Algiers, 29 December 2024 (SPS) - President Abdelmadjid Tebboune reaffirmed Sunday in Algiers Algeria’s ongoing support for just causes in the world, with special emphasis on the Palestinian and Sahrawi causes.
President Tebboune reaffirmed Algeria’s unwavering position regarding the Western Sahara issue, underscoring that this stance “will not change until the Sahrawi people have exercised their right to self-determination.” This position “carries no animosity towards any party or State,” he said.
The President of the Republic recalled that the Western Sahara issue is registered at the UN level “as a decolonization issue” and that “its file is submitted to the UN Decolonization Commission.”
“The idea of autonomy originated from France, not Morocco. We have known this for decades,” President Tebboune added.
He went on to say that the settlement options they propose are “choices between bad and worse, when it is an issue of decolonization and self-determination,” reaffirming Algeria’s respect for international legality and international law.
