The ambassador to the Caribbean for the disputed territory of Western Sahara is urging the Government, and the wider Caribbean, to support the Sahrawi people’s right to self-determination.
Ambassador Mohammed Zroug made the comment during a media conference, alongside political leader of the Movement for Social Justice and long-time trade union activist David Abdulah, at the OWTU’s Port-of-Spain office on Friday.
Speaking on behalf of the Sahrawi government, Zroug described Western Sahara as “the last colony in Africa” and stressed that the Sahrawi people must be allowed to exercise their right to self-determination freely and democratically through a referendum, in line with international law and UN resolutions. He noted that the UN Security Council has endorsed a referendum since 1981, remaining the primary mechanism to guarantee a peaceful and lawful path forward.
