The recent conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa have sparked renewed efforts to bridge divides and promote peace and understanding between different groups. In addition to the Israel-Arab group Sharaka, another movement called the Sahrawi Movement for Peace has emerged in South America to advocate for a peaceful resolution to the Sahara conflict [9ad7c596].
Represented by Haj Ahmed Barikallah, the Sahrawi Movement for Peace aims to provide a new alternative to the long-standing conflict in the Sahara. Barikallah appeared as a guest on the Argentine radio show "Picaditas del Sábado" to present the movement as a peaceful opposition to the Polisario Front. He called for constructive political dialogue to end the suffering of the Sahrawi population in Tindouf and criticized the idea of war advocated by the Polisario Front. Barikallah expressed support for Morocco's Autonomy Proposal and called for a roadmap to establish a Sahrawi autonomous government under Moroccan sovereignty within three years [9ad7c596].
The Sahrawi Movement for Peace also participated in the conference "Promoting Peace Projects in Conflict Zones" held at the National Gendarmerie Circle. The event aimed to foster dialogue and seek alternatives to end the confrontation climate in North Africa. The movement advocates for inclusive dialogue involving all components of Sahrawi society to find a peaceful solution to the Sahara issue [9ad7c596].
These initiatives by Sharaka and the Sahrawi Movement for Peace highlight the importance of dialogue, understanding, and building relationships in the pursuit of peace. By humanizing each other, challenging stereotypes, and advocating for peaceful resolutions, Israelis, Arabs, and Sahrawis can work together to overcome the divisions that have long plagued their regions. The efforts of these peacebuilding movements offer hope for a more peaceful and harmonious future in the Middle East and North Africa.
