New York, Oct 14, 2012 (SPS) - The POLISARIO Front Representative to the United Nations, Mr. Boukhari Ahmed, has applauded the advanced positions reaffirmed by several states at the UN Fourth Committee, which affirms strong support to right of the Saharawi people to self-determination.
The Saharawi Diplomat expressed, in an interview with Numidia News Channel broadcasted Friday, hope that the Saharawi people would be enabled to exercise their inalienable right to self-determination
He highlighted that the Saharawi question has been included in the agenda of the UN Decolonization Committee, noting that the United Nations called on Morocco in 1975, when it occupied Western Sahara, to comply with international legitimacy.
He therefore indicated that the Polisario Front has given opportunity for peaceful solutions, but Morocco did not cooperate and continued its colonial policy in an attempt to gain time in a blatant disregard of international law.
In a response to a question about Algeria’s position on the Saharawi cause, Mr. Boukhari Ahmed said that Algeria is known for its support to the colonized peoples, adding that its recognition of SADR expresses an embodiment to these principles. (SPS)
