Western Sahara: official launch of the RASD TV

The Polisario officially launched Wednesday its first television channel TRASD-V to break the media embargo imposed by Morocco on the conflict in Western Sahara, said the Director General of the television.

•     La RASD-TV, which was officially inaugurated Wednesday broadcasts since April 2. The inauguration coincides with the 36th anniversary of the outbreak of the armed struggle in Western Sahara, explained the Director General of the SADR TV, Mohamed Ahmed Salem Labaeid.
  
     RASD TV will cover the entire continent of Africa, Western Europe and an important part of the Middle East, he added.
  
     This new building of the information will help alleviate the media blackout imposed by Morocco, to raise awareness around the Sahraoui cause, to reinforce the message of the Sahraoui people struggling through the image and make its voice heard in the world whole, he said.
  
      RASD TV is intended to show the world the suffering of the Sahraoui people in refugee camps and in the territories occupied by Morocco, said Lebaeid.
  
      This TV will allow us to speak directly and to give our views and our vision on the reality of the conflict in Western Sahara, he explained.
  
      Former Spanish colony, Western Sahara was annexed in 1975 by Morocco, which offers a wide autonomy under its sovereignty, not independence.
  
      The Polisario claims rather a self-determination referendum in which independence would be one of the options.
