Kiwi organizations protesting against a cargo ship carrying phosphate rock sourced in Western Sahara are ready to turn to a compromise. Trade unionists are asking for a «clamorous and pragmatic action» and are open to discuss an agreement with the importing company.
Pro-Polisario activists are planning to «besiege» a ship carrying a phosphate cargo from the Sahara to a New Zealand port in December, protesting against two Kiwi phosphate importers.
A New Zealand organization organized a series of activities to campaign in favor of the Polisario and protest against the arrival of a phosphate cargo coming from Morocco. Despite its efforts, the organization failed to attract the attention of activists in the country.
Western Sahara Resource Watch (WSRW) hailed on Tuesday, 18th of September, the “historic decision” of a Canadian company who announced that it is no longer importing products from the Sahara. However, Nutrien, the firm in question, explains that its decision was based on economic reasons.
