At the official opening of the festivities commemorating the 45th anniversary of the creation of the Polisario Front at the Sahrawi refugee camp Aousserd, Salama welcomed the support of the brotherly and friendly countries to the struggle of the Sahrawi people, notably “Algeria, country of the glorious war of liberation and its President Abdelaziz Bouteflika as well as African, European and Latin American countries.”
The Sahrawi official said that the creation of the Polisario Front “emanated from an awareness of the Sahrawi people of the importance of combating the Moroccan occupation and preparing the armed struggle.”
“The conditions of the Front creation weren’t at all easy as we couldn’t ensure its continuity, because of the brutality of the Moroccan policy. The front’s activists were determined to reveal the schemes aimed to exterminate the Sahrawi people,” said Salama.
