Bruselas anuncia 618 millones de euros para la transición hacia energía limpia en África - EFEverde La presidenta de la Comisión Europea (CE), Ursula von der Leyen, anunció este jueves un paquete de 618 millones de euros para acelerar la transición hacia la energía limpia en África.

Platforms such as IRA Mauritanie, historically led by Biram Dah Abeid, have worked for years to challenge a situation especially harsh for Mauritanian women, as highlighted by abolitionist Mariem Cheikh, whom we had the opportunity to interview.

Subjected to harsh prison sentences, political persecution, and Human Rights violations, activists criticize the West’s role in the region, calling for ‘stopping the financing of dictators’ as a measure to address the migration crisis linked to the prevalence of slavery.

Alongside the historical roots of this issue, the voices focus on the colonial legacy and on current policies by institutions like the IMF, World Bank, and EU —which, through countries like Spain, today finance the perpetuation of these realities via multi-million government aid.

This research highlights the abolitionist struggle against contemporary slavery in Mauritania, amplifying the voices of activists descended from enslaved people, based on interviews conducted over the past two years and a historical-socio-cultural analysis of the colonial legacy.
