Algiers, October 23, 2025 (SPS) - The Minister of Foreign Affairs and African Affairs, Mr. Mohamed Yeslem Beissat, clarified that the Sahrawi proposal presented by the Polisario Front is a comprehensive and democratic proposal guided by the possible options within the framework of decolonization and the exercise of the right to self-determination.
During a press conference held at the Sahrawi Embassy in Algiers, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and African Affairs pointed out that the Sahrawi proposal is comprehensive and democratic and is guided by the possible options within the framework of decolonization and the exercise of the right to self-determination, including independence, integration with Morocco, or other options mentioned in the relevant General Assembly resolutions (Resolution 1514 of 1960 and Resolution 2625 of 1970).
Mohamed Yeslem Beissat added that the Popular Front advocates for the option of national independence, but it will respect the will and free choice of the Sahrawi people, whatever it may be, and will not allow any option to be imposed upon them.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs and African Affairs indicated that "the Sahrawi proposal stems from our aspiration, as an African and Maghreb people, for the urgent importance and necessity of accelerating Maghreb integration and unity in North Africa, in harmony with the aspirations of the peoples of the region and the vision of the African Union."
The Minister of Foreign Affairs and African Affairs pointed out that after 50 years of war and conflict on various fronts, the Sahrawi side believes that the time has come to turn the page on the past with its pains and wounds, and to rise towards a promising future, brimming with opportunities for prosperity and dignity that new generations aspire to achieve.
He also affirmed that the Sahrawi proposal is based on the firm conviction that true peace does not come through schemes, maneuvers, or imposed solutions, but is built through responsible dialogue and mutual respect based on the exchange of benefits and confronting common challenges, with reason, wisdom, and sincerity.
