Algeria Foreign Minister said in the UN that in order to have stability in the region, a decolonization process from the Sahara needs to take place.
“Our region also needs a complete decolonization process in Western Sahara which is the responsibility of the UN in compliance with the resolutions of the UN General Assembly and Security Council and on the eve of the 40 anniversary of the Advisory Opinion of the International Court of Justice which supported self-determination as requirement of the solution to be implemented in this territory,” Lamamra said.
Algeria’s statement comes few days following King Mohammed VI’s speech in which he pointed out Algeria as the main party in the Sahara conflict, not the Polisario Front or any other group at that matter.
Morocco accuses Algeria of directly supporting financially, training military and dictating the choices of the Polisario front, which is a blatant violation of international law and international conventions on the rights of refugees.
