In front of the importance the media are giving to the Aminatou Haidar issue, the representatives of the Sahrawi tribes living in Europe and regrouped  within the Association of Sahrawi Tribes in Europe (ATSE) have strongly reacted and vigorously condemned the media and politician  over-exploitation, in keeping with a large plan of manipulation and brainwashing, remote-controlled from Algiers, with the complicity of certain Spanish milieu, aiming at distorting the facts as they are on field and undermining the influence and sympathy which enjoys , on the international scene, the Moroccan  autonomy project for the Sahara called Western Sahara.
Thus, the Association of Sahrawi Tribes in Europe called the international community, through its institutions and non-governmental organizations, to act levelheadedly and vigilantly and to make the difference between crass rigging deeds, planned and controlled by third countries, fiercely opposing , for different reasons, the completion of the territory integrity of Morocco, and undeniable facts of destitution and abuse of thousands of persons, held prisoners against their will, in the Lahmada camps in Tindouf, in the Algerian territory, and who are suffering  from malnutrition and from all possible and conceivable hardship, despite of the important humanitarian aid intended for the Tindouf camps and diverted by the Polisario militia, with the active complicity of the Algerian armed forces.

For most of the observers, Aminatou Haidar’s reactions since November 16 are not at all spontaneous. By rallying to the Algerian secret services, she loses all kind of legitimacy to defend the human rights. According to all media means, Haidar has never denounced the life conditions and human rights in Tindouf as well as in the Algerian sequestration camps in Tindouf and Rabouni. That can be normal for a human rights militant coming from elsewhere but not for a militant that wants to defend the Sahrawi people. These actions principally aim at diverting the international opinion from the real issues and stakes of the Sahara, blurring the voices of the international NGO who condemn the life conditions of the Sahrawi people in Tindouf camps, trying to give credibility to a front condemned by many organisms for humanitarian aid misappropriation, torpedoing the negotiations process intended by Morocco and the autonomy plan judged by the international community as “credible” to get out of the deadlock of the Sahara conflict, and other visible and hidden reasons that corroborated with the Algerian agenda to divert the attention of the Algerian people from the daily robbery of oil incomes.

The participants in the round table of November 9th, 2009, initiated by the Moroccan Center of Strategic Studies and Researches(CMERS), about the disappearance and torture cases perpetuated in Tindouf camps, in the Algerian South-West, have insisted, in a final release, at the end of their works, accompanied with testimonies and poignant stories of ancient war prisoners and victims of exactions, tortures and forced disappearances committed by the Polisario and the Algerian military Security, on launching a vibrant call to the international community so that judicial pursuits, for war crimes and crimes against the humanity, should be undertaken by the international instances against the officials of the Polisario and of the Algerian military Security departments.
