The Minister of Information, Mr. Hamada Salma Al-Daf, inaugurated the event with a speech in which he welcomed the President of the Republic and his accompanying delegation of members of the National Secretariat, the government, and partner agencies in the media field.
Hamada Salma added that the celebration of the National Media Day coincides with the 47th anniversary of the founding of the first national radio station, which was intended to convey the voice of the Saharawi people and the justice of their cause to the rest of the world, noting that the Sahrawi Media Foundation produced effective executives in state institutions, and took upon itself to publicize the right of the Sahrawi people in freedom and self-determination.
The Minister of Information stated that the celebration comes in a distinct circumstance, the first of which is the resumption of the armed struggle on November 13, 2020, and what this requires in terms of accompaniment on all media fronts, stressing the need to redouble efforts to preserve national unity.
Secondly, added the Minister of Information, is the preparation for the holding of the 16th conference of the Polisario Front and what this will require in terms of anticipating the next stage, especially at the media level, giving a number of goals that must be focused on and taken into account, including the change in the media interface, the presence of specialized professional competencies and capabilities, while making efforts in the technical aspects.
During the event, the representative of the Polisario Front in the Arab Levant, Mr. Mustafa Al-Kattab, presented a lecture on normalization, in which he touched on the definition of normalization, its roots, justifications and pretexts, referring the reason for normalization to the old agreements regarding the relationship with the Zionist entity.
The lecturer gave the dangers of normalization in points, most notably the liquidation of the Palestinian cause and the rights of the Palestinian people, control of the Middle East region, and what this represents in terms of domination and control over energy sources, trade routes, and the dominance of an abhorrent racist ideology.
