The Saharawi Movement for Peace asks the EU to promote a peaceful solution to the conflict

July 12 (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Permanent Political Commission of the Saharawi Movement for Peace (MSP) has asked the European Union on Tuesday to promote a peaceful and definitive solution to the question of Western Sahara.

“I urge the European Union to promote the definitive settlement of the Western Sahara problem instead of getting entangled in useless controversies about the legality or validity of the fishing agreements with the Kingdom of Morocco”, reported the first secretary of the Saharawi Movement for the Peace (MSP), Hach Ahmed Bericalla, in a statement.

“The highest political instance of the MSP reiterated its willingness to continue betting on the peaceful solution of the problem based on the road map and proposal presented by the MSP at the Las Palmas Conference last September,” he added.

During the celebration in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria of the I International Conference for Peace and Security in Western Sahara last September, the MSP called for a “point of convergence” between the Saharawi and Moroccan parties to find a peaceful solution , viable and with international guarantees to the Saharawi conflict.

Questioned by the criticism of other Saharawi associations for holding the Conference, even saying that the MSP was financed by Morocco, Ahmed Bericalla indicated that the fact that “suddenly” the Saharawis disagree with the political line of the Polisario Front does not mean that suppose an activity of Morocco.

Regarding the change of position of Spain with the Sahara, he assured that Spain and Morocco are two neighboring countries that usually have common interests and sometimes “very complex”, existing elements that can generate controversy.

He also insisted on the need to promote a peaceful and compromise solution to the conflict. “What does not necessarily imply the Moroccan proposal for autonomy – he clarified -. We have said from the beginning that the Moroccan proposal can be a starting point to find a solution and we would like to see its credibility and elasticity tested to reach a point of convergence.
