Polisario Front 16^th Congress: CPS message of solidarity

The Communist Party of Swaziland (CPS) conveys its message of solidarity to the Polisario Front and conveys its solidarity and congratulations on holding a successful 16^th Congress from 13 to 17 January 2023, held under the theme “Intensify the armed struggle to expel the invader and build sovereignty.” 

The Congress was held under difficult conditions as the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic remains occupied by Morocco. We commend Polisario Front’s gallant fight to unite the people in your country in the resilient fight for freedom. 

The CPS reiterates its support for the affirmation of the Sahrawi people’s right to freedom and self-determination. The CPS will continue to unite with various justice and peace-loving people of the world to demand the end of Moroccan colonialism of the Sahrawi people.

The Sahrawi people's struggle resonates with our struggle as the people of Swaziland remain under the iron grip of the absolute monarchy. The Swazi monarchy is one of the chief allies of the colonial regime of Morocco and an enabler of the colonial regime’s crimes. Our struggle for freedom in Swaziland is, thus, at one and the same time a struggle for the total freedom of all people across the world, including the dislodging of the Moroccan colonial regime and attainment of freedom and sovereignty for the Sahrawi people.

The CPS will continue to stand in solidarity with the Sahrawi people as they fight for freedom. We also place our faith in the leadership of the Polisario Front to unite the people in this noble cause.

Long live the Polisario Front!

Long live international solidarity!

Freedom for the Sahrawi people!
