Algeria’s permanent representative to the United Nations Boukadoum Sabri reiterated that the Western Saharan conflict been be solved by ensuring the Saharawi people’s “fundamental right” to self-determination.
Addressing a debate of the Committee on Special Political Decolonisation of the United Nations, Mr Sabri said,
“ The Western Sahara issue represents an African issue, as evidenced by the African Union’s stances in favour of the right of the Saharawi people to self-determination. We must ensure that no one undermines the rules set by the General Assembly and Security Council, which are referents, not parties."
Reminding the Committee that the UN Security Council and General Assembly had recognised the Saharawi right to self determination, he added that Algeria “will be the first to hail when the Saharawi people decides its fate,” reports AllAfrica.com
