Algeria –The fiftieth anniversary of the deportations of Moroccans from Algeria in 1975 brought back the file of what is known as the “Kahla March” to the forefront of the human rights debate, amid renewed demands for justice for the victims and for revealing the truth about the violations that accompanied those events.
According to a joint statement issued by the Moroccan League for the Defense of Human Rights and the Association of Moroccan Victims of Arbitrary Expulsion from Algeria, tens of thousands of Moroccans were subjected to deportation from Algerian territory in conditions that the two bodies described as difficult humanitarian conditions, coinciding with Eid al-Adha in 1975.
The two bodies reported that the deportations had wide social and economic repercussions, after a number of the deportees lost their property, personal documents, and sources of livelihood, while many families were subjected to disintegration due to the expulsion decisions.
The same source noted that the passage of fifty years since these events has not ended the demands of the victims and their families, who are still demanding recognition of what happened and the disclosure of all circumstances related to the file, including the fate of disappearance cases mentioned in human rights testimonies and reports.
The two bodies also called for the opening of an independent human rights and historical investigation into the mass deportations, and an inventory of the property that those affected say was confiscated during that stage, while studying mechanisms for compensation and reparation for the benefit of the victims and their families.
The two associations stressed that the file has a human rights and humanitarian dimension that goes beyond political considerations, stressing that the demands of truth, fairness and reparation remain valid for those affected, despite the passage of decades since these events.
