She also addressed the position of Algeria on other conflicts explaining that:
"For Libya, Algeria has clearly stated that she favors dialogue between the Libyans instead of offering them arms to begin an everlasting war. Regarding Western Sahara, I indicate that the territories of Western Sahara are registered in the United Nations list of the non-self-governing territories and are dealt with in the United Nations as a decolonization issue. The negotiation process is on the hand of the United Nations. As neighboring countries, Algeria and Mauritania participate in the negotiation process as observers".
