Madrid (Spain), 13 November 2026 (SPS) – The 50th International Conference of the European Conference of Support and Solidarity with the Sahrawi People (EUCOCO) opened this evening in Madrid under the slogan “The Right to Self-Determination Is Non-Negotiable.”
The conference is being held under the supervision of EUCOCO President Pierre Galand and Sahrawi Prime Minister, member of the National Secretariat, Buchraya Hamudi Beyoun, with the participation of delegations from several European countries, Algeria and Latin America, as well as international solidarity figures and a high-level Sahrawi delegation.
The conference comes amid renewed international support for the Sahrawi people's right to self-determination and independence, as expressed by several countries before the United Nations General Assembly.
The programme will address various aspects of the Sahrawi people's struggle, including human rights violations in the occupied territories of Western Sahara, the illegal exploitation of Sahrawi natural resources, and the restrictions and media blackout imposed by the Moroccan occupation.
The event also aims to strengthen international coordination and solidarity in support of the Sahrawi people's right to self-determination and independence.
