Brilliant article.
“The way the EU handles Western Sahara will determine far more than the future of one territory. It will determine whether the European project can sustain the integrity of its legal and ethical foundations.”
Will the EU actually put economic and political interests before law?

It’s exausting to be fully conscious of the brutal colonialism which permeates culture, society and debates about the world. Trump is making decisions for Palestinians, people of Western Sahara, Ukrainians… without them, and calling it peace. Meanwhile: war, destitution and lots and lots of profits.
