Suspicion has become the rule for the civil servants of UN agencies working in the Sahrawi refugees’ camps in Tindouf. The alert has reached the maximum degree since the date of the last programme of family visits exchange between Laayoune and Tindouf from 8 to 15 April, according to exclusive information which “Sahara News” succeeded to get to. In fact, during this period, an individual pretending to be from the secret services of the Polisario has reached, in a mysterious  and worrying way, the HQ of the UNHCR settled in a hotel in the camp called “Laâiun”. The details of this incident were given by an influential member of the MINURSO mission to “Sahara News” in an unpublished Tindouf correspondence. This executive has thus stated that, while the MINURSO agent in charge of assisting the HCR staff was on duty during the night, he was surprised with the presence of an unknown person who entered surreptitiously in the HCR headquarters.  He questioned the intruder and “asked him politely about his identity and he answered to be from the secret Sahrawi services”.

The young idle Sahrawis are at their wits’ end. The populations in Tindouf camps live these last times, a real tragedy with devastating impacts on the stability of the whole North African region, we have read in the Italian daily newspaper “Il Forglio” in its edition of Saturday, in which was mentioned the “serious poor conditions” prevailing in Tindouf camps in the South-West of Algeria and the absence of any future prospects whether on the political or economic level for the populations of Sahrawi refugees. The daily mentions the “degree of unhappiness never reached before”. These camps, according to the journalist Pio Pompa, a specialist in the defense issues, are undergoing “the most serious humanitarian crisis that ever happened in the last years”. Mentioning, moreover, Mahjou Salek, former Polisario leader and founder of the dissident movement “khatt Achahid” (the line of the martyr), the El Foglio journalist states that it concerns a group of drug traffickers composed of Touaregs, Sahrawis and Malians who should be involved in the kidnapping of the Italian Rossella Urru, with the two other Western citizens, in last October, in Rabbouni camp, near Tindouf. The newspaper warns the international community against the increasing terrorist danger threatening the whole Maghreb and Sahel region.

The national sovereignty and territorial integrity are the red line in the process of Western Sahara conflict settlement. Morocco, occupying at present the position of non permanent member of the  UN Security Council remains the unique plateforme for negotiations on the Sahara question, has stated the Foreign Affairs Minister, Saâd Dine El Othmani.
Contrary to the referendum option to which sticks the other party and which has become null and void since 1999, the Moroccan initiative’s strength resides in its conformity with the international norms and the international rights, has explained the Minister who was presenting on last Friday the draft budget of his department for the financial year 2012, in front of the Foreign Affairs Committee at the House of Representatives. In this statement made few days after the 9th round of informal negotiations in Manhasset, he reminds at this purpose that since 2007, Morocco has achieved a noticeable breakthrough thanks to the Moroccan autonomy proposal which has acquired the support of the international community, describing it of being  “a realistic, serious and credible one”.

The changing of government in Spain, which took place in last November, from Socialists to Popular Party of the left wing was not followed by a change in the position of the Spanish Kingdom concerning the Sahara issue opposing Morocco to the Polisario supported by Algeria.
This choice was confirmed this Thursday by the Spanish State Secretary in charge of Foreign Affairs, Conzlo de Benito, during a press conference taking place at the UN’s headquarters in New York, on the fringe of the meeting on alliance of civilizations, Benito has reiterated his government’s support to the on-going process of negotiations on the Sahara issue. It is in the interest of Spain that the concerned parties reach a negotiated solution, while assuring that his country did not change its position regarding this issue.
"There would be no change in the position of the Spanish government concerning the negotiations on the Sahara issue », has underlined the Spanish executive who has reitered, on this occasion, the support of his government to the mission of the UN Secretary General Personal Envoy for the Sahara, Christopher Ross.

The autonomy plan and the new Moroccan constitution are the concrete measures for a sustainable solution to the Western Sahara conflict, as revealed by the report of the American think tank Carnegie Endowment. The report has also called the different parties in the region to respond to the international wishes to reach a reasonable and realistic solution, recalling Javier Perez de Cuellar words “reasonable solution under which the Western Sahara would be integrated as an autonomous region in the Moroccan state would have spared many lives and a great deal of money.”
The courageous verdict of Peter Van Walsum has also been underlined in the report pointing out the Polisario political position, supported by Algeria as “an unrealistic option”.
Carnegie Endowment report has also criticized the position of the Polisario and Algeria who use the card of refugees in Tindouf to maintain the statu quo in the region, despite of the fact that the internal desertion of the Polisario leaders and “misery of the Tindouf camps would ultimately prompt Sahrawis to desert the Polisario and its corrupt rule”.
