in the name of Allah, the Merciful
Brothers and sisters,
Today we celebrate the Fortieth of the proclamation of SADR. We take this important opportunity to recognize, honor the founder of the Saharawi state, the martyr of freedom and dignity, El Wali Mustapha Seyed.
The proclamation of the years of the Sahrawi Republic the culmination of sacrifice and resistance of our people long headed by his heroes in the forefront as Sidi Mohammed Ibrahim Bassiri to lead the armed struggle during which our people have offered tremendous sacrifices and given numerous martyrs.
the circumstances of the proclamation of SADR has been extremely difficult and complex. In those years the Sahrawis should take decisive and urgent to address a conspiracy by Spanish colonial authorities decisions, through the Madrid Accords, in collaboration with the regime of Moroccan occupation aimed at eliminating an entire people, occupy its territory even appropriating their right to exist and independence.
This proclamation of SADR constitutes thereafter a radical change in the struggle of the Saharawi people consecrated after the declaration of National Unity with the irreversible choice a project leading to the creation of an independent national entity for all Sahrawis. The process of a young nation got back on track. A unique experience of its kind, born of suffering, sacrifice, perseverance and forged in the struggle for liberation.
With firm and persistent steps, the Saharawi State has strengthened its organizational structures, administrative, political, diplomatic, executive power, judicial, legislative and put in place mechanisms to ensure the most basic social services, focusing on health, education and training, to ensure the basic needs of citizens.
Beginning with an economy based on human capital strategy is a determining factor in the decisive battle, combining liberation and construction, the Saharawi State has built a modern and open society, committed to the ideals of freedom, democracy and equality where Saharawi women occupy a privileged position in the different sectors and institutions. Young, meanwhile, also play an important role in government policies and programs, despite the circumstances of war and limited opportunities.
The presence of the institutions and bodies is increased the Saharawi State exercising sovereignty over the liberated territories and manages the Saharawi refugee camps and will be enhanced by its diplomatic prestige by recognizing more than eighty countries worldwide, soon to become a founding member of the African Union.
Forty years after its founding, the Saharawi State now meets the conditions for membership of international bodies and organizations. On the occasion of the fortieth anniversary, we call on all countries in the world to speed up the recognition of the SADR, we ask for your support for his candidacy in the United Nations to support the legitimacy, peace and the realization of the decolonization of the African continent.
This would be a good and wise decision, since an independent Saharawi state with full sovereignty over its national territory, is a moderating factor of balance and stability in the region and, through its democratic approach open, its peaceful and quiet village serve as a strong link between peoples and countries in the region.
on this occasion, we send a message of fraternity brother Moroccan people and its government, and called to work together to accelerate the organization of a free, fair and transparent to the Saharawi people, where the UN has already identified voters referendum. And we assure the brotherly people of Morocco and his government that an independent Saharawi State will be beneficial to Morocco and in favor of peace and good neighborliness. Morocco find the good neighbor Saharawi State a sincere, tolerant neighbor, far from any tendency of revenge, willing to share what it has with its neighbors, based on mutual respect and sovereignty of the countries of the region and its peoples. Brothers and sisters
recent developments in Western Sahara unfortunately confirm the lack of real will of the Moroccan occupier in the search for a just and comprehensive solution to the conflict Saharawi-Moroccan.
There is a Moroccan and suffocating military security fence in the occupied areas Sahrawis, harassment of human rights and the systematic expulsion of independent international observers, so the occupying power can proceed with its flagrant violations of human rights and intense plundering of Saharawi natural resources, coupled with brutal crackdowns and unjustified arrests of Sahrawi civilians who have committed no crime but to vindicate the implementation of the resolutions and the United Nations Charter for a people who still enjoys of self-determination.
Given statements and other typical escalation of colonialism own provocation, threats and his visit to the occupied territories of SADR, the King of Morocco seeks to impose logic today expansion, aggression, arrogance, contempt and the fait accompli of the entire international community.
there is no other explanation for the ongoing attempts to prevent the Personal Envoy of the Secretary General of the UN Christopher Ross, will continue to play its role and access to Western Sahara, the main area of their work, but also the obstruction of the visit of the Secretary-General himself to the area, trying to determine its time, its program and its objective, far from tasks and responsibilities of the United Nations and its Secretary General including to impose the current impasse and negativity in the reports and resolutions of the security Council of the UN.
it’s unfortunate that countries that blatantly encourage the state of the Moroccan occupation to persist in intransigence and obstruction. If we condemn once again the efforts of the Crans Montana Forum to convene a new edition in the occupied city of Dakhla, in flagrant violation of international law, we hope that the position of brave and decisive France, the land of freedom, democracy and human rights, to refrain from protecting the aggression and the Moroccan occupation and encourage Morocco to a real commitment to the UN efforts aimed at holding a referendum on self-determination, and thus create a favorable environment for
close cooperation between the peoples and countries of the region, able to achieve the common interests between Europe and North Africa. the world can not remain indifferent to colonial practices in the XXI century an illegitimate Moroccan military occupation, whose essence is the expansion, aggression neighbors and flood the area drug, the largest producer and exporter of cannabis in the world, which encourages and fosters organized crime gangs and terrorist groups that threaten security and stability in the region and the world.
it would be a shame for the United Nations and the international community, not hastily adopt concrete measures and sanctions needed against Moroccan state to accelerate the implementation of international legitimacy, in particular, enable MINURSO, in the shortest possible time, to carry out its mission, namely the organization of a referendum of self-determination of the Saharawi people and a mechanism to protect , monitor and report on human rights in Western Sahara.
Brothers and sisters,
celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the creation of the Saharawi State in light of the huge success of the fourteenth Congress the Frente POLISARIO, which generated a dynamic atmosphere of enthusiasm and willingness to continue the struggle and sacrifices firmly. The main challenges are concretized in the next phase of our struggle and covering important aspects such as organizational structure, the Army Saharawi Liberation fronts of peaceful resistance: diplomatic work, information, culture, human rights, mechanisms management and control and the role of women and youth.
the massive participation of a wide representation of the components of our people, of different ages and levels of the occupied areas, southern Morocco , Camps pride and dignity, of Freed, rural communities Territories and abroad in large quantities, the national Day, reflects the strong will and categorical determination to preserve national unity, consensus on the sole legitimate representative of Saharawi people, the Frente POLISARIO to complete the victory, liberation and independence.
This is an opportunity to greet the masses of our people who rebelled against the Moroccan occupation, to all militants Independence Intifada in El Aaiun, Smara, Dakhla, Boujdour, Guleimim Assa, Tantan, Legsabi, Zag, M’Hamid El Ghizlane, Ifni and others, and also on university sites in Morocco. These heroic masses of our people continue to register every day a new and firm epic of peaceful resistance, armed only with the national flag and its motto liberation, self-determination referendum, independence and the expulsion of the occupation. At a time when we demand to Morocco shed light on the fate of more than 651 missing Sahrawis, the dismantling of the military wall of the Moroccan occupation, a crime against humanity, we salute the political prisoners of Gdeim Izik, Mbarek Daudi and all Saharawi political prisoners in Moroccan prisons, demanding an end to his imprisonment.
brothers and sisters,

First we greet with respect and gratitude to Sister Algeria under the leadership of President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, his people and his government. Today we make a great tribute to this great country that has not hesitated to take an honorable position, in harmony with the principles of the Glorious Revolution of the First of November and with the resolutions and the United Nations Charter and the adoption of the cause Saharawi with all transparency and clarity, as adopted the Palestinian cause and all causes of liberation of the world. We welcome the hospitable Algerian people, who have continued to demonstrate their solidarity and support after admitting in its territory to thousands of Sahrawi refugees fleeing a real attempt at collective and brutal extermination, in which Morocco has used napalm and phosphorus white, prohibited internationally against these defenseless people.
warmly welcome the sister Republic of Mauritania and appreciate the bonds of brotherhood, friendship, good neighborliness and common destiny that unite our two countries and our two brotherly peoples, and we note the important role of Mauritania in the fight against threats to the region in general and our constant readiness to cooperate closely with it and with all neighbors to achieve security, peace and stability.
Our fraternal greetings to the African continent, its great revolutions and liberation movements, which did not hesitate to accept the SADR within the continental organization, expressing an explicit rejection of aggression Moroccan African country against a brother. We welcome the commitment of the African Union in defense of the Saharawi cause, and take note of its rejection and condemnation of the colonial practices of Morocco, asked for a greater commitment, as a partner of the UN in finalizing the UN plan – OAU 1991.
we salute the solidarity movement in all continents of the world, and we call on the European Union to take measures in accordance with its principles and put pressure on Morocco to organize a referendum on self-determination Saharawi people, and desist immediately from participating in an immoral and illegal plundering of Saharawi natural resources and cancel all agreements with the Kingdom of Morocco including the Western Sahara territory or territorial waters.
We are proud of the relationships friendship, good neighborliness, history and culture that unite us with all Spaniards, reflecting a fascinating and comprehensive picture of solidarity and hope that the Spanish State to assume full political and moral responsibility towards the Saharawi people to exercise its right to self-determination and independence, knowing that Spain remains under international law, the colonial power, being legally responsible for the decolonization of Western Sahara.
Brothers and sisters
to renew our loyalty to the martyrs, salute the heroic fighters of the People’s Liberation Army Sahrawis, prepared to face all eventualities and challenges, remember that the list of sacrifice, glory and martyrdom remains open while we have not achieved our goal is freedom and independence, especially if the Kingdom of Morocco compels us as it did in 1975, we will resume the armed struggle.
the Saharawi people, wherever he is, he took his irreversible decision. Sahrawis adhere to their choice and their status, it is now a source of pride and a feeling of deep and sincere national belonging, consolidated over time into an independent entity, a distinct culture. There is no future for the Sahrawi existence or outside their territory free and independent. The Saharawi state with full sovereignty over the entire national territory.
Strength, determination and will to impose the independence, sovereignty and peace.
Thanks.
