Shaheed El Hafed, February 23, 2014 (SPS) - Sahrawi Advisory Council called on French President Francois Hollande to put pressure on the Moroccan government to comply with the international legality and allow for the right of the Saharawi people to self-determination and independence, in a letter during its regular session February 19th and 20th.
The letter also demanded the French president, by virtue of his country’s membership in the Security Council, "to work to expand the prerogatives of MINURSO to include human rights monitoring and protection in the occupied territories of Western Sahara."
It should be recalled that the regular session of Sahrawi Advisory Council coincided with elections of Sahrawi National Council where it secured five seats in the new parliament. (SPS)
