A People, United: Conversations with the Saharawi foreign minister

By Owei Lakemfa
MOHAMMED Salem Uld Salek descended the stairs of the Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic, SADR, Embassy in Abuja with an agility that belied his seven decades on earth. The foreign minister reminded me of our last meeting in June 2019 during the visit of the SADR (also known as the Western Sahara) President Brahim Ghali.
Salek, like a doting uncle, insisted on personally serving tea to Comrade Abiodun Aremu of the Nigeria Movement for the Liberation of Western Sahara, and I. He was accompanied by Ambassador Brahim Saleh Buseif and the First Secretary, Fadil Amari. Nigerian activist and facilitator, Suleiman Pema was also present.
