New York, October 04, 2016 (SPS) – the Foreign Minister of Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic SADR, Mr. Mohamed Ould Salek said that Morocco’s intention to join the AU must fulfill the requirements of the AU Constitutive Act and commit to upholding and respecting the principles including respect for borders as inherited the day of independence from colonial rule, and for the right to self-determination during his briefing today in New York.
In this regard, the Frente POLISARIO and the Saharawi Government look on with interest as to whether Morocco will indeed comply with the AU Constitutive Act and thereby uphold and respect the borders of Western Sahara and the right to self-determination of the Saharawi people. The colonization and occupation of one African country by another is contrary to all that the AU is founded on and stands for.SPS
