Visiting Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic Foreign Affairs Minister Mohammed Ould Salek has described Zimbabwe as an example for Africa to emulate.

Speaking to journalists after paying a courtesy call on President Mugabe at State House yesterday, Minister Salek said he had come to deliver a special message from President Mohammed Abdelaziz to his Zimbabwean counterpart.

"It’s a great pleasure to visit one country which I can call my home because Africa is one country.

"I am visiting Zimbabwe as a special envoy of my President to deliver a special message to President Mugabe on the latest development in our country.

"Zimbabwe is an important symbol of sovereignty and independence and the special message from the Western Sahara is that our people should have an opportunity to have their independence," he said.

SADR nationalists are fighting Moroccan colonialism and will soon hold a referendum to choose autonomy or stay under occupation. Zimbabwe, Algeria and other African countries have been at the forefront of advocating for the country’s independence.
