The
Sahrawi people on Friday celebrated the 46th anniversary of the
Polisario Front creation (10 May 1973), an event that coincides with
achievements, both continental and international, enhanced with a
commitment of the Sahrawi people to their right to
self-determination.
The
achievements made in favour of the Sahrawi cause reaffirm the
recognition of the Polisario Front as the only legitimate
representative of the Sahrawi people in their struggle for freedom
and independence and the Sahrawi’s commitment to inalienable right
to a self-determination referendum.
The
Sahrawis celebrate this anniversary in the light of unprecedented
international and continental developments and an increasing interest
to the Sahrawi cause, notably the Security Council’s call for the
reopening of negotiations between the Polisario Front and the Kingdom
of Morocco.
On
5-6 December 2018, the United Nations had supervised a roundtable to
revive the process to settle the Western Sahara conflict under
respect to the Sahrawi people’s right to self-determination.
The
UN Personal Envoy for Western Sahara, Horst Kohler, had chaired the
second roundtable on Western Sahara, in the presence of Morocco, the
Polisario Front, Algeria and Mauritania.
Moreover,
the Security Council’s last decision (2468) on the six-month
extension of the MINURSO mandate instead of one year reflects the
interest the UN body attaches to the Sahrawi cause and its
willingness to find a solution ensuring the self-determination of the
Sahrawi people, in accordance with the relevant resolutions of the
Council.
The
celebration of the 46th anniversary coincides with many political and
diplomatic achievements including Western Sahara status as a founding
member of the AUO (UA currently) despite the plots of Morocco and its
allies.
The
AU played a key role in the revival of the Sahrawi cause by
constraining Morocco to sit alongside the Sahrawi during the meetings
it organized, in addition to the European Union (EU)
