Bir Lehlou (liberated zones), Jan 23, 2015 (SPS) - President of the Republic, Secretary General of the Polisario Front Mr. Mohamed Abdelaziz on Thursday warned against any attempt from the part of Morocco aimed at deviate the completion of decolonization process in Western Sahara.
In a statement, a copy of which obtained by SPS, President Mohamed Abdelaziz said that Morocco, which occupies by force part of Western Sahara, cannot indefinitely deviate the implementation of decolonization in Western Sahara, asking it to stop fueling tension and instability in the northwest part of the continent.
Pending self-determination of the Saharawi people to be implemented, said Saharawi President, the UN must work for the respect of the legal status of Western Sahara as a non-self-governing territory, as defined in Article 73 of the Charter.
He, in this respect, asked the UN to stop the “shameless” exploitation of Saharawi natural resources by Morocco, as to protect Saharawi civilians from Moroccan aggression and human rights violations and thus establish a UN mechanism to observe such abuses.
He went on saying that Moroccan occupation has no right whatsoever to put any specific conditions to the work of the Personal Envoy of the UN Secretary General, his Special Representative or even the UN Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO).
He, on other hand, reiterated Frente Polisario’s readiness to continue to cooperate with the Secretary General of the UN, his Personal Envoy and his Special Representative in order to implement UN resolutions. (SPS)
