Shaheed Elhafedh, January 25, 2015 (SPS) The Saharawi human rights activist, President of the Sahrawi Association of Victims of Grave human rights violations (ASVDH), Brahim Dahane,called the most influential members of the UN to act as the guarantor of peace and mediation, in an interview with Swiss newspaper, mail, published in its Saturday edition.

 

"If the UN remains paralyzed, I fear that the war will resume between the Polisario Front and Morocco." "Some people, especially young people, are ready to die. The desire for independence is strong, and in front of the failure of the United Nations, many are calling for a resumption of the war. It is not our case we still hope for a peaceful solution, "reported the Swiss daily.

 

"We are harassed. Every action is hampered," recalled the President of the Sahrawi Association of Victims of Grave human rights violations (ASVDH), Brahim Dahane, who denounces the passivity and even to some officials, the UN complicity, the newspaper said.

 

 After forty years of occupation and separation relationships between camps and the occupied territories of Western Sahara have also strengthened through modern means of communication, he added.

 

"The links are first, of course, familial, interpersonal, but there is also a common national identification and common recognition of the Polisario Front as a tool, advocate and representative of the Sahrawi people. It is no doubt," said the same source. (SPS)
