In reviewing the latest developments concerning the national cause, the Permanent Bureau of the National Secretariat reaffirmed the Sahrawi people's determination to continue its struggle through all legitimate means, under the leadership of the Polisario Front, until their aspirations for freedom, independence and the establishment of its independent state are achieved.
The meeting paid tribute to the fighters of the Sahrawi People's Liberation Army stationed on the battlefronts, as well as to the activists of the Independence Intifada, particularly Sahrawi civilian prisoners held in Moroccan prisons, notably the Gdeim Izik group, commending their steadfastness in the face of repressive policies.
