The peace and stability Namibia continues to enjoy is a source of inspiration for Western Sahara, which continues to pursue self-determination.

A special envoy of the President of Sahrawi, Brahim Ghali, said this during a courtesy visit to President Hage Geingob, which was aimed at briefing him on the latest developments in their country.

The Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, also known as Western Sahara, has been seeking self-determination since 1975 following a long-running territorial dispute with Morocco.

Namibia and South Africa reaffirmed their continued support for the pursuit of self-determination in Western Sahara.

The countries declared their support during the Bi-National Commission Ministerial Meeting held in Windhoek. The United Nations classified Western Sahara as a non-self-governing territory.

While the Sahrawi people have been waiting for a referendum, Morocco has invaded and occupied the territory since 1975 and has been profiting from the resources of Western Sahara.
