About 400 people, according to the organization have staged the concentration convened by the Associations of Friends of the Saharawi people in the Plaza de Santo Domingo de Murcia, which has developed from 10: 30 to 12: 30 this morning.

Most of the 150 Saharawi children who arrived last day 1, accompanied by their host families, plus many participants have put a note of color to the sunny morning.

Unable to develop the schedule, since the capital Hall again according to the organization "did not authorize the performance of a musical group of Sahara, or the installation of the" tent ", or tent provided.

They have chanted slogans such as "Referendum Now", "Viva el Sahara Libre" and "Viva Polisario", among others.

At the end of the act has been read the following statement:

A summer, for fourteen, received in the region of Murcia to the little ambassadors of the Saharawi cause.

The Saharawi children spend the months of July and August received by the close-knit families in the region of Murcia were born in exile, in the most inhospitable territory in the Sahara.

His short life has accumulated all the suffering of a people plundered by greed and invading the neighboring country, Morocco, and complacency indecent most influential countries on the planet who did not want to defend international law, before opting for their economic interests.

Faced with this tangle of problems, the Saharawi people resist the peaceful advocacy of their right to independence, calling for the holding of a referendum on self-determination that can be expressed freely, as stated in the UN Charter and all resolutions emanating from the General Assembly and Security Council.

The children of the Saharawi people are here among us, also evidenced the desire for freedom from their elders and know the solidarity of the Spanish company with them and the values they represent.

These little children of the clouds, raised by their mothers with all the shortcomings of the refugee camps, may ask the prime minister of Spain and Morocco which gives a "torpedo boats" and "cluster bomb throwers" and sells cars shielded by more than 200 million euros.

You may wonder why the government of Spain, the country where they spend the summer months, providing weapons to the country they have invaded and exiled.

You may wonder if sooner or later, those weapons will be killing them or leave them mutilated, as previously happened with their parents and grandparents.

The responsibility of the governments of Spain, which colonized the Western Sahara for more than a century and a direct cause of suffering of the Saharawi people may not be limited to maintain quotas of humanitarian aid to refugee camps, must be the engine help the referendum of self-determination, relying on international law, stopping the rearming of Morocco, a country whose government bodies are systematically violated human rights in Western Sahara, stopping the illegal plundering of natural resources such as fishing and mining phosphates that are the heritage of the Saharawi people, engaging in the defense of the Sahrawi activists Human Rights are arrested, tortured, imprisoned and convicted in court without warranty pantomimes.

This government has to take a radical turn in its approach to support Morocco's consolidation plans of their status actually occupying a territory.

Maintain current paths only serves to prolong further the long torture of Sahrawi, the silent genocide.

The Saharawi children who are with us are entitled to return to his true home, to return along the Atlantic Ocean.

Families each summer we will have the right to see them happy in their land.

So we are here today to reaffirm the support of society Murcia Sahara's independence.
