SOULTANA KHEYA RETURNS TO HER HOMELAND

The saharawi Women would like to express their great happiness for the young saharawi human rights activist´s return, Soultana Kheya, to her homeland after two long year of medical treatment overseas.
Yesterday, tuesday, August 18th, took and airplane and landed in the occupied El Aaiún´s Airport where she was received as a hero by great number of colleagues, friends and family.
Soultana Kheya is considered an example of brave woman because because since her chidhood she was always struggling for justice and peace for the saharawi people.
She was seriously injuried in a peaceful demonstration organized by the saharawi university student in the moroccan city of Marrakech and where the moroccan army brutally repressed the demonstration and Soultana Kheya lost her right-eye.
Althought that the moroccan authorities tried to block the entrance to some saharawis in the Aaiún´s Airport, a lot of saharawi women and gentlemen received her at the terminal and she put her saharawi national flag in her neck as always she does.
The moroccan soldiers continued to controlled all their movements and sorrounded the Bugaga´s family´s house in El-Aaiún´s downtown, where a great number of saharawi human rights activists organized a great popular welcoming to these heroic daughter of the saharawi people who sacrificed her life for the freedom and justice of her people.
