The document was issued at the end of the meeting of the Permanent Bureau of the National Secretariat chaired by the President of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic and Secretary General of the Polisario Front, Brahim Ghali, points out the SPA news agency.

The Polisario Front reiterated that “ending the status quo and the conflict prevailing since 1975, when Spain abandoned its responsibilities towards its former colony of Western Sahara, requires the full implementation of the principles of international legality, respecting the sovereign decision of the Sahrawi people over their territory and natural resources”.

UN resolutions must guarantee the right of the Sahrawi people to self-determination, reiterates the communiqué of the meeting held in Chahid Al-Hafed, a territory free from the illegal military occupation by the Moroccan army.

In this regard the Permanent Bureau of the National Secretariat highlighted “the imperative responsibility of the United Nations to continue and bring to an end the process of decolonization of Western Sahara, ensuring that the Sahrawi people can exercise their full right to self-determination and independence”

Also this Tuesday The President of the Sahrawi Republic and Secretary-General of the Polisario Front, Brahim Ghali, addressed a letter to UN Secretary-General António Guterres, calling his attention and that of the members of the Security Council on “the grave situation in the Sahrawi occupied areas, owing to the continued oppression and violence exercised by Morocco, the occupying State, against Sahrawi civilians.”

Ghali highlighted “the scorched-earth policy pursued by the Moroccan occupation authorities through the expropriation of land owned by the Saharans, the destruction of their homes, the burning of their tents and undermining their means of subsistence, killing their cattle and poisoning their wells”.

The Saharaui president said that those policies are being carried out with “the stated objective of uprooting them from their homes and lands and settling more Moroccan and other settlers in the Territory, as part of an intensive settlement policy whose main objective is to change the demographic composition of the Territory and perpetuate the occupation.”
