MSP calls for a negotiated solution with Morocco for Western Sahara
The Board of Directors of the Permanent Political Commission (CPP) of the Movement Saharawi for Peace (MSP) held a meeting with the heads of the different coordinators and commissions of the Movement to evaluate the programme for the year 2023 and to define the main activities for the current year.
Importance of the Dakar Summit and confrontation with the Polisario Front
The meeting chaired by the members of the Political Commission Babahmed Buera, El Hadja Baboit and Mahamoud Baaya assessed positively the results of the action program of the previous year highlighting among other activities the International Conference for Dialogue and Peace held in late October in the capital of Senegal, Dakar and the accession of a large number of new activists to the MSP, especially in the Saharawi diaspora in Europe, Mauritania and in the refugee camps in Tindouf.
The Board of the highest political body of the SPM paid tribute to the representatives of the Saharawi traditional authority who attended the Dakar Conference to express the unrestricted support of all the tribal notables for the political project of the SPM.
The CPP board criticised the defamation campaign deployed by the Polisario leadership against the Movement Saharawi for Peace, recalling that the old armed movement has to assume that the "era of the single party has come to an end since April 2020".
It also called on the leadership of the armed movement to cease its systematic campaigns to sow discord, hatred and mistrust among the Saharawi society in order to justify the failure of its project and to stop the growing sympathy and support of the Saharawi opinion for the approach and moderate positions of the Movement and its activism against war and for a peaceful and negotiated solution with the Kingdom of Morocco with international guarantees.
The heads of the various coordinating bodies and committees of the MSP agreed on the importance of intensifying the work during the year 2024 in anticipation of the activities and meetings that should mark the next stage in which a relaunch of international efforts to achieve a compromise solution is expected in the light of the new prominence of US diplomacy as evidenced by the recent visits to the region by the Under Secretary of the US Department of State, Joshua Harris, as well as the backing of the mission of the UN envoy for Western Sahara, Staffan de Mistura, provided by the latest UN Security Council resolution.
