President Cyril Ramaphosa remained silent on Friday, December 6, in Algiers, regarding the protest by members of his party urging him to reconsider his policy on the Sahara issue. In his speech before Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, he simply reaffirmed his longstanding support for the Polisario's positions.
«South Africa remains concerned about the continued occupation of Western Sahara by Morocco. The people of Western Sahara have the right to determine their own destiny.»
«The United Nations and the African Union must accelerate the process of resolving this issue, in accordance with the provisions of the 1991 ceasefire agreement, UN resolutions, and the legal opinions of international and continental institutions», specified the head of state.
On Wednesday in Johannesburg, demonstrators, all members of the ANC, called on Cyril Ramaphosa to distinguish between the issue of the Sahara and that of Palestine, as Palestine itself supports Morocco and does not recognize the Sahrawis.
