Shaheed El Hafed, Nov. 8, 2015 (SPS) The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mohamed Salem Salek, said that the decision of Morocco to prevent the Personal Envoy of the UN Secretary General for Western Sahara, Christopher Ross, from visiting Saharawi occupied cities, demonstrates the isolation of Morocco and its contradiction with United Nations resolutions, which do not recognize any Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara.
Reacting to the remarks of the Moroccan Foreign Ministry, Salah Eddine Mezouar, republished by the Spanish Agency EFE, according to which, "Morocco will not accept the visit of Mr. Christopher Ross to the occupied territories of Western Sahara", Mr. Ould Salek said that "this proves that the Moroccan occupier is in an isolation and faces the community in total contradiction to the resolutions of the United Nations calling for the decolonization of Western Sahara on the basis of respect for the right of the Sahrawi people to self-determination".
"We believe that the policy of intransigence and attempts to evade the commitments it had signed before the international community, will bring more isolation to the Kingdom of Morocco, and makes it bear alone the dangerous consequences of this colonial way," warned the head of the Saharawi diplomacy.
"The Moroccan foreign minister and his government must be aware that the Saharawi people remain attached to their legitimate rights to freedom and independence and continue to fight through the ways and means available to cover its independence," Ould Salek recalled. (SPS)
