Smara (Refugee Camps), February 8, 2015 (SPS) - Polisario Front said it is determined to cooperate with the UN Secretary-General's special representative and head of the MINURSO (United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara), Kim Bolduc.

 

Polisario Front's stance has been expressed by Saharawi Prime Minister Abdelkader Taleb Omar, while meeting, in Smara, Kim Bolduc, who has taken over from German Wolfgang Weisbrod-Weber, whose term in office ended on 31 July 2014.

 

Taleb Omar expressed Saharawis' commitment to helping the UN official in her mission, consisting in holding a referendum for Saharawi people's self-determination.

 

At a press briefing following his meeting with UN chief's special representative, Taleb Omar said he expressed to the UN official, on behalf of President of Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) Mohamed Abdelaziz, "Saharawi side's rejection of Moroccan occupation forces' procrastination."

 

"It's time for the United Nations to exert pressure on Morocco."

 

The official urged the UN to take "concrete measures to protect human rights in the occupied Saharawi territories and put an end to Morocco's despoliation of Western Sahara's resources, a violation of the international law."

 

The visit paid by MINURSO's chief to Smara is part of a trip, to the region, she began Friday, starting by Morocco and the occupied Saharawi town of al-Ayun. (SPS)
