Bir Lehlu (liberated territories),
04/12/2006 (SPS) Polisario Front declared to be ready to collaborate
with the UN Secretary General’s new Special representative for the
Western Sahara, Julian Harston, recently proposed by Mr. Ban Ki-mon
to the UN Security Council on the head of the UN Mission for a
referendum in the Western Sahara, MINURSO, indicates a press release
by the Ministry of Information.
"POLISARIO Front will provide the new Special Representative with
all necessary aid and cooperation for the success of the mission of
the United Nations with the ultimate goal to organise a free and
transparent self-determination referendum for the Saharawi people",
the press release stressed.
On another hand, Polisario Front condemned "the delays and
manoeuvres of Morocco, whose last avatar is the current propaganda
about the "autonomy" in complete ignorance to the opinion and
universally consecrated sovereign decision of the Saharawi people".
Polisario also called on the UN Secretary General and Security
Council to "take into consideration this reality" and to deploy all
efforts so as to "hasten the decolonisation of the Western Sahara
through the implementation of the peace plan adopted by the
international community".
The UN Secretary General has informed the Security Council last
Thursday about his intention to nominate Julian Harston, from the
United Kingdom, as his Special Representative for the Western Sahara
and head of the MINURSO.
Mr. Harston started working in the UN since 1995 after a career in
the British ministry for Foreign Affairs. He also worked in many
posts within the UN especially in the Department of the UN
peacekeeping operations in New York. (SPS)
