Angola: Region Reaffirms Support for Western Sahara Cause

15 July 2010

Luanda — The Angolan secretary of State for Cooperation, Exalgina Gambôa, Thursday in Luanda, reaffirmed the country's commitment to supporting Western Sahara people so that they attain their self-determination.

Exalgina Gambôa, who was speaking at the end of a meeting between delegations of both countries, added that Angola is ready to support Western Sahara Government so that the various resolutions, among them those of the United Nations, are fulfilled.

"We see that after many years they (resolutions) are not being applied, to a great disadvantage to the Sahrawi people", she said.

The Government official said that a Memorandum of Understanding is being prepared to be signed for Political Consultations between both Foreign Affairs ministries and, probably, to help in an international agenda of support and solidarity.

In his turn, the minister of Cooperation of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, Baba Salec, said that the meeting served to study ways of cooperation, friendship and solidarity between both peoples.

    CONGRATULATION ANGOLA !!! This is what true Africans should be doing to each one another. Africa and Africans need to elevate and develop together and NOT only the Invaderdoms who have exploited us "Africans and Africa" for centuries without any concret development for any African Countries; but boomber africa with their lies, destruction and stealing our vital minerial resources. Africa Wake Up; we are no more in the sixties. Let that part of Africa, our brothers and sisters get FREE and enjoy their sovereignty and liberty (freedom).
