Shaheed El Hafed, 11 November 2026 (SPS) – The Preparatory Committee for the 17th Congress of the Polisario Front announced on Wednesday that the congress will take place from 15 to 20 January 2027 in Dakhla Wilaya, under the slogan “Unity, Resilience and Sacrifice to Impose the Sahrawi State,” named after the late martyr Abdullah Lahbib Bellal.
Speaking at a press conference at the Media Archives headquarters, the committee’s chairperson, member of the National Secretariat, Mr. Bushraya Hamoudi Beyoun, said the congress would convene amid complex national, regional and international developments, particularly those surrounding the Western Sahara issue at the United Nations.
He stressed the need to adapt mechanisms and structures to the requirements of the current stage, taking into account the challenges posed by Morocco’s expansionist policies and their implications for regional peace and stability.
Mr. Beyoun indicated that the National Secretariat, at its meeting on Tuesday chaired by the Polisario Front Secretary-General, President of the Republic, Mr. Brahim Ghali, had declared a state of general mobilisation and adopted measures in response to the current circumstances.
Regarding preparations, he explained that several subcommittees had been established to oversee military, security, political, administrative, legal, economic and social matters. These committees have begun their work and prepared reports based on the situation assessment document, which will serve as the main reference for preparations for the congress.
