Western Sahara Foreign Minister, Mohamed Salem Ould Salek, did not excluded the idea of returning to arms and declaring national liberation war and resisting the Moroccan occupation, as a legitimate right that is guaranteed by international laws.
He said that the Polisario Front is under intense pressure from all Sahrawis to return to the war, under the Moroccan intransigence that refused to comply with international resolutions and disabling the path of negotiations.
“Leaks and documents expose the Moroccan regime which is dealing with UN bodies, international organizations and governments of some countries for the purchase of receivables and attitudes that support its theses. On the other hand, they show the subtraction of the work of some organizations and a number of UN decision makers.”
“Morocco has blocked all efforts to find a peaceful solution to the Sahrawi issue. If the international community did not move and Morocco will not obey the resolutions and international legitimacy, the Saharawi people will only use the option of returning to armed struggle and declare the national liberation war, as it is considered a real project that has been approved by all international conventions.”
Sahrawi Foreign Minister, Mohamed Salem Ould Salek, renewed his condemnation of the speech that was delivered by King Mohammed VI, last Thursday, to mark the 39th anniversary of the military invasion of Western Sahara, describing it as “suicidal” and that “proves isolation of Morocco regionally and internationally.”
Sahrawi diplomatic Chairman, added, at a press conference, on Sunday at the headquarters of the Western Sahara Embassy in Algeria, that Mohammed VI during his speech stressed that “Morocco is a colonial state of all standards and classical specifications. Attempt of Morocco to repudiate of all obligations and decisions, put it in an unprecedented international isolation and confrontation with the global and international human rights bodies, as neither bribery, nor extortion and creating a policy of lobbies in many capitals helped it. “
