Has the UN betrayed the Saharawis?

Has the UN betrayed the Saharawis?
It seems to be a tradition that at the end of his mandate every UN Secretary General reneges on the commitment to resolve the issue of Western Sahara in a just manner. But is it a coincidence that after his retirement, Perez de Cuellar was offered a position in a Moroccan holding company called Omnium Nord Africain and that Boutros Ghali was given the job of Secretary-General of the Francophonie organisation (l'Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie)? France, of course, is Morocco's closest ally.
The fact that Annan's mandate is nearing its end should be a source of
concern and alarm to the Saharawi people. But hopefully Mr. Annan will break the tradition and save what remains of UN credibility.

Nevertheless, the latest UN Secretary General report on Western Sahara
raises many questions.

Has the UN betrayed the sahrawis? Hmmm.

Not only has the UN betrayed the people of Western Sahara but so have, in particular, the Arab League and the Organisation of the Islamic Conference as well as the African Union/OAU. This is compounded by the shocking attitude of the EU, influenced by the former colonial power Spain, whereby Western Saharas marine wealth is surrendered to the Spanish fishing fleet in return for the EU turning a Nelson's eye to Morocco's actions.
