about this phenomenon, "will save no effort to support this
ambitious project".
Mr. Abdelaziz also drew the attention of his African counterparts on
the situation of the Saharawi refugees, who "are currently suffering
from a serious food crisis because of the lack of food assistance
from donating countries", while they are "deprived from their
agriculture, fishing and natural resources of their country because
of the Moroccan colonial occupation.
