Algiers, April 10, 2025 (SPS) – Algeria’s National Construction Movement has described the recent U.S. stance on the Western Sahara issue as an attempt to circumvent international legitimacy.
The statement read: “We, the National Construction Movement, have taken note of the U.S. State Department’s reaffirmed position regarding the Sahrawi people’s cause, which considers the so-called ‘autonomy plan’ as a solution to the conflict.”
The movement expressed “extreme astonishment” at this “new, confrontational stance that contradicts the requirements of international legitimacy—whose institutions remain steadfast in their conviction that Western Sahara is a territory whose status can only be resolved through the decolonization process, and that the Sahrawi people are fully entitled to exercise their right to self-determination.”
The movement also voiced concern that “such positions, coming from a member state of the UN Security Council that seeks to bypass the logic of international legitimacy and the resolutions of its institutions, could further destabilize international peace and security.”
The National Construction Movement affirmed: “In Algeria and within our movement, we will maintain our stance, which aligns with the positions of international and regional justice—African and European—that do not recognize Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara. We will continue to employ all political means to support the Sahrawi people’s right to self-determination.”
