Managua (Nicaragua), July 21, 2024 (SPS) - The participants in the International Trade Union Forum organized by the Sandinista Workers' Central in Nicaragua, from July 16 to 19, affirmed their support for the inalienable right of the Sahrawi people to self-determination and independence.
The participants in the international forum held in Managua, in their statement, called for the necessity of organizing the referendum approved by the United Nations in Western Sahara, which guarantees the legitimate and inalienable rights of the Sahrawi people.
The trade union forum condemned the illegal occupation of Western Sahara, calling for the "recognition of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, and effective contribution to the decolonization of the last colony in Africa".
The participants also demanded "the expansion of the powers of the MINURSO mission to include monitoring and reporting on human rights in Western Sahara".
