. Brahim relives the accident a year later.
. A bomb shattered his leg in a Saharawi demonstration.
was invincible. Hell was the desert . And he was born there. Brahim was chewing sand. Sweaty 50 degrees Celsius. Asleep in the sun. And grown in a horizon of dunes. But his head was an oasis. Learned to be a refugee in a refugee camp. To yell at infinity. A write Sahara Libre. And to fight with ideas. He traveled to Spain Holidays in Peace program with 7, 8 and 9. Met 'paradise' and returned to the abyss. The European perspective allowed him to refine some ideas of liberation
The European perspective allowed him to refine some ideas of liberation that were patrolling between the wisdom and innocence. And over the years. Among the unarmed combat and survival. Until April 9, 2009. Brahim
woke up that day exalted. Adobe closed its door and joined the procession held in Tindouf international solidarity with the Saharawi people. The objective was to noise without doing harm. Travel to the Wall of Shame. Organize a human chain of 2,500 people and demand the release of the Sahara, human rights and an end to repression in the occupied territories. Avoidable accident
Brahim's voice accompanied the pro-Sahrawi Arab slogans. Until his eyes met the challenge. "The wry smile of Moroccan soldiers who controlled the wall from the other side of the fence destroyed me." He stopped chanting. Snatched up a stone. And rage won the pulse prudence. Torn, began his particular race to death. Broke through the security barrier and entered the minefield. He started his particular race to death. Broke through the security barrier and entered the minefield
The screams of young broken Polisario Front to return to the security perimeter was music to his ears. Every print that printed on the ground reduced the likelihood of escape unscathed. Until exhausted bonus. Supported the right leg and flew. The reflections of a young Saharawi, who was also injured, prevented the irreversible tragedy. Brahim pushed. But his leg and had cherished the artifact. Boom! Silence. And panic. He stared at the border and found the sarcasm observed before the explosion. "I can not forget that image. The people screaming. I bleed. And, on the other side of the wall, satisfaction." Brahim
retreated to the security perimeter with one leg and was taken to a hospital in Tindouf. He lost his right foot. The media delegation accompanying the Polisario Front covered the news. And Alexander, his adoptive father during the holidays he spent in Mora (Toledo) recognized a decade ago on the pictures to a Brahim war wounded. Contacted the family. They decided that return to Spain. A Mora. Because the only future for young Saharawi refugee camps is the Army. Brahim, none.
now hopes that the Government will facilitate the residence permit for humanitarian reasons. Want to be a carpenter. And to continue the peaceful struggle for the liberation of the Sahara. His right foot was on the Wall of Shame. His dignity remains uncorrupted. Artifacts
shame Morocco
The wall is protected by more than five million landmines that were installed in the eighties. The devices are installed under the ground because the Alawite kingdom in December 1997 refused to sign the Ottawa Treaty banning the use and destruction of landmines. Place a mine costs 2 euros and off can reach 800
These devices can remain active for more than 50 years after the end of conflict. Place a mine costs 2 euros and off can reach 800 euros
