Strong Reactions to Moroccan Foreign Minister's Remarks

The Sahrawi Government has issued a robust condemnation of the statements made by the Moroccan Foreign Minister during the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly. The Sahrawi officials have characterized these remarks as an intentional effort to distort the facts surrounding the Western Sahara issue and misrepresent its legal and political status. In an official statement released today, the Sahrawi Government underscored that the UN Security Council has never recognized Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara, nor has it endorsed the Moroccan proposal as the "sole basis" for resolving the conflict.

Moreover, the statement emphasized that resolutions from the Security Council mandate that any resolution must align with the objectives and principles outlined in the UN Charter. It is crucial that any proposed solution receives acceptance from both parties involved and upholds the inalienable right of the Sahrawi people to self-determination. The Sahrawi Government reiterated that the issue of Western Sahara remains an active item on the agenda of the UN General Assembly and its associated bodies, framing it as a matter of decolonization.

Commitment to Self-Determination and Independence

In its declaration, the Sahrawi Government reaffirmed the unyielding nature of the Sahrawi people's right to self-determination and independence, describing it as a fundamental right that is not negotiable. Furthermore, the Government expressed its disapproval of Morocco's recent announcement regarding its candidacy for a non-permanent seat on the Security Council for the 2028–2029 term, labeling this move as inconsistent with the principles and responsibilities of the UN body that is tasked with maintaining international peace and security.

Ultimately, the Sahrawi Government has reiterated its dedication to the Sahrawi people's ongoing struggle for freedom, independence, and the reclamation of sovereignty over the entire territory of the Sahrawi Republic. This commitment highlights the determination of the Sahrawi people to assert their rights and maintain their cultural and national identity amidst ongoing challenges.
