During his visit, the ambassador spoke with Saharawi students who are studying at that higher education center, the UM posted on its Facebook profile.

Bulsan highlighted the history of the Sahrawi people’s struggle and referred to the illegal occupation of their territory by Morocco and Mauritania since 1976.

The crucial role played by women in this struggle and their importance nowadays was another of the issues addressed by the diplomat.

He stated that the figure of Commander Fidel Castro, who facilitated that thousands of young Saharawis came to Cuba to study, was essential to the current brotherhood between the two peoples.

When the history and struggle of the Saharawi people, sometimes hidden by the media of other nations, is written, Cuba will have to be in the first pages because of its brotherhood and solidarity.

Abdelmayid Ail-la Farachy, a cultural attache at the embassy, also visited the university, where they shared other aspects of their culture and traditions, enriching the exchange with those present.
