Total failure of the Polisario to impose new sanctions - 8/24/2007

Since the beginning of august the leadership of Polisario decided to deprive the inhabitants of Tindouf camps of Algerian passports, and necessary visas to travel abroad. (It is worth mentioning that these documents are delivered through the Polisario leadership)

The polisario leadership gave firm instructions to its representatives abroad, and to the security services in charge of controlling the camps, to make sure that this abusive decision will be put into practice as from 15th of august until January 2008.

The circulation of this news led to a general anger among the inhabitants of the camps, and also among an important part of the polisario leadership, which did not participate in the elaboration of such decision.

Following reactions of discontent and hostility, the camp populations have rejected the decision aiming at preventing the freedom of circulation, contrary to the basic principles of human rights. The Polisario leadership was forced to rapidly give up  its unjust decision aiming at maintaining the blockade imposed on the Sahraouis forbidden to go back to their homeland.

The Polisario decision to withdraw its unjust option reveals the incapacity of its leadership to take such inhuman decisions aiming at reinforcing the blockade imposed on the refugee camp populations, and to prevent them from freely deciding their own destiny.

The non application of such villain decision is in fact a great victory to the camps populations, which demonstrates their willingness to liberate themselves from the unilateral, totalitarian, and inhuman decisions taken by some leaders of the Polsario front who monopolize power within polisario front.

Our hope is that the camp population’s resistance and the complete rejection of the arbitrary and inhuman decisions of the Polisario Front will led to a new era of liberation of all Sahraouis from the domination practiced by some members of the Polisario leadership, who prevent them from returning, peacefully to their home, and their homeland.

This inhuman development is added to another one which was made public on the CORCAS political site (see: www.corcas.com) on the 17th of august 2007; concerning the intervention of the Algerian army  as a result to the decision of some leaders of the Polisario front  to sell water to the populations of the camps. The Algerian army directly distributes water in order to avoid any uprising against the Polsario front.

These permanent attempts made by the Polisario front, in order to tighten their control over Tindouf camps, and impose a non stop sanctions on its populations; clearly demonstrates the failure and incoherence which characterize the Polisario’s leadership behaviour.
