The UN’s treatment of the Sahrawi question has seen several turning points

CHAHID EL-HAFEDH- The representative of the Polisario Front to the United Nations (UN), Sidi Mohamed Omar indicated, on Wednesday, that the treatment reserved by the UN and the Security Council to the Saharawi questions was marked by “several turns and drifts”, attributing this to the attempt of certain countries, at the head of which, France to “empty the content of the settlement plan and bypass the right of the Saharawi people to self-determination”.

During a lively conference at the “Chahid El Ouali” room in the Sahrawi refugee camps, Mr. Omar indicated that France’s attempts to circumvent international legality have marked all the successive mandates of the Secretaries General of the UN as well as all the approaches presented by the UN envoys to Western Sahara ”.

Faced with the inertia of the UN, the Polisario Front decided to “revise the entire process, even if the revision stage was passed through the decision to resume the liberation war, on November 13, 2020 , following the aggression of the Moroccan occupation which targeted defenseless Sahrawis, at the level of the illegal breach of El Guerguerat “.

The resumption of the armed struggle has generated unprecedented momentum, he said, recalling that the Polisario Front had sensed the danger, given the overruns of the Moroccan occupation in the face of the inaction of the UN.

The United Nations and the Security Council have remained indifferent despite the many letters of warning that have been sent to them, he added.

The representative of the Polisario Front at the United Nations, welcomed the qualitative operations carried out by the Sahrawi People’s Liberation Army (APLS), adding that “the bombardment carried out in the illegal breach of El Guerguerat is intended as a message to the address of the Moroccan Occupation Forces, namely that the Sahrawi army is able to strike any place of presence of these forces.

The series of attacks carried out by the Sahrawi army against the Moroccan occupation forces which are behind the sand wall, extended to the breach of El Gueguerat in the southwest and to the area of ​​Mahbès, according to a press release from the Saharawi Ministry of Defense.
