El oasis de la memoria: memoria histórica y violaciones de Derechos Humanos en el Sáhara Occidental (I)

El oasis de la memoria: memoria histórica y violaciones de Derechos Humanos en el Sáhara Occidental (I)

The book explores the historical memory of the Sahrawi people, focusing on the systematic human rights violations committed in Western Sahara since Morocco’s occupation of the territory in 1975 following Spain’s withdrawal.

Drawing on extensive first-person testimonies, the book documents cases of forced disappearances, torture, arbitrary detention, and political repression suffered by the Sahrawi population. It serves both as a historical account and as a contribution to the struggle for truth, justice, and reparation. Through a transitional justice and human rights lens, it aims to recover silenced voices and preserve collective memory, offering recognition to victims and exposing the long-standing impunity surrounding the conflict.

Ultimately, El oasis de la memoria is both a human rights report and a narrative of resistance, combining legal analysis, historical reconstruction, and personal stories to highlight the enduring impact of colonialism and occupation on the Sahrawi people.
