Tindouf : Would the sequestered have the right to freedom of speech and movement ? PDF Print E-mail

The situation in Tindouf camps, in Algeria, and the deterioration of life conditions of thousands of Sahrawi refugees, held against their will by the Polisario, as well as the prevailing non respect of human rights dated from another age, is a shame in the eyes of any observer and an insult to the international community that still provides aid to the people living there.
In fact, camps isolation in the Algerian South-East, the seclusion which they undergo and the sequestration to which they are submitted by the Polisario armed militia, are pressing and unbearable and call out the international community. For this purpose, the responsibility of Algeria, the protecting and host country, is more than obvious. It is “indivisible, non transferable and enduring”, has affirmed Mr. Omar Hilale, Ambassador- permanent representative of Morocco at the UN Office in Geneva.
Mr. Hilale has specified, during the 47th meeting of the HCR permanent Committee in Geneva, that Algeria has in this regard « abdicated its international obligations in camps and has delegated them to an armed small group, which constitutes a very serious development, as it does not comply with the 1951 Geneva Convention about refugees and its protocol of 1967”.
Besides, the visit carried out by the High Commissioner to Tindouf in September 2009, constitutes a new violation of the HCR mandate and of its budget device, as the HCR has been voluntarily involved in an unsubtle manipulating operation, following the inauguration of a court room in the Sahrawi camps of Tindouf; a room which renovation and equipment have been financed by the HCR, which is against the HCR mandate and goals.

Celebrating the anniversary of the illusionary “SARD” creation, in Tindouf camps, in the Algerian South, hundreds of seditious propaganda brochures and leaflets have been distributed, for many days, denouncing the disastrous humanitarian situation of the Sahrawi people in Tindouf camps, hostages of the hazardous policy of the Polisario leadership and of the regional godfather’s nuisance willingness, the unbearable life conditions of the people, held by force in shame camps,  the raging repression and the corruption prevailing within the separatist movement machinery.
Propaganda brochures and leaflets have been distributed, in great numbers and at a large scale, within the administrative premises, police offices, guests and foreigners reception sites, ‘Presidency’ headquarters and military camps. A dispatching which reflects the rebellious movement’s strength and scope.

Polisario –Al Qaeda in the Maghreb: an explosive alliance PDF Print E-mail

Mauritania has just announced the arrest by force on its territory of three Polisario Front activists acting within the al-Qaeda Organization in the Maghreb (AQMI), and the search is carried on to try to overpower what is remaining of the terrorist network.
This news confirms the different reports and conclusions drawn by many international experts and observers about the increasing danger of such collusion between the Polisario and the AQMI susceptible to increase tensions and conflict risks.
It is to be reminded that this is not the first time that activities, fighters and sometimes sympathizers of the Polisario are involved in Jihadi cells of Al Qaeda in the Maghreb or even participate in war or terrorist operations of the Salafi and Jihadi organization.

Polisario: arms, smuggling and a guerilla upon request! PDF Print E-mail

What is left from the Polisario Front ? Few things are left to say if we examine closely the declining status of the independantist-armed group, the armed wing of the Algerian generals! The founders of the North African revolutionary movement are dead or have returned to Morocco or Mauritania, the others fighting with the pro-Algerian clan of Mohammed Abdelaziz have been imprisoned, are exiled or have escaped. Fighters, who were thousands during the 70s and 80s in an open war against Morocco and Mauritania, with the direct military support of Algeria, have left for their respective countries or to Spain. There remains, in arms, only some hundreds of indoctrinated men, most of them born in Tindouf camps, Algeria, and who hardly share with their eldest, the independence dream.
The melancholic Polisario fighters, being in forced rest, remain tempted by the Islamist fundamentalism, enduring and prolific in the region, mainly in Algeria with the dissolved Islamist Salvation Front (ISF), the rival factions of the ISF split and the Salafi Jihadi movement with the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC), active in many regions of Algeria and in the Sahara. Thus, its obedience to Al-Qaeda makes it a fearsome opponent. Contacts and common war, in the African Sahel, between the Polisario and the GSPC are frequent. The collision of the two warrior groups is evident and the risk to see the Polisario changing radically or one of its parties, within the Islamist radical influence, is a major datum, seriously taken by the political and military experts and strategists.
