The President of the group of friendship France-Morocco recalled about the goal of this meeting during her introduction, stressing that it is an attempt to "reconcile the points of view of the parties" to the conflict, Polisario Front and Morocco.
The Minister of the Occupied territories reiterated the position of the Polisario Front, which comes within the framework of "the Peace Plan for the self-determination of the people of the Western Sahara, elaborated by the United nations".
"The role of France, the situation in Morocco and in the whole region as well as the oppression led by the Moroccan authorities in the occupied territories were also discussed", during this meeting, the same source stressed.
Polisario Front’s delegation invited the groups of friendships with Algeria and Morocco to visit the liberated territories of the Saharawi Republic and the Saharawi refugees camps so as to "deeply investigate on the situation and to collect the points of views of the Saharawi populations", the press release concluded.

SPS Parliamentarians from different Swedish groups called on their Government to recognise the Saharawi Republic
|
Stockholm,
07/04/2006 (SPS) Parliamentarians from the different Swedish political parties
called on their Government to recognise the Saharawi Republic, estimating that
"strengthening the position of the Saharawi Republic will contribute to the
increase of security, knowing that this Republic is the only guarantee against
the use of terrorism in the region", reported the Swedish newspaper SVD, in its
Thursday’s edition.
In an appeal publicised in SVD’s Thursday’s edition, the Parliamentarians
underlined that the policy of Morocco in the region "created instability in the
North Western Africa" and consequently, "liberty, development and security in
the region demand a break with the current policy" of the European Union.
To the signatories of the appeal, "it is necessary to adopt new initiatives that
would engage Morocco and France", estimating that a "clear signal" like "the
recognition of the Saharawi Republic" to give an example to others nations is
the strategy to adopt.
"To continue in the passivity regarding the question of the Western Sahara will
only favours the interests of Morocco and France in the North-West of Africa and
will undermine the confidence in the European Union as a reliable actor", the
Parliamentarians warned.
"Thus, Sweden must promote the international law and join the list of the 82
countries that are recognising the Saharawi Republic. A Swedish recognition will
be an continuity in the Swedish traditions of anti-colonialism and a support of
the liberation of the colonised peoples. We will gain the respect and sympathy
of Africa. The international law will thus be respected and Sweden too".
The appeal that intervenes after the visit of the Moroccan Prime Minister, Driss
Jettou, to Sweden, was signed by Parliamentarians of the Socialist Democrat
Party, Party of the Centre, Christian Democrat Party, Liberal Party, and Party
of Environment, it was indicated. (SPS)
