The Spanish Supreme Court in Madrid has officially revoked the right of Sahrawis born in the Moroccan Sahara after 1975 to claim Spanish nationality. The Madrid court ruled that the Sahara could not legally be considered a part of Spanish sovereign territory during Spanish protectorate of the region

Berlin, Germany, June 11, 2020 - According to the news agency EFE, the Spanish Supreme Court denies the nationality of origin to those born in the Moroccan Sahara when it was a Spanish colony. This decision gave a hard blow to the aspirations of the Sahrawis and their descendants. The plenary of the Civil Chamber of the high court established in a ruling that to have been born in the Sahara before 1975 does not give the right to obtain Spanish nationality of origin, since it cannot be considered a national territory during the period in which it was administered by Madrid.

Because of the ruling, the Supreme Court withdraws nationality from a Sahrawi person born in 1973 and who applied for nationality at age 36. In order to reach this conclusion, the Supreme Court relied on the two rules that regulated the decolonization process: Law 40/1975, of November 19, issued on the eve of Franco’s death, on decolonization of the Sahara; and Royal Decree 2258/1976, of August 10, on the option of Spanish nationality by the Sahara, in full transition. So, the ruling is the following: those born outside the mainland Spain can NOT be considered Spanish citizens.

Last week, the Spanish Supreme Court also banned the use of “unofficial” flags or any political expression inside and outside public buildings. This represents a blow to the polisario separatist group as they will not be able to use their flags, ensigns, emblems or any unofficial symbols in buildings and public areas to serve their PR war against Morocco’s territorial integrity. The Polisario separatist group is taking the most recent ruling as another blow to their cause.

The Young Entrepreneurs Club of AlignAcademy.com is pleased to announce the availability of free business support services for small business owners, while the Club seeks to highlight the impact of small businesses on local economies as the world marks another World Refugee Day. The Young Entrepreneurs Club's business support services feature free business analysis, free assessment of current strategy, and expert recommendations on the next profitable steps to take. The Young Entrepreneurs Club also offers an exclusive opportunity for businesses to increase their exposure and broaden their customer base with no upfront financial investment.

"We are honoured to serve more small businesses," said Engr. Winston C. Ikekeonwu, director of the Young Entrepreneurs Club. "With small businesses being the world's largest employers of labour, the Young Entrepreneurs Club support program is a great way to celebrate the many families that small businesses serve."

With statistics from the United Nations estimating there are over 70 million refugees, asylum seekers and displaced people worldwide, the AlignAcademy Young Entrepreneurs Club recommends more proactive steps to stop the increase in displaced families.

“How many refugees do we have today? 70 million? Do you think that just happened?” asked Engr. Ikekeonwu. “The answer is no. There are specific root causes that lead to more families getting displaced daily. And we shouldn't just sit around complaining: we can take definite steps to help keep more families together.”

The Young Entrepreneurs Club director continued: "Sure, violence obviously pushes more families away from their homeland, but until the not-so-obvious economic factors behind the violence are addressed, tackling the refugee problem may not yield the desired results".

"To avoid violence and unrest, more business owners need to understand that they are crucial in the success of local economies and the unity of families" said Ikekeonwu. "That’s what makes the success of small businesses vital. When more local economies function in successful WIN-WIN relationships, we will greatly reduce needless conflicts and keep more families together".

Indianapolis, IN – June 14, 2020 –COVID-19 has impacted everyone worldwide in ways that are still unknown.  A pair of sisters in Indianapolis realized that there may be Seniors who are unable to get food for their pets during this time.  They want to ensure that seniors can feed their dogs by providing them with free dog food.

Pristine plumbing co-owner, Angel Blevins, and her sister, Josi Evans, have realized that COVID-19 has impacted all of us, even the animals.  Individuals are struggling to make ends meet.   Money is being spent on food and necessities so that people can stay at home.  Expenses are piling up, and some seniors are unable to afford food for their pets.  For many, pets are furry members of the family. 

The sisters got busy in April looking for donations to support their cause.  Josi Evans contacted local retailers due to larger chains typically being restricted from making local donations.  Several local stores, including City Dogs Grocery, The Hayloft, and Big Truck’s Feed, have donated to ensure that seniors can feed their animals.  For many seniors, this is the equivalent to parents being able to feed their children. 

The sisters are hoping to match the donations that they have received with those who need them the most.  BOAA has partnered with the duo and they are hoping that they can assist in the process of handing out donations.  The BOAA has a list of seniors in the area.  The sisters are using social media outlets, such as Facebook, and word of mouth advertising to get news of their program out.  There is no end date to the program at this time; and the program may continue even after the pandemic is and life goes back to “normal”. 

Josie, Angel, and Angel’s husband and co-owner of Pristine Plumbing, Ron; have lived in the town of Brownsburg for a long time.  They want to be active members of the community and have a passion for animals.  Josi is the proud owner of a cat, two dogs, eight chickens, a tortoise, and a gecko.  Angel and Ron also have pets.  They are the proud parents of a dog and two cats.  The family understands the cost and struggle associated with feeding your animals.  They also understand the impact that COVID-19 has had on everyone, and that many are struggling to feed the pet babies. 

If you are a senior and need help feeding your pet call (317) 440-5110 for more information if there is no answer leave a voicemail.  Information about the pet feeding program can also be found at www.bburgoaa.org and utilize the contact form.
