Shaheed El-Hafed, October 11, 2025 (SPS) — The Minister of Foreign Affairs and African Affairs, Mr. Mohamed Yeslem Beissat, stated that the Moroccan regime must respect the rights of the Sahrawi people instead of pursuing a policy of maneuvers that will never bear fruit.
In a statement to APS on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of National Unity, the Minister said that this year’s commemoration comes amid continuous victories for the Sahrawi people and their just cause. He noted that “despite the political, media, and even military support that the Moroccan regime receives from its allies, the Sahrawi people have remained present and united for 50 years — and that in itself is a victory and a great lesson for Morocco and its allies, and the greatest achievement of all.”
The Sahrawi diplomat stressed that “maneuvers do not solve problems, concealment does not erase reality, and the truth will prevail,” calling on the Moroccan regime to “respect the rights of the Sahrawi people instead of adopting policies of deception that will never yield results.”
He added that Morocco “thought it had triumphed after its maneuver in 1975, but today, 50 years later, it has become evident to everyone that what it sells to its own people and to the world are mere illusions.”
He further stated that “the Moroccan regime, which claims to be achieving development in the occupied Sahrawi territories, has been facing daily protests for the past two weeks by its own people demanding social justice. If it cannot achieve development in its own land, how can it possibly achieve it in the land it has occupied?”
He pointed out that “after the maneuvers carried out by the Moroccan occupation and its allies to impose the so-called autonomy proposal on the Sahrawi people under the pretext of promoting development, the youth movement has exposed these claims as lies, deceit, and the packaging of falsehoods spread across the world.”
Mohamed Yeslem Beissat affirmed that “today’s reality proves that there is neither democracy nor development, and therefore what the totalitarian regime calls the so-called ‘autonomy proposal’ is in fact a failed commodity that it could not sell even to the Moroccan people — so how could it ever sell it to the Sahrawis?”
