Speaking to Prensa Latina today, Fernando Abrego, Secretary General of the Association of Teachers of Panama-Central America, underscored the sacrifice and resilience of Sarahuis amid the difficult conditions they live in refugee camps under Algerian sovereignty. .
Like Panama, the Sarawies community deserves to decide on its independence and sovereignty and we use this visit, courtesy of the Ambassador of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) to our country, to strengthen ties and express our support and solidarity to the nobles to express cause, Abrego commented.
We consider the struggle of the Polisario Front, which seeks its absolute independence, to be legitimate, as do the Panamanians in their desire to abolish the neutrality treaty, he specified.
The leader of the Panamanian teachers expressed his admiration for the unwavering decision of the people of Western Sahara, currently 170,000 people in refugee camps and another 500,000 scattered in different countries.
It is our first visit and we hope it will not be the last, with the desire to explain to the Panamanians the details of this exemplary cause led by the Polisario Front, noted Abrego.
The delegation from Panama also includes Professor Diógenes Sánchez and Eric Acevedo, board member of the Association of Pedagogues.
The XVI Polisario Front Congress lasts until Tuesday and will mean a new strategy in the fight against Morocco, the occupying power that broke the ceasefire on November 13, 2020.
