Shaheed Al-Hafed, February 27, 2024 (SPS)- The President of the Republic, the Secretary-General of the Polisario Front, Mr. Brahim Ghali, said that the proclamation of the Sahrawi Republic was the first practical embodiment of the will of the Sahrawi people to live free and dignified.
“The proclamation of the Republic was the first practical and eternal embodiment of the sovereign will of the Sahrawi people to live free and dignified, with their distinctiveness and independence, as a lofty goal that our people have sought throughout their decades-old resistance, which was strengthened in its invigorated nationalist dimension by the Zemala uprising led by the late Mohamed Sid Bahim Basiri” stated President Ghali in a speech addressed to the Sahrawi people on the occasion of the 48th anniversary of the proclamation of SADR.
He added, “The proclamation of the Sahrawi State was the necessary, urgent, and appropriate move made by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Saguia el-Hamra and Río de Oro (Frente POLISARIO) as a response to the abhorrent and undisguised colonial manoeuvres aimed at circumventing the rights of an entire people and confiscating their whole homeland”.
The President of the Republic stressed that the establishment of the Sahrawi State was a turning point in the Sahrawi people’s existential struggle for freedom and independence, along with a series of other successive and decisive milestones, starting with the establishment of the Frente POLISARIO and the commencement of the armed struggle, the declaration of national unity, and the establishment of the Sahrawi National Council, leading to the establishment of the State, the formation of the government, and the building of the national administration.
He also noted that the Sahrawi people have created during the past forty-eight years an epic tale of struggle and determination on all fronts to build the Sahrawi State with its national bodies and institutions and establish its standing and its international relations.
