It's a while since I've had one of these, and not in response to anything specific - I've been very inactive on #WesternSahara lately. Must be a quiet day on a troll farm somewhere in #Morocco. Image
Anyway, I have a rule that whenever I'm trolled by agents of the #Moroccan state, I post photos of the Sahrawi controlled areas of #WesternSahara, to highlight the conflict & #Morocco's partition of this non-self-governing territory. Here's the view from Tin Gfuf, Southern Sector Image

1. Where #France once again stops the Arab (#Moroccan) Invasion of Europe

It turns out to be the fate of France to stop Morocco from winning #FIFA World Cup 2022.

More than 1200 years ago too, it was France which stopped the Umayyad (Islamic) invasion of Europe. This is how. Image
2. After the death of the Prophet, under the leadership of Caliph Umar, the Arab armies had broken upon Persia, Byzantium, Egypt and then continued conquering and converting new countries to #Islam until Morocco. But they were not to stop there.
3. In 711 the Muslim armies invaded and conquered the Iberian peninsula comprising Spain and Portugal within seven years. The march of Islam seemed unstoppable. They had not just taken northern Africa and Western Asia, but had conquered a huge kingdom of Europe. Image

The tragedy of #Sudanese & sub-Saharan #African #migrants in #Morocco #Spain border, hasn’t had much coverage- as far as I can tell.

It was well documented by the AMDH -Nador:

This🧵 is dedicated to the dead, missing & survivors!

#Sudan
#KeepEyesOnSudan
I’ll start with @pavan_777 excellent report:
“At least 37 deaths were confirmed by the NGO Walking Borders, while Moroccan authorities claimed that 23 died in a “stampede”

#Morocco has been so eager to please the EU at any price.

Association Marocaine des Droit Humaines - Section Nador - has been following up on the victims.
Information & photos are published regularly on their Facebook page:

I’ll compile a list to raise awareness & maybe help identify someone.

BREAKING: massive, global leak of the targets of NSO Group's Pegasus spyware. *huge deal.*

Forensic investigation by @AmnestyTech
in collaboration with @FbdnStories reporters.

We @citizenlab conducted peer review.

Here's an explainer THREAD.
washingtonpost.com/investigations… Image
2. Background: the already-notorious NSO Group makes mercenary spyware to silently & remotely hack iPhones & Androids.

Many of their government customers are authoritarians.

Most cannot resist the temptation to target their critics, reporters, human rights groups etc. Image
3. More about leaked numbers & targets in a sec, but first you need to know:

@AmnestyTech just released a report with technical analysis of NSO's infrastructure... & analysis validating w/forensics that some phones were infected with Pegasus.

‼️ Our new #AlarmPhone Western #Med Regional Analysis is out, 1.11.19 to 29.02.20 ‼️ It documents developments & dynamics affecting the possibility of transit via #Morocco to #EU. Read about our experiences, news from the region & political dynamics.
alarmphone.org/en/2020/03/14/…
Recent setbacks & successes: an #ECtHR ruling legitimised a push-back at the #Melilla border fence but on 6 Feb we held a large protest at the #Morocco - #Algeria border to commemorate dead & missing travellers. In late Feb, 8000 people marched in #Ceuta against racism.
Most of the distress calls #AlarmPhone received came from the #westernsahara route where our collaboration with the #Spanish Salvamento Marítimo was good. In the Strait of #Gibraltar or the #Alborán Sea it was more difficult: often cases were referred to the #Moroccan Navy.

On Friday evening at my @wcfbook event for #7necessarysins, Alex Aubry gave me glorious gifts. I am so moved by his kindness and awed by his creativity. Thank you Alex for these beautiful gifts! #Defy #Disobey #Disrupt
AND his gift included these wonderful notebooks with pictures and quotes from three #Egyptian feminists - Huda Shaarawi, Doris Shafik, Nawal El Saadawi - and #Moroccan feminist Fatima Mernissi. Alex Aubry - THANK YOU ALF SHUKR ❤️✊🏽💜 #DefyDisobeyDisrupt
Alex Aubry is a kind and incredibly talented artist and is also director of the Fashion Resource Cente, School of the Art Institute of Chicago. I would’ve shared a social media account so that you can wow at his creativity but he’s not on social media.

#Moroccan journalist Hajar Raissouni sentenced to prison for premarital sex and an abortion she says she didn’t in what critics have described as a politically-motivated trial nytimes.com/2019/09/30/wor… #FreeHajar
“The trial was perhaps the most prominent example yet in a pattern of arrests and prosecutions of journalists who are critical of the state, on charges seemingly unrelated to their reporting.” #FreeHajar
Her case has sparked protests and a torrent of commentary and criticism online. Many called for greater press freedom and for an overhaul of the country’s conservative penal code. #FreeHajar
