Filipov, who received the representative of the Polisario Front, Ali Salem Mohamed Fadel, in Moscow, insisted on "the need to continue contacts between the Communist Party and the Polisario Front to raise consciousness among Russian public opinion, especially the new generations, on Saharawi people's legitimate struggle for liberty and independence.

 

During the meeting, the Saharawi representative informed Filipov of the latest developments about the Saharawi cause, including media and military blockade imposed by Moroccan occupation authorities on the occupied territories of Western Sahara.

 

Alisalem Mohamedfadel also mentioned the banning of international organizations and NGO members from visiting the occupied territories to enquire about the tragic situation of Saharawi civilians.
