Representatives of the National Center for Historical Studies (CNEH) of Venezuela held a meeting with diplomats from the Embassy of the Saharawi Arab Republic, to reaffirm the cultural ties between the two nations.

According to Information from Venezolana de Televisión, the president of the entity, Omar Hurtado Rayugsen, compared the serious situation of that State, belonging to the African Union, with the Essequibo and stated that we are facing a Europe that still does not learn from the past and from history.

“Europe doesn't learn; a clear example of this is what we saw recently when the European Parliament recognized that man, Edmundo González, as elected president of Venezuela, who fled the country. Europe continues to describe Maduro as a dictator,” he said.

For his part, the manager of International Affairs of the CNEH, Wikenferd Oliver Pérez, highlighted the entity's commitment to continue disseminating information about the situation faced by the Saharawi people, which is still unknown to many Venezuelans.

During the activity, which took place at the Bolivar-Chávez House of Insurgent History, located in the center of Caracas, the ambassador of the Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic, accredited to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Mohamed Salem Ali Ergueibi, expressed his gratitude for the interest of the CNEH in showing the reality of that invaded and attacked people.

“It's a multidimensional, political, legal and humanitarian conflict that has a climate, ecological and human rights impact,” he said.

In addition, the president of the Free Sahara Foundation, Lirio Reyes, explained that this town continues with a colonial situation, in accordance with the resolutions of the United Nations (UN) and stressed that this territory is invaded and occupied by the Moroccan Kingdom. “It is one of the most subdued, humiliated and abused peoples on the planet and that is not known, worse things happen in that town than in Palestine. These people are subject to genocide. They have been destroying this town for more than 50 years,” he said.

The managers and heads of each area of the CNEH were present at the meeting, who were enriched with valuable information about the culture of the Saharawi people.
