President Ghali calls on Europe to contribute practically to the establishment of genuine and lasting peace in North Africa

Shaheed Al-Hafed, February 27, 2024 (SPS)- The President of the Republic, the Secretary-General of the Polisario Front, Mr. Brahim Ghali, called on Europe, as individual States and as the European Union, to contribute practically to the establishment of genuine and lasting peace in North Africa with strict respect for international law, international humanitarian law and European law regarding Western Sahara.

That contribution, stressed Mr. Brahim Ghali, while addressing the Sahrawi people on the occasion of the 48th anniversary of the proclamation of SADR, will be genuine and successful only by supporting a solution that is based on legitimacy and enables the Sahrawi people to exercise their legitimate right to self-determination and independence, by abstaining from encouraging injustice, expansionism, and aggression of Morocco, and by refraining from concluding any agreement with the Kingdom of Morocco affecting the airspace, territory, or territorial waters of Western Sahara.

President Brahim Ghali took the opportunity to remind the President of the Spanish Government that the Spanish State, by trying to treacherously stab the Sahrawi people in the back again, as was the case in the banditry Madrid Accords of 1975, cannot change its legal status as a colonial power with the obligation to complete the decolonization of Western Sahara.

He added, “Any relationship between the Spanish State and the Kingdom of Morocco at the expense of the Saharawi people and their legitimate rights would be nothing but a flagrant violation of international law and a new crime that would stain the Spanish State with more blood of defenceless Sahrawis.”
