New York — Ali Sahel, the Algerian National Association for Youth Exchange (ANEJ), called in his speech Tuesday before the UN Fourth Committee, Special Political and Decolonization, for a solution to the question of Western Sahara.
Mr. Sahel said "the hopes prompted by the ceasefire turned out to be an illusion and the insurrection of 2010 along with other demonstrations had been repressed with bloodshed and abuse measures like torture by the Moroccan authorities."
"There had been a significant drop in employment among the Saharan youth, ninety per cent left school after primary education, they took refuge in the deserts because of persecution, and were subjected to other precarious situations, all because the Moroccan occupation starved and terrorized them."
"That policy also aimed to implant occupation in the minds of the young people and to kill any hope of a peaceful solution," he added.
