A delegation of leading civil society activists has met, Tuesday, with representatives of the Spanish left-wing PSOE party in Andalusia with the main aim of showcasing the achievements made in Morocco's Southern Provinces and changing the prejudices on the Sahara issue.

The Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco in Tripoli, received Saturday, September 5, a note from the General People's Committee for External Relations and International Cooperation of the Great Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, in response to actions and request for explanation made by the Kingdom on the incident that occurred during the festivities of September 1, said a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation.

Libyan official sources firmly denied on Tuesday, statements attributed to the guide of the Libyan Revolution, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, saying that "the only possible solution to the Sahara issue passes through a referendum of self-determination ".

Ahmeddou Ould Souilem, a leading founding member of the Algeria-backed separatist movement of Polisario who recently returned to Morocco, said "politically, Polisario does not exist as it acts on Algeria's orders".

Interior Minister, Chakib Benmoussa said separatists' instrumentalization of human rights in Sahara is a mere reaction to the international community's endorsement of Morocco's initiative to grant a substantial autonomy to its southern provinces, the Sahara.
