Paris (France), May 12, 2025 (SPS) – The Dynamic Movement of Algerians in France (Mouvement des Algériens Dynamiques en France) has strongly condemned the decision of the French Development Agency (AFD) to invest in the occupied territories of Western Sahara, denouncing it as a violation of international law.
In a statement, the movement highlighted that the AFD announced its intention to invest in the occupied Western Sahara during a visit by one of its officials to the occupied city of El Aaiun. The movement emphasized that such a move constitutes a serious violation of the rights of the Sahrawi people.
The statement further stressed that any economic or financial activity carried out in this territory without the explicit consent of the Sahrawi people represents a blatant breach of international law, particularly United Nations resolutions and the 2002 legal opinion issued by the UN Legal Counsel.
