Why not a Maghreb investigation committee about the serious violations and the inhuman treatments undergone everyday by thousands of Sahrawis living in Tindouf?
Such a committee would be more credible, with the advantage of representing the Maghreb countries and will thus conduct an internal enquiry to reveal the untold in an issue opposing Morocco and Algeria, two neighbouring countries.
This is a proposal from the Moroccan League of Human Rights (LMDDH), whose announcement coincides with the celebration, on 26 June, of the International Day against Torture. Taking this opportunity, the League reiterates its rejection and condemnation of torture perpetrated against civilians in Tindouf, only because they have expressed their opinion. Also, the League has called the NGOs defending human rights to intercede with Algeria in order to put an end to this kind of abuses and conduct international penal prosecutions against those who committed these crimes. 
The same grievances and recriminations have been expressed in Italy, especially in the regions of Toscana and Lombardy. A delegation of Sahrawis, including former Polisario leaders, has denounced atrocious living conditions inflicted for more than thirty years to thousands of Sahrawis in Tindouf.

Amnesty International has accused Polisario to be responsible for the impunity from which have benefitted the perpetrators of human rights violations committed, during the 70s and 80s, in Tindouf camps, in the South-West of Algeria.
The International Organization for Human Rights which has presented its 2010 annual report, on Tuesday, in Rabat, has also pointed the Algerian executives refusing access for NGO to investigate about repeated human rights abuses and violations in Tindouf camps.
Thus, the NGO based in London has requested that « the Algerian authorities show more collaboration by allowing Amnesty International to investigate about abuses committed by Polisario during the 70s and 80s ».
This call addressed to Algeria is the last one of a series of procedures, undertaken in vain by international NGO, to have access to Sahrawi camps located on the Algerian territory.
Already in 2009, HRW had claimed its « preoccupation about the human rights situation in Tindouf camps », an area qualified by the American Organization of being « isolated and subject to a strict control ».

Morocco has again asked the UN Agency for Refugee to insist that Algeria authorizes the census of Sahrawis living in Tindouf camps, a request which is well founded at a time when the Sahrawi people continue escaping, in groups, these camps to join Morocco.
The call has been launched by the Foreign Affairs Moroccan Minister at a time when another group of 49 Sahrawis has arrived to the South of Morocco. These Sahrawis joined hundreds of other compatriots who have reached Morocco these last months. According to the Minister, a census led by the UN Agency for Refugees would also allow these populations to express freely themselves about their right of remaining in the camps or joining their homeland.
By opening these camps, the UN Agency for Refugee would shed light on what is really happing and, thus, contribute to put an end to abuses and human rights violations committed there.

A new group of Sahrawis has just escaped from Tindouf camps, in Algeria, to join Morocco where hundreds of their compatriots have preceded them during the last weeks. The arrival to Sahara of this group composed of  35 Sahrawis, confirms that this continued wave of escapes won’t stop soon.
The reason of this important escape from Tindouf camps relies in the similar declarations of the rallying people themselves: being tired of the Polisario pointless separatist propaganda, aware of these ideological anachronic revendications which are, henceforth, not more than a mirage, weary of remaining packed in the desert, in destitute and shameful conditions. All this to serve the gloomy intentions of Algeria’s regional hegemony and a small separatist group, which are not seduced by the idea of representing the Sahrawis.
