Western Sahara independence leader vows to continue fight for liberation of his people
Brahim Ghali, leader of the Polisario front

WESTERN Saharan independence leader Brahim Ghali has vowed to continue his fight until the international community acts to fulfil its promise of self-determination for his people.

He was speaking at the Dajla refugee camp in Tindouf province, south-west Algeria, in a rare public appearance on Tuesday as hundreds gathered to mark the 46th anniversary of Sahrawi unity.

Mr Ghali hit out at the United Nations for failing to hold a referendum that was agreed as part of a ceasefire signed between Morocco and the Polisario Front in 1975.
