Shaheed Al Hafed, 26 February 2023 (SPS) - President of the Republic, Secretary-General of the Polisario Front, Brahim Ghali, stressed that the Polisario Front cannot be a party to any approach that does not respect the clear legal basis for the conflict in Western Sahara.
President Brahim Ghali, in an address to the Sahrawi people on the occasion of the celebration of the 47th anniversary of the proclamation of the Republic, reiterated that the Polisario Front, the sole legitimate representative of the Sahrawi people, cannot in any way be a party to any approach that does not respect the clear legal basis for the conflict in Western Sahara, as a decolonization issue, resolved exclusively by enabling the Sahrawi people, the sole owner of sovereign, to exercise its inalienable right to self-determination and independence.
In this context, the President of the Republic called on the United Nations to expedite enabling of its mission in Western Sahara, MINURSO, to carry out the task entrusted to it by the United Nations Security Council, namely the organization of a referendum on self-determination for the Sahrawi people, in accordance with the terms of the United Nations-Africa Union Settlement Plan of 1991, the only one that received the agreement of the parties to the conflict, the Polisario Front and the Kingdom of Morocco, and the approval of the United Nations Security Council.
The President of the Republic called on the African Union to speed up the enforcement of respect for the principles and objectives of its Constitutive Act with regard to ending the Moroccan military occupation of parts of our country, in the context of respecting the borders inherited upon independence, and preventing the acquisition of the territory of others by force, as a key phase in reaching a solution to the conflict between the Sahrawi Republic and the Kingdom of Morocco, as member countries of the continental organization.
