Nations Security Council "can no longer be postponed," demanding negotiations with set deadlines. India, which holds the rotating presidency of the bloc, sought to position BRICS as a platform for reforming the international system and not as a confrontation alliance, arguing that the Global South should cease being merely a recipient of norms to participate in their development.
