Algiers, 14 December 2020 (SPS) - Algerian Minister of Communication, Spokesman of the Government Amar Belhimer affirmed that the choice to normalize relations with the Zionist entity in return for the territory of Western Sahara is a “futile” choice in the face of the peoples’ invincible will.
In an interview with the electronic paper “El-Khabar Press,” Belhimer said that “the initiative of the outgoing US president Donald Trump to give overwhelming support to the occupation of Western Sahara, by recognizing of the alleged sovereignty of Morocco over it, in return for the recognition by Morocco of the occupation of the Palestinian territories by the Zionist entity, is a futile choice in the face of the peoples’ invincible will against occupation and tyranny.”
Concerning the opening by the United Arab Emirates of a consulate in occupied al-Ayun, the minister said that “Algeria doesn’t interfere in the countries’ domestic affairs, it is a position of principle. But, out of principle also, Algeria will always support the right of peoples to self-determination, considering that the Sahrawi cause remains an issue of decolonization and that the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic is a founding member of the African Union (AU). Hence, the Sahrawi cities, including al-Ayun, are cities occupied by Morocco.” (SPS)
