President of the Saharawi Red Crescent, Yahia Bouhobeini recently visited Euskal Herria, where he has been able to maintain contacts with institutions, parties and other actors Navarre to expose the plight of Saharan refugees living that has deteriorated sharply in recent years.
What is the purpose of your visit to Navarre?
The aim of this visit is to sensitize policy makers, civil society, political parties, NGOs ... about what is happening in the Sahara in general, but especially from the humanitarian point of view fields refugees.
When speaking of the Saharawi people, unfortunately have to repeat that it is a forgotten people.
Indeed, our concern now is that all natural crisis that are happening in the world and the legitimate demands in the Middle East and North Africa occupy the full attention of the international community in regard to humanitarian aid. We fear that all this has a negative impact on us, living a normal crisis for 37 years. The media focus on Pakistan, Afghanistan, Darfur, Iraq, Chile, now Japan, Libya ... But there is little information on the humanitarian tragedy experienced by the Saharawi people. Ours is the longest humanitarian crisis, with the exception of Palestine, and we are the only camps in a desert. Summer temperatures reach 50 degrees in the shade and the winds are terrible.
