Mr. Manongi
The United Republic of Tanzania voted in favour of the resolution extending the mandate of the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara. However, it is our view that the right of selfdetermination of the people of Western Sahara cannot be subject to any preconditions. As it is, it has gone unfulfilled for far too long. It is our hope that the next six months will witness real p…
