AU Says Western Sahara Needs Referendum Before Escalation Overturns Regional Stability Tue 26th January 2021 | 06:20 PM
MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 26th January, 2021) The Sahrawi people need to be able to have a referendum on self-determination before the conflict of pro-Sahrawi movement Polisario Front with Morocco destabilizes Western Sahara, Smail Chergui, the African Union s commissioner for Peace and Security, told Sputnik.
Since October, in a bid to challenge Morocco s rule, activists linked to the Polisario Front movement have been blocking the main road, which connects the Rabat-controlled territories of Western Sahara with Mauritania, stopping passenger traffic and commercial transportation of goods across the border. In response, Morocco launched an operation against the Polisario Front in the buffer zone of Guergarat in the Moroccan Sahara on November 13. The movement accused Rabat of violating the 1991 ceasefire and pledged to resume the war.
