Algiers, May 19, 2013 (SPS) - Maghreb student organizations from Algeria, Tunisia and Mauritania urged Sunday from Algiers the United Nations for “urgent and immediate application” of the dictates of international law in order to enable the Saharawi people to exercise self-determination.
In a letter addressed to the UN General Assembly Ban Ki-moon, the organizations said that the critical situation suffered by the Sahrawi students in the occupied territories “requires an urgent and immediate application of the requirements of international law.”
In a meeting organized at headquarters of the Algerian National Committee of Solidarity with the Saharawi People (CNASPS), they insisted on the need to enable the Saharawi people to “exercise his right and impose the monitoring of human rights in Western Sahara.”
They, therefore, called for the “immediate and unconditional” release of all Saharawi students and activists incarcerated in Moroccan prisons.
They, on other hand, appealed to halt the looting of Saharawi natural wealth by Morocco and to remove the Moroccan military wall that separates Saharawi families and land.
On the occasion of Algerian Student’s Day (May 15th of each year), President of Saguia el-Hamra Centre for Strategic and Political Studies Mr. Baba Sayad recalled to what the Algerian student did during the Algerian revolution, considering that as a “starting point” for many peoples, who struggle for self-determination.
From his part, President of the Algerian National Committee of Solidarity with the Saharawi people (CNASPS) Mr. Mehrez Alamari called for building a Maghreb Arab Union free from all forms of colonialism, and away from all forms of hatred and grudge. (SPS)
