Marking the upcoming 50th anniversary of the mass expulsion of Moroccan families from Algeria in 1975, the CiMEA75 coalition has announced it launched an  international advocacy campaign.

 Its executive office met on July 14 to finalize plans for a civil caravan that will visit key European cities, including Geneva, Brussels, and Strasbourg, to raise awareness and demand official recognition from the Algerian state.

The initiative seeks to secure acknowledgment of the grave human rights violations committed during the expulsion and to push for reparations for affected families. 

The campaign will culminate in an international conference in Brussels, where experts, jurists, and human rights advocates will present a new academic study, supported by the Council of the Moroccan Community Abroad, analyzing the legal and humanitarian dimensions of the crisis.

Domestically, the group will organize events to preserve memory and push for institutional recognition of victims’ rights.
