Sahara NGO "Association sahraouie de défense des droits de l'homme" (ASADEDH) has called on Spanish judge Baltasar Garzon to issue an arrest warrant against the current representative of Polisario in Algeria, Brahim Ghali, accused of "genocide and torture" against the Sahrawi people, and who is expected to visit Spain early October.

The President of the Republic of the Comoros, Ahmed Abdellah Mohamed Sambi, reaffirmed Wednesday in New York, the constant support of his country to Morocco regarding the Sahara issue.

Prime Minister Abbas El Fassi held talks Tuesday at United Nations headquarters in New York with King Mswati III of Swaziland, including bilateral relations and latest developments in the Sahara issue.

Ambassador of Germany to Morocco, Ulf-Dieter Klemm, described as a "sound approach" the Moroccan initiative to grant autonomy to its southern provinces, the Sahara.

Former French Foreign Minister, Hubert Védrine, highlighted the "important" statement made, last April before the Security Council, by the former UN envoy for the Sahara Peter Van Walsum, which deemed that "the independence of the Western Sahara is not a realistic option."
