CMRS Seminar Series:
Sahrawi Refugees: Quo Vadis
Ashraf Milad Ruxi (Asylum Lawyer and Researcher)
6:30-8:00pm, 24 February 2020
Oriental Hall, Tahrir Campus, American University in Cairo
The seminar is a testimony based on first-hand information based on the speaker’s experience as a former UNHCR Field Officer in Sahrawi refugee camps in Tindouf, Algeria. The presentation will briefly provide the historical background on the Saharawi issue, shedding some light on the livelihood of refugees in Algeria, their relationship with POLISARIO, and Algerian and Moroccan authorities. The seminar will also address the sufferings of families who had been separated and scattered among five main camps in Algeria, as well as the efforts made by UNCHR to facilitate family visits from the camps to home cities in Western Sahara and vice versa.
