Dakhla (Refugee Camps)- Prime Minister Abdelkader Taleb Omar said he hoped UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's visit to the region would manage to get Morocco to respect UN decisions in favour of the Western Sahara people's self-determination.
In a statement to APS, Taleb Omar said Saharawi people "expect the UN chief to implement the content of his report 2014, in which he stressed the need to present new options if no progress is made in 2015."
Sahrawi people hope that Ban Ki-moon's visit "opens a new era for UN policy and positions regarding the Saharawi cause and that the tormenter and the victim would no more be put on an equal footing," he underlined.
"Although Rabat refuses Ban Ki-moon's visit to Morocco and the occupied (Saharawi) territories, the UN chief insists on visiting, on March 5, the liberated territories and the Saharawi refugee camps following his visit to Mauritania and Algeria." (SPS)
