The African Union Summit of Heads of State and Government, called on the United Nations General Assembly to finalise a date for holding a referendum for self-determination of the Saharawi people in Western Sahara.
Noting concern about the failure to reach a solution to the Western Sahara conflict, the AU summit called for “a date for the holding of the self-determination referendum for the people of Western Sahara and protect the integrity of Western Sahara as a non-autonomous territory against any act likely to undermine its integrity.”
The AU stressed the importance of “international efforts to facilitate the early resolution of the conflict.”

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
