In a speech addressed to the Saharawi people on the occasion of the celebration of the 47th anniversary of the founding of the Sahrawi Republic, Ghali said that the sixteenth conference of the Polisario Front “decided the decision that the Saharawi people cannot accept the continuation of an illegal situation, in which the Moroccan occupation state is examining its aggressive, expansionist, settlement policies, and its grave violations.” human rights, its plundering of the natural resources of our country, and its provocative practices on the occupied parts of our country.”

Ghali stressed that the Polisario Front “cannot in any way be a party to any approach that does not respect the clear basis and legal reference for the conflict in Western Sahara, as it is an issue of decolonization, resolved exclusively by enabling the Sahrawi people, the sole sovereign, to exercise their right, except disposable and non-negotiable, in self-determination and independence”, calling on the United Nations to expedite enabling its Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) to carry out its mission.

And after the Saharawi president highlighted that his country “continues to advance steadily on the path of building, consolidating its position and completing its control over all of its national territory,” he reaffirmed its “full readiness to fulfill its international obligations towards peace, security, stability, and prosperity for the peoples of the region and the world.”

The Saharawi president warned of “the consequences of the expansionist aggressive policies of the Moroccan occupation state, and the mines of tension and instability it sows.” He renewed his condemnation of the Spanish government’s position in support of the Moroccan occupier’s thesis, which contradicts the position of the Spanish people who embrace the largest movement in solidarity with the just struggle of the Sahrawi people.
