Madrid, 28 May, 2010: South African militant Winnie Mandela called Thursday in Madrid for the decolonization of Western Sahara, "the last colony in Africa," and condemned the Moroccan occupation of Western Sahara, comparing it with "the fascist apartheid regime" in South Africa.
During the Public Universities Days on Western Sahara, opened Wednesday in Madrid, Winnie Mandela stated that the "solution to the question of Western Sahara is clear, which is the self-determination and independence, based on the application of the UN legitimate resolutions and international recognized principles."Winnie Mandela pointed out that "Western Sahara remains the last colony in Africa at a time when we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the UNGA resolution which is the cornerstone of the decolonization course under the auspices of the United Nations in the framework of international law and major independences in the African continent."
Winnie Mandela - President of the International Women's platform in support of the Sahrawi cause - also stated that the struggle of the Saharawi people for its inalienable right to self-determination is "a just and legitimate struggle for liberation led by a legitimate government."
She further stated "it is a struggle against colonialism and occupant and repressive state, indicating that Spain "has stolen the land and left it to other colonizer, namely Morocco, which continues to benefit from the support of Madrid as well as other Western powers exploiting the natural resources of the Saharawi people."
