The Sahrawi activist Aminatu Haidar reiterated this Wednesday at the Guacimeta airport her message and her determination: "I am going back to my house, alive or dead, but I am going back". These are the only words she has spoken to the media when returning to the room she occupies at the aerodrome, after going to the bathroom.
Haidar, on hunger strike for 24 days, hopes at the airport in Conejera to return to her home, in El Aaiún, the administrative capital of Western Sahara. She barely leaves her "room" anymore. Only once or, at most, twice a day.
Meanwhile, visits to the Guacimeta airport continue, to which Rosa Díez, leader of the Union, Progress and Democracy Party (UPyD), joined this Wednesday.
On the other hand, union leaders Cándido Méndez and Ignacio Fernández Toxo, together with film director Pedro Almodóvar, actor Juan Diego Botto and the rector of the Complutense University Carlos Berzosa, will deliver a letter to King Juan Carlos this Thursday at 5:00 p.m.
The letter asks the monarch to intercede with King Mohammed VI so that Haidar can return to her home in El Aaiún. It is signed by about two hundred people, including many actors and writers such as Gunter Grass, José Saramago, Mario Vargas Llosa, Carlos Fuentes and Juan José Millás.
