Sub-Saharan refugees in Morocco
„Chabaka“ is a network of organisations in Northern Morocco. Several organisations of various fields of activity are associated; they are dealing with subject areas such as human rights, civil rights, fight against unemployment, women, culture, rural development, and ecology. The network is particularly strong in the cities of Tetouán, Tanger, Larache and Alhucemas.
The organisations decided to cooperate in order to be able to use common resources and to have synergy effects. Communication, cooperation and exchange should improve the efficiency of the participating organisations, also in collaboration with organisations from Southern Spain.
Chabaka is organising meetings, congresses, conferences, campaigns, manifestations of solidarity, sit-ins, demonstrations, workshops and projects.
A focus lies on the problem of migration of Sub-Saharan Africans towards Europe. For those migrants, Morocco is the most important land of transit; from Morocco they are trying to reach Spain by boat. Experts estimate that every year around 120,000 Africans try to reach Europe on various routes, many of whom die on the way in the Sahara desert or in the Mediterranean sea. Only in Morocco, some 100,000 people are being retained from the authorities every year. Chabaka is trying to provide human living conditions to illegal Sub-Saharans in Morocco.
