Quotations

“Despite this climate of grave violations of human rights, crimes against humanity and war crimes, Sahrawi society is evolving to claim these legitimate rights by peaceful means. Faced with barbarity we find that the relentless pursuit of peace and human dignity is fully respected.” (Rome, Nov. 26, 2006; photo territoriosocupadosminutoaminuto.blogspot.com)
