ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) - The head of Western Sahara's government-in-exile urged the next U.N. secretary general Wednesday not to forget his people's three-decade struggle for independence from Morocco.
Mohamed Abdelaziz expressed hope that Ban Ki-Moon, nominated to the U.N.'s top job this week, could organize a referendum as soon as he takes office early next year.
"The credibility of the United Nations depends on respecting the fundamental principles of world peace, including peoples' right to self-determination," Abdelaziz said in an interview broadcast on Algerian radio.
