Bir Lahlou, November 7, 2024 (SPS) - The government of the Sahrawi Republic stated that the King of Morocco has once again resorted to the use of "illusion and deception in his speech through a language of escalation, intransigence, and rebellion against international legitimacy and the resolutions of the United Nations and the African Union."
On the occasion of the anniversary of the so-called "Black March," when Morocco militarily invaded Western Sahara in 1975, "the King of Morocco has once again resorted to the use of illusion and deception in a speech that embodies a language of escalation, intransigence, and rebellion against international legitimacy and the resolutions of the United Nations and the African Union, continuing the logic of expansion and occupation," emphasized a statement of the Ministry of Communication.
"The government of the Sahrawi Republic firmly condemns the attempts contained in the speech of the King of Morocco, Mohamed VI, aimed at distorting the historical and legal facts regarding the international character of the Western Sahara issue as a decolonization matter, in order to divert attention from his internal public, which is suffering from a deep structural crisis that worsens day by day," the same source stated.
The entire international community is witness to the obstruction by the Moroccan occupying regime at all stages of the implementation of the UN/OAU settlement plan, its subsequent rejection of the self-determination referendum, and its involvement in desperate attempts to adopt dubious solutions, fearing that the Sahrawi people will confirm their legitimate national choice which, on February 27, 1976, proclaimed the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic as an embodiment of the Sahrawi people's will for freedom and independence, recalled the statement.
Regarding the Moroccan occupier's attempt to mitigate the shock caused by the European Court of Justice ruling made earlier last month, the Sahrawi government warned "the countries of the European Union to consider the consequences of becoming involved again in anything related to the territory of the Sahrawi people and its natural resources."
As for the King of Morocco's remarks about a "renaissance of development" in the occupied Sahrawi regions, the Sahrawi government noted that "the only thing that the Moroccan occupying state can boast of having brought to occupied Western Sahara since its military occupation is a war of genocide, land confiscation, impoverishment, plundering of natural resources, forced displacements, and flagrant violations of human rights."
"The reality of Moroccan occupation imposed by force is inevitably ephemeral, as the immutable and irreversible reality is the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, a national, regional, and international reality established by the sacrifices and struggles of the Sahrawi people and strengthened by the great victories they have achieved on all fronts, thus disrupting the calculations of the Moroccan occupying state and pushing it to seek alliances with external parties to exploit them in its expansionist war against our people," the same source asserted.
It is time for the Moroccan occupying regime and its allies to realize that the Sahrawi people are pursuing their liberation struggle with all determination and strength by all legitimate means, including armed struggle, until the fulfillment of its non-negotiable objectives of freedom, independence, and the restoration of sovereignty over the entire territory of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, concluded the statement.
