Tindouf population is affected by fuel crisis and the Polisario military regime evade responsibility


  Fuel exclusive distribution the Polisario military authority own  is still smuggled to its neighboring Mauritania instead its real place: the Tindouf Camps.  These fuel tanks are smuggled through different means by the corrupt  military Polisario who get rich at the expense of their compatriot .

The scarcity of fuel in the camps lead to the paralysis  of  transportation means between the Tindouf Camps   unabled many  Sarahawis to visit their  relatives .  Families now in Tindouf are faced not only with this fuel  crisis but also  the fear of the increase of food prices resulting from the lack of goods that  doesn`t reach the camps. 

Now that the fuel distribution center retain only small amounts of fuel  make  life become burdensome for the inhabitants in these camps of shame; many with dire health conditions who require to be taken to the hospitals can`t afford to do it due to the lack of fuel .  Mant Hmiya Aghlana,  a woman of 60 years olds who suffers from a chronic disease  had to wait in her sons`s car for more than seven hours in order for  her son to get the necessary fuel  to take to her  to her weekly medical checkup. For this family , it becomes a nightmare that certainly threatens the health of the mother .

These open acts perpetrated by the Polisario regime de facto affected the population in Tindouf economically , socially and humanly and need to be condemned by the international law.More than that, the International community need  to take urgent and effective measure to protect the sequestered Saharawi population from the ruthless oppression of the Polisario who deprive these people from the basic human rights set in the International declaration of Human Rights.

Appeal from a Washington based Think Tank to close the Tindouf Camps by Yasmine Hasnaoui


  Again, the truth has come out  to show the danger that these camps of shame represent. A Washington based think tank has released a powerful   report that strongly calls for the closure for  Algeria backed  camps  and controlled by the Polisario; a separatist movement that saw light in the seventies and whose mission was to oust the Spanish occupier from the Moroccan territories but it soon turned into a separatist movement having as a sole objective to affect Moroccan sovereignty without any valid reason. In this report on terrorism released on February 3rd, Yonah Alexander the director of the Center for International Studies on Terrorism, under the Potomac Institute argues that ``these camps have become under the influence of the militias of the Polisario, a fertile ground for recruitment into terrorist networks, all kinds of traffickers and criminal gangs, hence the need for their closure".

On the other hand, Yonah Alexander states that during his visit in Dakhla, a south province of Morocco,  he witnessed  many opportunities in term of human development that this region offers to its inhabitants. Many who fled the Tindouf camps and   joined their mother land Morocco were fully integrated into the society to become productive citizens.

Indeed these camps represent a real danger to the stability and the security in the Maghreb.  Not only that , I personally believe that these camps of shame  need to be closed not only because they are the hub of terrorism but also it is  approaching genocide where a population is sequestered against its will , badly nourished , denied the  freedom of movement  as well the choice to leave or stay ….. We know who is to blame, we know who constantly puts  unprecedented stumbling blocks  to all of this: Not AMERICA,  NOT THE EUROPEAN UNION NOT MOROCCO  as this last has presented a solution that is recognized   by the international community  as `` serious , realistic and credible `….IT`S MAINLY ALGERIA WITH ITS GENERALS
