Madrid, Jul 2 (EFE).- (Camera: Juan Yagüe) UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged Friday it was “absolutely essential” to revive a political dialogue on Western Sahara amid rising tensions in the region.INTERVIEW WITH ANTONIO GUTERRES.Translation:"We are really making an effort so that we can finally have a special envoy to revive the political process in Morocco. We had 13 candidates that were rejected by one of the parties. It is absolutely essential to restart the process of political dialogue because the current situation isn't sustainable and is a factor for instability, riks in an area where there is a strong risk of terrorism. It's absolutely essential to find a political solution and for that, we need to restart the political dialogue and it's essential both parties accept the envoy."
"A peaceful solution to this conflict is possible," UN envoy Horst Koehler says in Geneva after Morocco and the Polisario Front, which fought a war over the region until a 1991 ceasefire, took part in two days of roundtable discussions along with Algeria and Mauritania. SOUNDBITE
