Shaheed Elhafed, November 8, 2014 (SPS) - The government of the Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) lambasted Friday the latest speech delivered by Moroccan King Mohamed VI, in which "he flouted international legality and seems to ignore international community's call to take action against Morocco's intransigence."
"The speech Morocco's king made Thursday to mark the 39th anniversary of the invasion of the Saharawi territories was intransigent, nervous and threatening," the Saharawi ministry of Information said in a statement.
"It is meant to be a clear affirmation of (Morocco's) deliberate intention to flout United Nations Charter and resolutions determining the Saharawi cause, the framework for its settlement and the basis for negotiations."
Saharawi government deplored that Morocco's king seeks to impose on the UN, the major powers and human rights groups "his colonial scheme instead of abiding by the international legality," the release underlined.
The SADR "condemns in the strongest manner such an attitude, which is contrary to international legality."
The statement noted that "UN Charter and resolutions clearly stipulate that Western Sahara question is a decolonization issue, whose settlement requires that Saharawi people exercise their right to self-determination." (SPS)
