Berlin, May 18, 2013 (SPS) - Mr. Mhamed Khadad, member of the National Secretariat of the Polisario Front and coordinator with MINURSO, has made a working visit to Germany in the period between May 14 and 17, where he met officials at German Foreign Ministry and some political forces, according to a Saharawi official source.
These meetings focused on the latest developments of national cause, especially the massive demonstrations recently took place in the occupied Western Sahara calling for the end of occupation, respect for human rights and the need to establish an international mechanism to protect Saharawi citizens.
The Saharawi official also met with representatives of German political forces including Social Democratic Party and the Greens, parliamentarians and members of Foreign Affairs committee.
All these interlocutors expressed great interest for a rapid settlement to the conflict of Western Sahara under the relevant UN resolutions, in a way that guarantees the right of the Saharawi people to self-determination and ensures the respect for human rights in the territory as requested, for many years, by the most qualified organizations in this field.
