This has not achieved the gools that we have been hoping as active association and civil society in the Western Sahara, wich is still occupied and is not allowed to enjoy the right to self determination according to the UN charts due to many obstacles. especially when the diplomatic delegation subservient to , and comply with the instructions of the Moroccan regime, by elimanting Saharawis people to make their voice heard to these diplomatic delegations., which we consider unfair and kind of    discrimination against us as an effective Sahrawi civil society in the region. .

Emphasizing that looking  for achieving justice  and transparent investigation of the facts wich  reflects the actual situation of the various aspects of life in the region, Requires communication and listening in a balanced and equal manner to all views.
