#sahrawi arab democratic republic

[brothersnackariahsbitch]

Here’s a not so fun fact that I learned recently:

I’ve been doing a lot of geography quizzes lately to work on my geography knowledge. I noticed that there is an area in north west Africa that is constantly just left out of labeling countries. That seemed really odd to me to I did some googling to figure out the context of that.

Here is my understanding of what I’ve read:

It turns out that what is often referred to as “Western Sahara” used to be a Spanish colony. When the Spanish finally relinquished control over the area in the late 1970’s, the indigenous people of that area declared it to be the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. HOWEVER, in that same time period, Morocco decided that land actually belonged to them. There is a lot of debate on which group has legitimate rights to the area. Hence why it’s left off a lot of maps as an official country.

As a result of the Moroccan unilateral annexation, the Sahrawi people live in a humanitarian crisis. They are only in control of about 20% of the country, with Morocco occupying the rest. They are treated in an incredibly similar way to the people of Gaza pre October 7th. Traveling out of the area is almost impossible, there are land mines surrounding them, and food other vital resources are severely limited. And there is a ton of restrictions when it comes to filming in that area.

But guess who went and got involved in this occupation? That’s right! The United States of America. They were the first country to recognize Moroccan “sovereignty” of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (West Sahara). However, they recognized them in exchange for Moroccan normalization with Israel. Soon after, Israel followed suit in recognizing Morocco’s “claim” over the land.

So in summary: the USA recognized an occupation in order to help their little Zionist baby Israel, which is also an occupation! What the fuck 🙃

The 27th of February marks the anniversary of the birth of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic.

While I am far from an expert in matters relating to the Western Sahara, please let's remember today that the Sahrawi people have systematically been deprived of their right to self-determination by the Moroccan government, after having to suffer under Spanish colonialism for roughly 8 decades. Many Sahrawis live in refugee camps in Algeria in deep isolation, and those who are in the Western Sahara have to withstand attacks against their cultural identity and human rights violations on the daily, while the world turns a blind eye to them.

IVF Cost in Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a medical procedure that helps couples with infertility issues conceive a child. The procedure involves extracting eggs from a woman’s ovaries and fertilizing them with sperm in a laboratory. The resulting embryos are then transferred back into the woman’s uterus. The cost of IVF varies widely depending on where you live, the clinic you choose, and the level of care you receive. In this article, we will discuss the cost of IVF in Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic.

IVF in Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic

Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic is a disputed territory in North Africa that is not widely recognized as a sovereign state. As a result, healthcare services in the region are not well developed, and access to IVF can be difficult. However, there are a few clinics in the region that offer IVF services.

The cost of IVF in Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic can vary widely depending on the clinic and the level of care provided. The cost of IVF in the region can range from $3,000 to $8,000. This cost includes the initial consultation, egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo transfer, and follow-up visits.

Factors that Affect IVF Cost in Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic

The cost of IVF in Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic can vary depending on several factors. These factors include:

Clinic Location: The location of the clinic can affect the cost of IVF. Clinics located in major cities may have higher overhead costs, which can translate into higher fees for patients.

Type of Treatment: The type of treatment you require can also affect the cost of IVF. For example, if you require additional treatments such as pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT), the cost of your IVF cycle may be higher.

Medications: The cost of medications required for IVF can also vary depending on the clinic you choose. Some clinics may offer discounts on medications, while others may charge full price.

Age: Age is a significant factor in determining the success of IVF treatment. Women over the age of 35 may require additional treatments or a higher number of cycles, which can increase the overall cost of IVF.

Insurance Coverage: The cost of IVF in Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic may also depend on your insurance coverage. Some insurance policies cover infertility treatments, including IVF. However, not all policies cover the full cost of treatment.

Tips for Reducing IVF Costs in Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic

While IVF treatment can be expensive, there are ways to reduce the cost of treatment. Here are some tips for reducing IVF costs in Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic:

Research clinics: Do your research and find clinics that offer IVF treatment at an affordable price. Compare the prices of different clinics and choose one that fits your budget.

Consider medical tourism: Medical tourism can be a cost-effective way to access IVF treatment. You can consider traveling to other countries, such as India or Thailand, where IVF treatment is less expensive.

Look for discounts: Some clinics offer discounts on IVF treatment. You can ask the clinic if they offer any discounts or if they have any ongoing promotions.

Consider shared risk programs: Some clinics offer shared risk programs, where you pay a fixed fee for a certain number of IVF cycles. If the treatment is unsuccessful, you may receive a refund.

Conclusion

IVF treatment can be an effective way for couples struggling with infertility to conceive a child. However, the cost of IVF in Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic can be high, and access to treatment can be limited. Patients can reduce the cost of IVF by researching different clinics, considering medical tourism, looking for discounts or promotions, and considering shared risk programs.

International recognition of Western Sahara

by factswithmaps

The Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic was proclaimed by the Polisario Front on 27 February 1976, in Bir Lehlou, Western Sahara. SADR claims sovereignty over the entire territory of Western Sahara, a former Spanish colony; however, at present the SADR government controls only about 20–25% of the territory it claims. It calls the territories under its control the "Liberated Territories". As of July 2021, the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic is recognized by 39 out of a total of 193 United Nations member states. At different times, the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic has been recognized by 84 UN member states, but, of these, 45 have since "frozen" or "withdrawn" recognition. SADR has, at some point in time, been recognized by 43.5% of United Nations (UN) member states, 38 out of the other 54 (70%) African Union (AU) member states, 18 out of 57 (32%) Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) member states, and 5 out of 22 (23%) Arab League (AL) member states. Several states that do not recognize the Sahrawi Republic nonetheless recognize the Polisario Front as the legitimate representative of the population of the Western Sahara, but not as the government-in-exile of a sovereign state.

Flag Wars Bonus Round

#flag wars #polls #flags #vexillology

[david-goldrock]

The flag consists of three horizontal stripes (black, white, and green) and a red triangle on the hoist side, using Islamic religious tradition, each color has a symbolic meaning: black represents the Abbasid dynasty or the Rashidun caliphs, white represents the Umayyad dynasty, and green represents Islam (or possibly, but it is not certain, the Fatimid dynasty). The red triangle represents the Hashemite dynasty, to which Hussein bin Ali belonged.

This flag celebrates pan-arab colonialism, its a pan-arab flag, each color is a different era of imperial colonization.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_the_Arab_Revolt

The Colors represents pan-arabism, the form is of the jordanian-israeli Arabs. See in the Jordan flag the sign of the hashemite dinasty also is there

See the next paragraph of the Wikipedia you are citing:

"The flag became a symbol of Arab nationalism and unity and is still used today in various forms in the flags of Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, Sudan, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, Yemen, Palestine, Somaliland, the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, and Libya."

An Amazigh separatist movement in Algeria has enlisted an American lobbyist based in Morocco to help it make a case for support from US officials and lawmakers built on concerns over Algiers' deepening ties to Russia and harsh crackdown on pro-democracy protests. The Movement for the Autonomy of Kabylia (MAK), whose leadership is based in Paris, calls for independence for the predominantly Amazigh region in Algeria's northern mountains. According to registration documents filed this week at the US Department of Justice, MAK has recruited Elisabeth Myers, an American lawyer, to represent it in Washington. The contract was signed on 25 June. Myers registered as a lobbyist using an address in Marrakech on the same day. “Activities will involve promotion of US friendship with Kabylia, along with an understanding of the region, its people, and the impact of the Algerian government's strong-arm tactics over the region,” the documents say. MAK has already secured meetings with two US lawmakers’ offices. On Thursday, Kabylie independence leader Ferhat Mehenni will meet virtually with senior officials from Democratic Senator Tim Kaine’s office and Democratic Congressman Don Beyer, a source familiar with the matter told Middle East Eye.[...]

After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the US made a bid to pull Algeria away from Moscow’s orbit. US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken visited the country in March 2022 as part of a wider trip to the region that included a stop in Morocco. A US spokesperson said Blinken vowed to "broaden and deepen the [US] relationship with Algeria."

But Algiers has proven resistant. In June, Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune met Putin on a visit to Russia designed to strengthen cooperation between the longtime allies. Western countries have had more success gaining access to Algeria’s massive gas reserves. US energy giants Chevron and Exxon are nearing a deal that would allow them to drill in the country for the first time, Algeria’s energy minister told the Wall Street Journal earlier this month. But European countries’ rush to find alternatives to Russian gas has also empowered Algeria, which has replaced Russia as the top gas supplier to Italy, and is now shopping around for Italian-made military hardware. It is also locked in a rumbling dispute with Spain over the status of Western Sahara which has brought non-energy trade between the two countries to a halt.[...]

The separatist group's bid for influence in Washington could prove to be an indicator of the future direction of Washington’s wider relations with Algeria, a major North African exporter of gas and oil.

Algeria designated MAK a terrorist organisation in 2021. Authorities accused the group of working with Morocco and Israel to start deadly forest fires in the Kabylia region. MAK and Morocco denied the allegations. A 2021 US State Department terrorism report called the terrorism label “more political than security focused,” adding that Algerian authorities refrain from discussing the group or its threats with their US counterparts.[...]

Algeria hosts and supports the Polisario Front, a rebel movement that established the self-declared Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic in 1973 in the disputed Western Sahara, which Morocco annexed in 1975 after the end of Spanish colonial rule. The US unilaterally recognised Moroccan sovereignty over the territory in exchange for Rabat's normalisation of ties with Israel. Amazighs [...] are an ethnic group scattered across Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco and Libya whose roots in the region predate the Arab conquest of North Africa. Amazighs are believed to account for about 20 percent of Algeria’s 44 million population. Their culture and language have historically been suppressed by the Algerian government. Amazigh activists played a prominent role in the Hirak movement.

Late answer but SADR (Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic) is Western Sahara, aka a territory occupied by Morocco. It used to be a Spanish colony, but after "independence" (that Spain promised them) Morocco invaded (also Mauritania) and occupied it, still to this day. Spain did nothing about it because they also occupy Ceuta+Melila and Morocco gives them money and gas. So its... something when Moroccan players hold Palestinian flags when they do to Sahrawis what Israel does to Palestinians :/

thank you sm for sending this to me. ngl i genuinely had no idea about this issue and did my own reading after you sent this. i acc saw a thread about this (kinda) but on a wider topic of how arab/muslim countries support liberating palestine whilst simultaneously ignoring marginalised ethnic groups in their own country/regional political spheres. & like palestinian liberation is a cause that is really dear to a lot of our hearts but i think it’s always good to remind ourselves that it doesn’t exist in a vacuum & freeing palestine should be part of a wider movement to liberate marginalised/indigenous groups from the relevant systems of colonial oppression

Brazil Maintains Support for UN Political Solution for Western Sahara

The country said it is taking a “legalistic and wise” stance on the dispute.

Brazil is supporting a political solution for Western Sahara in the Security Council and is maintaining a “legalistic and wise” position on the dispute, Morocco’s Ambassador to Brazil, Nabil Adghoghi, said on Saturday.

“Brazil, with a legalistic, wise and highly respected position, has never recognized this fictitious entity [the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic] and continues to defend a political solution in the Security Council,” Adghoghi said in a column published by Brazilian newspaper Correio Braziliense.

The diplomat added that the South American country sees the UN-brokered process as a way out of the “artificial dispute” in the region, also highlighting how the UN supports Morocco’s Autonomy Plan.

“The latest UN Security Council resolution, adopted in October 2022, reconfirmed the pre-eminence of the Autonomy Plan, considered by the international community to be serious, realistic and pragmatic,” he added, specifying that 90 countries have expressed themselves to be in favor of it to date.

A War Against Oblivion by David Verberckt

On 14 November 2020, the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) president Brahim Ghali announced that he signed a decree bringing the 29 year old ceasefire to an end, citing an incident 2 days earlier in which Moroccan armed forces forcibly entered a crossing within the buffer zone that was being blocked by Sahrawi protesters, acts which the SADR considered a declaration of war. Since then the Polisario Front, the armed branch of the SADR, has been launching attacks against Moroccan positions along the 2,700 km sand wall that divides the territories controlled by Morocco since the 1991 ceasefire and the remaining 20% of the territory controlled by the SADR. Being outnumbered the Polisario Front uses highly mobile units to attack and adopts guerrilla techniques while Morocco has numerous troops engraved in bunkers along the sand berm forming the frontline. The Moroccan army has also started to use attack drones further complicating the Polisario's mobility capacity in this huge desert battlefield. Sahrawi military commander communicating with his units on the frontline near the 2,700 km long sand berm, built by Morocco, dividing the Western Sahara between the Moroccan controlled territories and Sahrawi liberated territories.
