London,
31/03/2007 (SPS) The autonomy plan that Morocco is presenting as
"the magical solution" to the conflict of the Western Sahara will be
another failure, the
Saharawi Coordinator with the MINURSO, Mr. M’Hamed Khadad,
considered last Friday in London.
Mr. Khadad, recalled that the solution prescribed by the UN Security
Council is known to everybody and based on the decisions of the
international legality, reported the Algerian Press Service, APS, on
Friday.
"The wide Medias coverage that accompanied the turn of the Moroccan
delegation in charge for the explanation of the autonomy plan is in
fact an explanation of the impasse faced by Morocco, who tries to
cover the absence of acceptable arguments by a propaganda about a
pretended favourable reception by the international community of its
autonomy plan", Mr. Khadad indicated to the same source.
"Is it logical to ask countries to support a plan of which they
ignore the content, and which asks the international community to
bury the international legality and legalise the colonial fait
accompli?" Mr. Khadad wondered.
Mr. Khadad estimated that the Security Council "will not accept to
be entailed in a logic that can deviate it from the decolonisation
process of the Western Sahara".
Such an attitude "will re-question the cease-fire and put the
stability of the region at stake", he said, adding that "it is
difficult to imagine the Security Council supporting such a demarche
that is bearer of all factors of instability and tension for the
region".
The Security Council "must support the prompt organisation of a
referendum on self-determination that constitutes the unavoidable
path for a just and lasting settlement of the conflict".
Mr. Khadad, was received on Thursday at the seat of the British
Ministry for Foreign Affairs within the framework of an "explanation
campaign" of the Saharawi position regarding the settlement of the
conflict on the basis of the international legality.
The Saharawi diplomat indicated that he stressed in his meetings
with the British officials the need to adopt a steady position
asking for the support and encouragement of a just and last solution
to the conflict that provides for self-determination for the
Saharawi people.
He further stressed Polisario Front’s categorical rejection of the
so-called "autonomy plan promoted by Morocco, stressing that this
plan is considered by Polisario as a Moroccan attempt to avoid the
decisions of the international legality and an unilateral plan
through which Morocco wants to evade the holding of a referendum on
self-determination, which is the only real democratic option and the
most adapted to the principles of the international law". (SPS)
