Washington, D.c. — A letter signed by American Voters and international human rights advocates, was delivered to the White House today calling for U.S. President Donald J. Trump to pressure Morocco to end its illegal occupation of Western Sahara or hold the long promised referendum before the end of the year. The letter circulated by the U.S. Western Sahara Foundation cited the strong parallels between the Western Sahara issue and the themes on which Trump campaigned for President when he spoke about the "forgotten men and women" and highlighted how corruption in government can lead to much suffering and unfairness. The Sahrawi are the forgotten men and women who have suffered because of corruption and broken promises over the long promised referendum.
"Republicans, Democrats and Independents joined in our appeal with great hope that President Trump could be the one U.S. President who could end this brutal occupation and bring freedom to Africa's only remaining colony," said U.S. Western Sahara Chair Suzanne Scholte. "He personally saw the corruption between Hillary Clinton and the Kingdom of Morocco, which currently occupies Western Sahara, during his Presidential campaign."
