Cuba, Venezuela condemn Moroccan repression

Cuba and Venezuela condemned on November 11 the repression by Moroccan forces against Sahrawi people in El-Aaiun, the Venezuelan News Agency (AVN) said that day.

Cuban and Venezuela’s ambassadors to Algeria, Hector Michel Mujica and Eumelio Caballero, condemned the attack by Morrocco, which is illegally occupying Western Sahara. The ambassadors are also the accredited diplomatic representatives of their nations to the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR), the independence of which is being denied by Morocco.

The diplomats called the camp Gudeim Izik, where the Moroccan violence left at least 14 dead people, the “camp of freedom”.

The Sahrawi ministry of cooperation signed trilateral agreements with the Cuban and Venezuelan representatives, which included projects such as building schools in the Sahrawi refugee camps.
