Arab Committee for Solidarity with the Sahrawi People Calls for an End to Moroccan Occupation and Upholding the Right to Self-Determination
✍️ BY: Dr. Hana Saada
Algiers – October 2025 – In a resounding statement issued on October 25, the Arab Committee for Solidarity with the Sahrawi People renewed its call for the immediate termination of Morocco’s illegal occupation of Western Sahara, urging intensified Arab and international efforts to uphold the inalienable right of the Sahrawi people to self-determination. The committee also reaffirmed its categorical rejection of the so-called “autonomy proposal,” denouncing it as a flagrant violation of international legality.
The Committee, expressing its position from Beirut, declared that it joins millions of free voices across the globe in closely following the United Nations Security Council’s deliberations on the American-sponsored draft resolution concerning the Sahrawi question. It voiced hope that the forthcoming UN decision would reflect a genuine commitment to the principles of international law, decolonization, and the fundamental rights enshrined in the UN Charter.
The statement underscored that the Western Sahara issue is not a regional or territorial dispute, as the Moroccan regime seeks to portray it, but rather a decolonization case recognized by the United Nations as one of the remaining issues of peoples exercising their right to self-determination—an indisputable and non-negotiable right.
The committee warned that Morocco’s continued occupation of Sahrawi territory constitutes a grave and ongoing violation of international law and the UN Charter. It urged the international community to assume its legal and moral responsibilities by taking decisive action to end the occupation and hold the Moroccan authorities accountable for their persistent defiance of international legitimacy.
Responding unequivocally to the so-called “autonomy plan,” the Committee reiterated that this proposal has been firmly rejected by the Sahrawi people and by all free and conscientious movements worldwide. It stressed that the concept of autonomy applies only to cases where a people within an existing state seeks administrative self-governance, not to territories under colonial occupation. Western Sahara, the statement affirmed, has never in its history been part of Moroccan territory, nor does the Sahrawi people share Morocco’s historical, ethnic, or cultural identity.
The Committee recalled that Morocco’s occupation of Western Sahara followed Spain’s withdrawal through what was cynically termed the “Green March”—an orchestrated military invasion that in no way confers sovereignty upon Rabat. It cautioned that granting the occupying power any form of legitimacy would set a perilous precedent, undermining the very foundations of international law and the global principles of decolonization.
Concluding its statement, the Arab Committee for Solidarity with the Sahrawi People stressed that international justice must prevail by granting the Sahrawi people their legitimate right to independence and sovereignty—just as other nations once freed themselves from the yoke of colonialism.
Meanwhile, the Sahrawi cause continues to face a systematic cyber assault orchestrated by the Moroccan Makhzen’s digital propaganda apparatus. According to Mahmoud Al-Saleh, President of the Arab Committee for Solidarity with the Sahrawi People, the Moroccan regime’s “electronic flies” have been relentlessly attempting to silence voices of solidarity and truth across social media platforms.
Speaking recently to the Algerian Press Service (APS), Al-Saleh revealed that “the Moroccan cyber army has for years tried to shut down the Committee’s digital accounts and social media platforms, in a desperate effort to suppress the voice of justice that calls for the Sahrawi people’s right to self-determination and independence. These attacks have intensified significantly in recent weeks.”
He added, “The echo of truth that is now resonating across the world has clearly unsettled the Moroccan occupation regime, prompting it to mobilize its digital militias to obstruct and distort the Committee’s online presence. But no cyber warfare or propaganda will ever succeed in concealing the reality of occupation or silencing the legitimate voice of the Sahrawi struggle for freedom.”
