Madrid (Spain), 15 Nov 2015 (SPS) - Minister of the Occupied Territories and the Diaspora, Mohamed Ould Akeik, launched, Sunday in Madrid (Spain), an urgent call to the international community to save the Sahrawi population.
“There is urgency in the occupied territories,” Ould Akeik told APS the day after the European Conference for Support and Solidarity with the Sahrawi People (EUCOCO), held in Madrid, calling for the “international community’s prompt intervention to save the Sahrawi people who have been suffering for 40 years.”
Since the Moroccan invasion in 1975, “the Sahrawi population has suffered all forms of violence,” added Ould Akeik.
In addition, he said that this wave of solidarity expressed at the 40th EUCOCO, held Friday and Saturday in the Spanish capital under the slogan, “Decolonization of Western Sahara, guarantor of peace and stability in the region,” is “a positive sign for the Sahrawi fight and a clear message to the Moroccan occupier which proves its isolation on the international scene.” (SPS)
