London, 23/03/2007, (SPS) Polisario Front called, Friday, on
some Arabic newspapers to show some "objectivity" in their treatment
of the conflict of the Western Sahara and not to be influenced by
the Moroccan approach.
In their covering of the so/called Moroccan autonomy and the turn
undertaken by the Moroccan emissaries in many influent countries,
the Arabic Medias "give the impression that we are in front of an
extraordinary event and a courageous step aiming to find a solution
to the conflict", affirmed Polisario Front representative to the UK
and Ireland, Dr. Sidi Mohamed Omar, in an article published by the
London based Arabic newspaper, El-Qods El-Arabi.
"This exaggerated interest" given by the Arabic Medias to the
"Moroccan initiative" is due, according to the Saharawi diplomat, to
two elements. The first been, "the complete ignorance of the history
of the conflict of the Western Sahara, what is inexcusable
especially if we take into consideration the increasing interest
given by many international Medias to many aspects of the conflict
that languishes for three decades so far".
The second element is linked to the "conscious or unconscious"
reproduction of the news propagated b the Moroccan Medias without
verification of their authenticity in complete violation of the
"professional principles of deontology and journalism", he stressed.
The Saharawi representative recalled of the historical development
of the conflict and the sources of the Moroccan "initiative", as
well as the long peace process supervised by the UN, which was
supposed to provide for the self/determination referendum under the
aegis of the UN. (SPS)
