@sanfeym Thank you Michael for this excellent analysis. We, in Western Sahara, are also hopeful that Ireland stands firm in its support of international law and respect of people right to self-determination in Western Sahara just as much as they do in other parts of the world!
It is with deep sadness that we learn of the passing of Gilles Devers, the tireless and dedicated lawyer who won so many battles for the people of #WesternSahara before the #EU Courts. This is a great loss, for many. Our thoughts are with his family, and with the Saharawi people.
The Frente #POLISARIO strongly affirms its total and categorical rejection of any “proposals” or “initiatives”, regardless of the origin thereof, which do not fully enshrine and ensure the inalienable, non-negotiable and imprescriptible right of the Sahrawi people to self-determination and independence or do not respect the territorial integrity of #WesternSahara🇪🇭.
The statement by the @EU_Commission is shameful. It should have instead acknowledge the integrity of European judiciary system and respect its decisions. Once again, EU demonstrates that its own interests triumph values, international law and legality! This is understandable.
Presidency of the Republic (Press Release): Historic victory for the Sahrawi people, the EU Court of Justice confirms the illegality of the EU-Morocco agreements and definitively rejects the appeals of the Council and the Commission. https://t.co/kJM4yCzeW8
2. We remind the @EU_Commission that there is one fundamental limit to the application of the principle of pacta sunt servanda: peremptory norms of general international law, such as the right to self-determination. #WesternSahara@vonderleyen@JosepBorrellF@eu_eeas
1. @EU_Commission responds to today's #CJEU rulings annulling EU-Morocco trade deals in #WesternSahara, indicating its intent to preserve and continue strengthening close relations with Morocco as per pacta sunt servanda principle: agreements must be kept. https://t.co/SetGBMc17I
This is a huge political & economic slap for Morocco, leaving the EC/Council with no realistic option, except dealing with Polisario (which it refuses). This ruling will set a precedent that will gradually impact *all* EU-Morocco agreements, incl investment and green energy.

Historic ruling! A victory for my people, a victory for justice and international law 🇪🇭The EU Court of Justice confirms that only the people of Western Sahara can decide over their natural resources and ends all illegal trade & fisheries agreements between #EU & #Morocco

Today we celebrate the 51st anniversary of the founding of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Saguia El-Hamra and Río de Oro (Frente POLISARIO), the sole and legitimate representative of the Sahrawi people. Since its establishment more than fifty years ago, the raison d'être of the Frente #POLISARIO has been to lead the liberation of the Sahrawi people and to relentlessly defend their national aspirations and their inalienable, non-negotiable, and imprescriptible right to self-determination and independence and the re-establishment of sovereignty over the entire territory of the Sahrawi Republic.
Today we commemorate the 48 anniversary of the proclamation of the Sahrawi Republic and decades of strengthening state institutions, resistance and determination under the Sahrawi Republic, the state for all Sahrawis, and the irreversible national, regional and international reality.

It was with overwhelming sadness that we learnt about the death of Namibia's President Hage Geingob. We extend to the Permanent Mission of #Namibia to the UN and to the brotherly Namibian people our most heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies at this painful time.
