Ban ‘saddened’ by death of Polisario Front leader
In a statement, Ban’s spokesman noted that over the years, Abdelaziz had been a central figure in the search for a resolution to the Western Sahara conflict. In this capacity, he met with numerous UN officials, including successive Secretaries-General, most recently with Ban in March at Western Saharan refugee camps near Tindouf, Algeria.
“The Secretary-General offers his condolences to Abdelaziz’s family and to the Frente Polisario [Polisario Front] as they mourn his untimely loss,” the statement said.
Ban looks forward to continuing to work to help the parties to achieve a mutually acceptable political solution, which will provide for the self-determination of the people of Western Sahara, the statement added.
