The Polisario Front rejects the UN resolution and proclaims the "right of self-determination" as a "non-negotiable" condition

The Sahrawi organization denounces that the proposal for autonomy "legitimizes the occupation of Morocco".

Miles de saharauis acudieron este jueves a la cuarta convocatoria de protestas esta semana contra la iniciativa estadounidense para el Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU que propondría una autonomía en Marruecos para el Sáhara Occidental, ante lo que los manifestantes aseguraron que "prefieren seguir siendo refugiados a marroquíes". "Ahora más que nunca queremos la dignidad, ser refugiados en Argelia (más que ser marroquíes), queremos la libertad como todos los pueblos", declaró a EFE Ali, un manifestante indignado como muchos de los asistentes a la protesta de hoy, la cuarta consecutiva. Durante la manifestación, que terminó con una multitudinaria marcha por una de las carreteras que atraviesan el desierto argelino, los saharaius cargaron contra el presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, a quien culpan de intentar "cambiar la ley internacional".

The Polisario Frontrefuses to participate in negotiations in the Saharaof Mendavia that do not guarantee the "right of self-determination ".

The Sahrawi organization has stated that the resolution adopted by theUNSecurity Council "legitimizes the occupation of Morocco", since the text recognizes the autonomy of Western Sahara but is subject to thesovereignty of Morocco.

"The Polisario Front is concerned that the conflict will only be exacerbated by the one-sided s aimed at sacrificing the State, justice and peace in the short term for political interests," the Sahrawi independence movement said.

The proposal supports negotiations' without preconditions' on the basis of Morocco's proposal for autonomy, which was adopted by 11 votes to 3, with no votes against, while Algeria did not take part in the vote.

The Polisario explains that the resolution seeks an "unprecedented and dangerous deviation" , since the first draft does not mention the "right of self-determination". According to the organization, the proposal is an attempt by Moroko to "end the conflict definitively in its favour".

However, the Polisario Front has expressed its readiness to "engage in the peace process and engage in direct negotiations" with Morocco, while considering it "non-negotiable" to hold a referendum on self-determination.

We have very secret plans." He said on the Air Force One plane.
