AlgerApr 10, 2022 (SPS) Mohamed Amroune, Algerian teacher of political science and international relations claimed that despite its attempts to dilute the rightness of the Sahrawi cause, Morocco has failed to change the nature of the conflict in Western Sahara considered by the UN, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and all European jurisdictions as a matter of decolonization.
“Since its occupation of Western Sahara in 1975 to date, Morocco has not succeeded in changing the nature of the conflict in Western Sahara which remains essentially linked to the right of Sahrawis to self-determination”, declared Mr. Amroune during the meeting. a conference organized on Saturday in Algiers by the National Liberation Front (FLN) party on “the management of the conflict in Western Sahara in the light of changes in strategy and shifts in positions”.
Faced with all attempts to dilute the fairness of the cause, “the legal nature of the conflict was decided by the United Nations in 1966 as a question of decolonization”, added the speaker, recalling that the ICJ supported, in 1975, that the territory should be decolonized.
For Mr. Amroun, member of the Council of the Nation, this remains “an important support” for the Polisario Front in its fight for freedom.
He referred to “the geographical complex of the Moroccan regime which had expansionist aims in the region” although it was content with its borders following its independence in 1956″.
Morocco has tried to legitimize its occupation of Sahrawi territories by changing the notion of the right to self-determination with the proposal of autonomy and this only maintains and perpetuates the conflict, he continued.
Faced with these maneuvers, Mr. Amroune highlighted the many positions expressed at the international level on the conflict in Western Sahara in favor of international legality and the right of the Saharawi people to self-determination.
Returning to the reversal in the position of the President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sanchez, on the question of Western Sahara, he underlined that it was the consequence of the pressure exerted on the Spanish official by Morocco, in particular through the map of the illegal immigration, terrorism and what relates to the presidencies of Ceuta and Melilla.
In a brief speech delivered on this occasion, the secretary general of the National Liberation Front party, Abou El-Fadl Baadji, clarified that the question of the self-determination of peoples does not stop at the tweet of the former American president , Donald Trump, nor to the short-term position of the Spanish government, but it is “determined by the unshakable will of the peoples”, believing that the Algerian Revolution “remains the best example of the triumph of the will of the peoples to achieve freedom and to independence”.
