OMSAC reiterates call for Sahrawi people self-determination

Submitted on

Geneva, 13 December 2020 (SPS) - The Global Security Organization against Corruption (OMSAC) on Saturday condemned "without reservation" the position of outgoing US President Donald Trump on Western Sahara and reiterated its call achieving self-determination of the Sahrawi people, a press release said.
The “Global Security Organization against Corruption (OMSAC) condemns without reservation and in the strongest terms this unilateral decision made by a president on his way out. A diplomatic support to Rabat, which goes against the UN position,” added the release.
Recalling that Western Sahara is the last colony in Africa, occupied by the Kingdom of Morocco since 1975, the OMSAC has affirmed its "unreserved" support for the implementation of resolution 1514 of the UN General Assembly on the Declaration of the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples, said the release.
“This US decision goes against regional security and stability. It has a negative impact on the UN's efforts to resolve the conflict,” it said, reaffirming its calls for the self-determination of the Sahrawis and for the respect of the international legality.”
"We only recognize the solutions made on the basis of Security Council resolutions and that the sovereignty over Western Sahara belongs exclusively to the Sahrawi people. We also demand the self-determination referendum, as planned by the UN,” said the OMSAC, calling for the resumption of the UN-sponsored negotiations between Morocco and the Polisario Front. (SPS)
