THE Polisario Front accused France and Spain of impeding a referendum on independence for Western Sahara on Monday as the separatist group demanded a seat at the United Nations.

“The Saharawi state claims its seat at the UN,” he said, accusing France of “blind support” for Morocco in delaying a referendum on independence for the disputed territory.
