Tifariti (liberated territories), Dec 19, 2011 (SPS) - Envoy of the Ugandan President, Kintu Nyago, called Sunday from the liberated territory of Tifariti on the international community not to utilize the double standards when dealing with the Saharawi cause, in a speech before the delegates at the POLISARIO 13th Congress.

“Colonialism is a human crime which must be condemned,” said Nyago, appealing to the International Court of Justice to take those Moroccans, who commit human rights abuses in occupied Western Sahara, to trail.

“African Union lives in a kind of marginalization in the world, but we in Uganda will remain supporting cause of the people of Western Sahara,” added the Envoy.

“We in Uganda don not consider ourselves free, until Western Sahara being liberated,” stressed Nyago, reiterating the support and solidarity of Uganda’s people and government with the Saharawi people in their legitimate struggle for freedom and independence. (SPS)
