Algiers, July 30, 2012 (SPS) - The Algerian National Committee for Support to the Sahrawi People (CNASPS) considered the Spanish government’s decision to bringing home aid workers from the Sahrawi refugees camps as a “ pure and simple abandonment” of the Saharawi refugees, calling it to cancel this “disgraceful” decision.
“The Spanish decision is interpreted as a pure and simple abandonment of Sahrawi refugees after being already abandoned by the Spanish Kingdom in 1975 through a hasty and uncoordinated withdrawal, without having satisfied its obligations, given them up in connivance to Moroccan occupation,” said CNASPS in a statement.
For that purpose, CNASPS reminded Spain of its “total responsibility” in the birth of the conflict and urged to quash this decision.
Spanish government decided Friday to repatriate Spanish aid workers from the Sahrawi refugee camps, alarmed by what is described as “possible” attacks from terrorist groups in the north of Mali, according to Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Garcia Margallo. (SPS)
