The "Sahara Libre" festival, held in the Spanish city of Rivas-Vaciamadrid, served as a significant platform to spotlight the Sahrawi issue, aiming to enhance international solidarity with the Sahrawi people in their quest for self-determination. This vibrant event sought to break the media blockade surrounding the occupied territory, which often aims to obscure the severe violations perpetrated by the Moroccan occupation forces. By bringing together activists, artists, and speakers, the festival not only raised awareness but also fostered a sense of community and resilience among those advocating for the rights of the Sahrawi people.
