“Here is a decent life ... The will of a people that has lived here for more than 45 years... Here is resistance... Here is determination... Here is the pride, glory and victory of the people who refused to be dependent... Morocco does not represent us... We are free, we are strong, and we hate the aggressors.”
هنا العيش الكريم ... هناء ارادة شعب عاشى لازيد من 45 سنة ... هنا المقاومة ... هنا العزيمة ...هنا الشموخ والمجد وانتصار شعب رفض التبعية ... اختار ان ينصاع لي ارادة الله لا لعبودية شخص ... المغرب لا يمثلنا ...نحن شعب حر نحن القوة وان كره المعتدون

“It is a hard place but worthy of our acts. Not robots or donkeys for your bastard king in the free Sahrawi, no living the life of a pig kissing the feet and hands of a pig. Better die standing than to die on our knees asking for forgiveness to someone who doesn’t deserve to be looked at.”
Es un lugar duro pero dignos de nuestros actos no robot ni burros para vuestro cabrón de rey en el saharaui libre o no vivir la vida de un cerdo besando los pies y manos de un cerdo mejor morir de pie que morir de rodias pidiendo perdón a alguien que no merece ser mirado
