Madrid (Spain), 14 November 2026 (SPS) – Prime Minister Bushraya Hamudi Beyoun reaffirmed that the Sahrawi people will reject any solution that does not guarantee their inalienable right to freedom, self-determination and independence.
Speaking on the second day of the 50th EUCOCO International Conference in Madrid, the Prime Minister expressed gratitude for the invitation, stressing the conference's significance given Spain's historical, political and administrative responsibilities towards the Sahrawi people.
He recalled that Spain's actions in 1975 paved the way for Morocco's occupation of Western Sahara, stressing that Spain's historical responsibility remains until the decolonization of Africa's last colony is completed.
Beyoun also criticized the Spanish government's support for the proposed autonomy plan, describing it as contrary to international law and United Nations resolutions affirming the Sahrawi people's right to self-determination. He urged Madrid to reconsider its position and support a political process based on international legality.
The Prime Minister reiterated the Sahrawi government's readiness to cooperate towards a just and lasting solution guaranteeing the Sahrawi people's right to self-determination, while reaffirming its determination to continue the struggle until their legitimate aspirations for freedom and independence are fulfilled.
He called on the international community to assume its responsibilities in securing a just and lasting solution in accordance with international law.
