Abdelkader Taleb Oumar (Arabic: عبد القادر طالب عمر) is the current Prime Minister of Western Sahara, in the framework of the exiled Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR). He was named to that post by president Mohamed Abdelaziz, following the XI General Popular Congress held in Tifariti on October 29, 2003.
Oumar is a Polisario Front veteran who has lived in exile in Tindouf, Algeria since 1975. He has held ministerial posts in several previous governments, served as speaker of the Sahrawi National Council (the exile parliament) in 1999-2003, and before that as wali, or mayor, of the Smara refugee camp in Tindouf.
As Prime Minister, Oumar has strongly supported the Baker Plan and believes the United Nations must, "push Morocco [to] comply with international legality and implement Security Council's resolutions." He has repeatedly thanked South Africa for "the indefectible support of South Africa to Saharawi people and to SADR"[citation needed].
