@onlmaps You forgot at least 1:
#WesternSahara (#SADR) - #Morocco-occupied & annexed Western #Sahara, which is the longest, contiguous #landmine field in the world!
(No, the #Guerguerat #Checkpoint to #Mauritania doesn't count! #Sahawri citizens are being denied entry and Morocco illegally forces migrants to cross the minefield into the lethal desert!)
France and Algeria are back to talking, for now https://www.byteseu.com/884179/ #Algeria #France #WesternSahara
Next semester I will be teaching a course on Western Sahara, from the Origin of Imazighen to the Current Conflict Resolution

@nico198X @aral @robin Problem with #PayPal et. al. is that there ain't real & global competitiors.
And not only is it impractical for people to travel in person to i.e. Germany just to wait weeks (!!!) on an appointment and get a bank accout opened in person but even then the Bsic Account as per @BaFin regulations only applies to consumers in Germany and not SMEs from overseas and even then those business accounts are usually way more expensive than partnering with an expensive payment processor to outsorce headaches.
Needless to say the #PayPalMafia got their power to basically monopolize global payments...
Western Sahara: Saharawis Strike at Occupying Army
Units of the Sahrawi People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) carried out a strong attack against the Moroccan occupation army earlier this month, inflicting heavy material and human losses. It was a regimental base, in the Arthrithyat region in the El Guella sector, that was bombed. The knowledge of the terrain by the Saharawi fighters in the face of the occupying army, undermined by corruption and demoralization, gives them a definite advantage.
The effectiveness of the action was reflected in a violent Moroccan press campaign with the declared objective of having the United States include the Frente POLISARIO on the list of terrorist organizations. The United States, under President Donald Trump, has already expressed recognition of Morocco’s annexation of Western Sahara.

Hey hey! It's our 20th birthday!
We remain committed to the right of the #WesternSahara people to self-determination and resources. We hope it won't take another 20 years for that to materialise.
In the meantime, please consider supporting us.
Bombshell news!
@EUCommission has asked #ECJ to "rectify" its 2024 #WesternSahara rulings, to create the false appearance that Saharawis are not outnumbered by Moroccan settlers - so that presumed consent can be fabricated.
The Court has rejected to do so.

Major development!
For the first time ever, the legal services of the EU Council admit defeat to the #Saharawi people in the EU Court of Justice, conceding that EU-MA agreements had been unlawfully extended into #WesternSahara without consent of its PEOPLE, not its population.

French Court confirms #CJEU ruling on labelling of products from #WesternSahara and puts responsibility to ban them with EU institutions.
A week ago, large Spanish agricultural organisations called on the EU to end tomato imports from the territory.
Given the massive scale of fraudulent origin labeling, which has persisted for years, we call on the @EU_Commission as the guardian of the EU Treaties to prohibit the import of these goods from Western Sahara into the EU.
Nearly 4 months have passed since the EU Court of Justice banned EU-Morocco agreements in occupied #WesternSahara.
Debates in the @europarl_en reveal that the @EUCommission is still in the dark on how to take it from here.
