This decoration comes in recognition of his significant struggle and efforts in defending human rights in the occupied territories, and his unwavering support for the Sahrawi people during the most difficult times, serving as a voice for justice and a messenger of freedom to the world.
Today, an ANC delegation led by First Deputy Secretary-General Nomvula Mokonyane met with H.E President Brahim Ghali, conveying revolutionary congratulations to the people of Western Sahara on the 50th anniversary of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic.
The Sahrawi Republic, proclaimed in 1976, has been at the center of a long-standing conflict over Western Sahara, a territory claimed by both the Sahrawi people and Morocco. Mozambique has historically supported liberation movements across Africa, aligning itself with the Sahrawi cause as part of its broader commitment to decolonization and human rights. The recent reaffirmation of solidarity by Mozambique’s Minister of Health underscores the ongoing diplomatic relations and shared struggles between the two regions.
