Abuja (Nigeria) 14 December 2020 (SPS)- The Nigerian Movement for the Liberation of Western Sahara (NMLWS), considered in a Press Release Today, that the just solution for the conflict of Western Sahara should be for the UN to recognize SADR as an independent State and force Morocco out of the last colony in Africa.
“Instead of allowing Morocco to contemptuously continue to abuse the right of the Saharawi people to self-rule, the UN should declare the SADR an independent country. Doing this is within the powers of the UN. It would be a victory for humanity,” the Nigerian Movement stressed, adding that “the only just solution to the question of Western Sahara is that the United Nations should force Morocco out of Western Sahara.”
The movement considered that “with the UN ignoring loud and clear calls from a large number of countries and very credible international organizations rejecting Morocco’s bestial violation of the human and nationality rights of the Saharawi people, it is a necessity to actualize the expansion of the mandate of MINURSO monitoring, reporting. The UN ought to produce a set of measures punishing all violations and all violators of human rights in Western Sahara.”
“A major cause of the steady degeneration of the situation in Western Sahara is that Morocco has been getting away with repression of the Saharawi people in Saharawi territory seized, stolen from the Saharawi through force. This is unacceptable!” NMLWS slammed.
On another hand, the press release affirmed that “Morocco must be compelled to abide by the objectives and principles of the African Union Constitutive Act (Article 3 and 4). Morocco’s act of expansionism, aggression and the occupation of the territory of Western Sahara by military force stands at odds with the objectives and principles of the Constitutive Act that was signed and ratified by Morocco after joining the African Union.”
It called on the UN Security Council to urgently intervene on the ongoing Moroccan military expansionism in Western Sahara, to “avoid genocide” and put an end to this new aggression. (SPS)
