After her visit to the Tindouf camps, Greta Thunberg becomes spokesperson for the Polisario

Shortly after visiting the Tindouf camps, Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg adopted pro-Polisario positions online. Committed to the fight against global warming, the 22-year-old activist is now making the Sahara issue her hobby horse. This Friday, January 17, she is holding a live online question-and-answer session, to talk about her “fight for justice, from Palestine to Western Sahara.” At the beginning of this month, she was the guest of the Polisario as part of the “International Conference of Solidarity with the Sahrawi People” at “Camp Boujdour”.

This Friday’s paid session is being held at 8 p.m. GMT, at the initiative of Zeteo, a media founded by American-British host and writer Mehdi Hasan. During the questions and answers, accessible exclusively to subscribers, Greta speaks about “her recent trip to the refugee camps in Western Sahara,” the platform announced. The young activist will interact with subscribers on the same subject, during questions and answers on Zoom.

During her trip to Tindouf, Greta Thunberg spoke to the Algerian Press Agency (APS), to express her “deep regret for the silence which reigns in many countries concerning the Sahrawi question, as well as the Palestinian cause and the genocide facing the Palestinian people.

Three days ago, the activist spoke out via social networks, to accuse Morocco of “trying to use greenwashing and whitewashing in order to legitimize” its actions and “divert attention” from “violations of human rights in Western Sahara.

She also published photos of her visit to the Tindouf camps, posing with the leader of the separatist movement, Brahim Ghali. “The struggle for a liberated Western Sahara is everyone’s struggle,” she wrote.

Born in 2003 in Stockholm to famous parents, Greta Thunberg became known in 2018 as the youngest environmental activist at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP24).
