In a press conference, animated in the margin of these days, Mrs. Salek, who was accompanied by the Ambassador of the Saharawi Republic to Algiers, Mr. Mohamed Yeslem Baissat, indicated that "the cause of the Saharawi people is just, and sooner or later, they will triumph over the injustice".
She stressed that the Saharawi Republic is currently recognised by some 80 countries, of which the latter is Uruguay. "The international opinion must know, she said, that we are ready to opt for the peaceful solution for the recovering of our right to self-determination".
She further said that the Saharawi Republic has accepted since 1991, the proposition of the holding of a self-determination referendum, conforming to the UN’s resolutions.
Mrs. Mariem Salek, who talked about "cases of women arrested by the Moroccan police", hoped that "the international community realises a gesture in favour of the Saharawi cause, and follow the example of countries which do not stop expressing their support to our just cause".
The Saharawi Minister of Culture and Sports finally underlined that "if Morocco persists in its expansionist policy, the Saharawi people will be forced to resume to war". (SPS)
