Chahid El Hafed, 28/03/2007 (SPS) The Annual Assembly of the
Swedish Committee of support to the Saharawi people called on its
government to "continue supporting the implementation of the
international law in the Western Sahara", during the annual Assembly
of the NGO held on Saturday in Stockholm.
In its final declaration the Assembly added that the situation is
continuously degrading in Western Sahara and that the Saharawis in
the occupied zones are subjected to inhumane Moroccan repression.
In the Saharawi refugee camps, the Assembly estimates, frustration
and scepticism about the international community is increasing,
while the humanitarian aid is increasingly reduced in a moment when
the Moroccan dictatorship enjoys the support and complicity of some
European countries, especially France. Rabat continues thus
violating the UN resolutions asking for the decolonisation of the
territory and continues plundering the natural resources of the
country in complete opposition to the international law, the
declaration stressed.
The king of Morocco is pretending now to be presenting "a new
solution" consisted in the so-called autonomy for the inhabitants of
the Western Sahara, which is inhabited by a majority of Moroccan
settlers. "The autonomy can not be an alternative solution to
sovereignty", the Assembly considered.
"We ask the Swedish government to continue defending the
international law in as it did by voting against the illegal fishing
accord between the European Union and Morocco, and to work within
the European Union so as Spain assumes its responsibilities until
the finishing of the decolonisation process of the Western Sahara",
the same text added.
The text finally calls on the Swedish government to support the
Saharawi people’s right to self-determination and to adopt the
African Union’s position via recognising the Saharawi Arab
Democratic Republic. (SPS)
