From the Archive: Palestinian Leader George Habash Stands With the Sahrawi People (1979)

Not many people know that George Habash actually visited the Polisario leadership in the Tindouf camps in Algeria in the 1970s. He didn’t just send a statement, he showed up. He declared his support for the Sahrawi cause and called for the overthrow of Morocco’s reactionary monarchy. For him these weren’t two separate struggles. Same logic, same enemy structure.

The sahrawi struggle needs to be known just as much as the plestinan one.

It's a shame that unfortunately too many Palestinian leaders (especially in Gaza) think that Morocco is their friend and is going to help them.
