Saharawis remember Palestinians

Bir Lehlu (liberated territories), 30/12/2008 (SPS) The Government of Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) and the Polisario Front condemned Monday the massacre by Israel against Palestinians in Gaza Strip since Saturday, in which more than 350 were dead and 1600 injured, according to a statement of Saharawi Ministry of Information received by SPS.

Based on this principle, Saharawi Government, "expresses its solidarity with the Palestinian people in the tragedy subsequent to the massacre perpetrated by Israeli forces against Palestinians in Gaza Strip and supports their battle to defend their independence and territorial sovereignty", said the text.
The Saharawi Government and the Polisario Front which strongly condemn this criminal aggression against the Palestinian people, "urged the international community and all peoples and governments, including the Arabs to act urgently in order to bring to a halt these premeditated assaults, to prevent defenseless Palestinian people and lift the siege imposed on Gaza City."
