Titled "Moroccan Women Detained in Polisario Camps, Prisons: Serious Human Rights Violations," the study conducted by Malika Bensahra and Fatima Amrani at the University Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah in Fez sheds light on barbaric practices of the Polisario. The latter deliberately used kidnapping, followed by rape, to increase the captive population in the Tindouf camps.
History has already documented how the Tindouf camps were established. The Algerian army entered the Saharan provinces at the time of decolonization and the evacuation of Spanish troops, and led thousands of people who were settled in camps in Tindouf to create the myth of refugees who were brainwashed by Algeria.
Last Wednesday in New York, the UN Security Council held closed-door consultations on the issue of the Moroccan Sahara, as part of the regular briefings provided for in resolution 2654, adopted by the Council on October 27 last year.
The politico-economic harmony between Spain and Morocco has been more than perfect since the resumption of relations between the two countries. This has been further consolidated with the holding of the 12th High-Level Meeting (HLM) in Rabat in early February, during which agreements were reached in various areas.
Despite the efforts of some to generate tensions for the purpose of destabilizing both kingdoms, politically, Morocco and Spain have found their way through a new discourse of complementarity where they no longer fall into the trap of realpolitik.
he new report of the World Food Programme (WFP) of the UN, in its evaluation of the "strategic program for Algeria 2019/2022", once again raises the alarm about the capture by the "polisario" of international aid intended for the populations of the camps of Tindouf, said the French expert in geopolitical strategies, Jérôme Besnard.
Morocco's ambassador to South Africa Youssef Amrani has strongly refuted the false South African allegations on the Moroccan Sahara issue expressed recently by the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Alvin Botes, in an op-ed piece dedicated to the Moroccan Sahara issue and which was published in the party's magazine "ANC Today".
"After the incident on Thursday night, in which Polisario militiamen entered the tent of the relatives of the Secretary General of the Sahrawi Movement for Peace (MSP), Hach Ahmed, and attacked one of his nieces and an eighty-year-old diabetic uncle, there was strong general unrest throughout the Dajla camp.
According to sources from the MSP, the residents of the camp, who mostly belong to the Ulad Delim tribe, caused a series of disturbances.
Massive expulsions of sub-Saharan migrants from Algeria to Niger are currently taking place," announces "Alarme Phone Sahara," a Sahel-Saharan platform created to rescue stranded exiles in the desert.
Director of Moroccan Archives, Mrs. Bahija Simou, with supporting documents, reiterated the Moroccanness of the Sahara, both southern and "eastern", during a conference held on February 22, 2023, in Rabat. In the next articles, I will focus on the "eastern Sahara" only, meaning the Moroccan regions that are currently attached to Algeria.
The consultation of French archives regarding what colonial circles of the time then referred to as the "Question of the Borders," more precisely, the "regions of eastern Morocco that France wanted to attach to its Algerian possession," is clear.
In my previous column, I showed that, for the French authorities in the Protectorate, the belonging of the "Eastern Sahara" to Morocco was evident.
