------------------------------
COMMUNIQUE
The bureau of the National Secretariat held a meeting on May 04 2008 under the chairmanship of Mohamed Abdelaziz, the Secretary General of POLISARIO Front, the meeting was devoted to the latest developments of the Saharawi question in the United Nations following the adoption by the Security Council of resolution 1813 on 30 April 2008.
In this respect, the bureau is delighted that the Security Council has decided through this resolution to upheld international legality and to reaffirm the pertinence of resolutions 1754 and 1783 that call on the two parties to the conflict to engage into negotiations with a view to reaching a solution that guarantee the Saharawi people's inalienable rights, rejecting thus the attempt that aim to alter the Morocco-Saharawi conflict from its nature as a decolonisation question.
The bureau of the National Secretariat deemed the personal approach preached by Mr. Peter van Walsum, illegal, unjust and completely aligned to the thesis of the Moroccan colonial occupation whose objective is to hijack the Saharawi people's inalienable rights to self-determination and independence. The bureau vigorously condemns, on behalf of POLISARIO Front, this approach and considers that Mr. Walsum has lost the confidence of the Saharawi people and thus can no longer play a role in the ongoing process Western Sahara decolonisation.
Recalling that the cease-fire, in force since September 6, 1991, between the Saharawi Army of Liberation and the Moroccan forces of occupation is an integral part of the process of holding the referendum on self-determination, which was accepted by the two parties and unanimously endorsed by the Security Council, the Bureau reiterates that any attempt to alter the conflict from its nature as a problem of decolonisation will eventually be doomed to fail. In this respect, the Bureau reaffirms that the POLISARIO Front will not accept today or tomorrow to enter into a process that aims at negating the Saharawi people's inalienable rights to self-determination and independence.
Bir Lahlou, May 04, 2008". (SPS)
