Polisario Front Reaffirms Self-Determination as Sole Solution for Western Sahara Conflict

Polisario Front Reaffirms Self-Determination as Sole Solution for Western Sahara Conflict

The National Secretariat of the Polisario Front has concluded its 10th ordinary session, reiterating that the resolution to the Western Sahara conflict must be founded on the Sahrawi people's undeniable right to self-determination and independence. The Polisario Front explicitly rejects any proposed solutions that aim to legitimize Moroccan occupation or undermine the Sahrawi people's aspirations for freedom and sovereignty over their territory. The Secretariat has called upon the United Nations and its relevant bodies to fulfill their responsibilities in completing the decolonization process in Western Sahara, which remains the last colony in Africa and has been on the UN agenda since 1963. This reaffirmation comes amidst ongoing tensions in the region, where Morocco controls a significant portion of the former Spanish colony, a claim disputed by the Algerian-backed Polisario Front.

An editorial highlights the need to remember the three deceased children—5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callan—in the ongoing Lindsay Clancy trial.
