-The African Union must restore its role in resolving the conflict in the Sahara, in the face of some flimsy arguments that we hear here and there.
-The role of the African Peace and Security Council should be activated for a just and final solution in Western Sahara.
-There is an illegal exploitation of the wealth of Western Sahara and several attempts are made to change its human composition.
