"We also hail the support of the Republic of Mauritania and our brothers in the African continent, which make the Sahrawi cause an African cause despite Morocco's refusal," he stated.
The Sahrawi president also welcomed "the solidarity movement in Europe and in the whole world," highlighting "the solidarity shown by the Spanish people and the Spanish state's historical and legal responsibilities vis-à-vis the Saharawi people.
Ghali reiterated its call to the UN "to fully assume its responsibility in the completion of the decolonization of Western Sahara," stressing that "the Polisario Front affirms its full readiness to cooperate with the UN Secretary General and its special envoy to speed up the Minurso mission and implement the provisions of the last resolution of the Security Council, particularly the one relating to the continuation of the negotiation process and the handling of all suspended issues arising from Morocco's violation of the ceasefire and the N1 military agreement in Guerguerat."
