A ceremony to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Polisario Front was held in Havana on Wednesday in the presence of Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel.
During the event, a young Sahrawi student studying on the island considered the Caribbean country the home of all foreign students studying here.
Stressing that the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro, will always be an example, he thanked the largest island in the Antilles for working for the just causes of humanity and training young revolutionaries capable of fight against injustice anywhere in the world.
Member of the National Secretariat of the Polisario Front and Special Envoy of the President of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR), Jatri Adduh, thanked Cuba for his accompaniment, noting that the island has a glorious people whose progress will not be possible around to stop the acceding states’ aggressive blockade.
“There could be no better place to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Polisario Front than heroic Cuba, an example of resistance and struggle for its sovereignty,” he stressed.
He stressed that the Sahrawi people are increasingly united and strong, aware that there will be no rest in struggle until they achieve self-determination, sovereignty and true peace.
Yudi Mercedes Rodríguez, member of the secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC), brought a greeting from the Cuban people on the 50th anniversary of the founding of the front.
“The leadership and resistance of the Sahrawi brothers over 50 years makes them admired by the peoples, who recognize the enormous sacrifices they have made in their firm determination to uphold their noble and legitimate aspirations,” he said Officer.
