delegation accompanying him to debate on the last developments of

current situation regarding the question of the Western Sahara, the
peace process and the position of the Polisario Front on the
different aspects of the conflict.

and representatives of the present countries to deepen their
perception on the question of the Western Sahara as well as on the
position expressed by the President of the Republic", the statement
underlined.
The President of the Republic, Mohamed Abdelaziz, affirmed to the
UN’s Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon, during a meeting on Thursday at
the seat of the United Nations in New York, that the Saharawi
people’s right to "self-determination and independence are the only
basis recognised by the UN for the settlement of the conflict of
Western Sahara", indicated a written statement publicised Friday
morning by the Saharawi representation in New York.
"
In this regard, President Mohamed Abdelaziz underlined to the UN
Secretary General that the so called proposition of autonomy Morocco
is pretending to elaborate is no more than an improper manoeuvre
aiming to implicate the United Nations in the legitimisation of its
military occupation or our country. The so-called proposition is
categorically rejected by the Polisario Front and can in no way be
taken into consideration by the United Nations since it is an
unilateral proposition that does absolutely not enjoy the support of
the Saharawi party and violates the Saharawi people’s right to
freely decide over their future", indicated a written statement
publicised by the Saharawi representation in the United Ntions.
Mr. Mohamed Abdelaziz also tackled "the current situation in the
occupied zones of the Western Sahara, especially the permanent human
rights violations and the illegal exploitation of the natural
resources of the territory by the occupying force. President Mohamed
Abdelaziz drew the attention of the UN Secretary General on the
risks and dangers that may be generated for the Western Sahara and
the region because of the constant rejection by Morocco of the UN’s
resolutions and peace plans, and the persistence in the human rights
violations committed by the forces of occupation in the territory",
the same source added.
The Head of the State had a first meeting with Mr. Dumisani Kumalo,
President of the Security Council and permanent representative of
South Africa, the same source added.
Accompanied by a delegation composed of Mhamed Khadad, Coordinator
with the MINURSO, Boukhari Ahmed and Mouloud Said respectively
representative in New York and in Washington in addition to Abdati
Breica, Counselor at the Presidency, the Head of the Saharawi State
is undertaking a visit to New York and Washington since last
Wednesday, it should be recalled. (SPS)
