Sahrawi Defense Ministry Denies Propaganda Claims Published by Washington Post

The Sahrawi Defense Ministry has categorically rejected allegations made by The Washington Post claiming the presence of Sahrawi prisoners in Syria and suggesting that Sahrawi fighters are receiving training in Iran.

In a statement issued Monday, the Ministry clarified that these reports are entirely unfounded and form part of a broader disinformation campaign aimed at undermining the legitimate struggle of the Sahrawi people. It stressed that the Sahrawi People’s Liberation Army is fully capable of training and qualifying its own members independently, relying on its long-standing experience and professional competence.

The Ministry reaffirmed its support for the Sahrawi cause and denounced the attempts to mislead international opinion through baseless propaganda.
