Mostafa Salma Ould Sidi Mouloud, Inspector General of the Polisario police, who has formally declared his adherence to the Sahara Autonomy Plan, has just announced his decision to enter the Tindouf camps under Polisario authority on the Algerian territory.
The decision of the Polisario executive is worrying, especially that he intends to make campaign for the autonomy plan even inside Tindouf camps. Something which would not please to the Polisario and the Algerian military intelligence services (DRS) which are firmly holding control of the region.
Besides, Mostafa Salma Ould Sidi Mouloud has dreaded the danger of reprisals and got in touch with the Advisory Council on Human Rights (CCDH). The latter has called on the NGOs concerned with defending human rights, namely the national advisory committee for human rights in Algeria. The CCDH inclined them to act quickly so that Mostafa  Salma Ould Sidi Mouloud would be authorized to enter Tindouf without being worried because of his opinions.

South-Africa has been questioned once again by the Moroccan NGOs, on its position about the Western Sahara issue. A call launched to the South-African President, Jacob Zuma by the militants of the network of Sahrawis in Africa, to support the Moroccan autonomy proposal, inviting him to retire his country’s recognition of the pseudo “RASD”.
In a letter addressed to President Zuma through the Embassy of South Africa in Dakar, the signatories believe that Morocco has shown audacity and courage in addressing the Sahara issue. Its autonomy proposal has been welcomed by the international community which encourages the concerned parties to continue their negotiations to reach a realistic and fair solution in conformity with the resolutions of the UNO Security Council.
According to network managers, this initiative is a call to think reasonably in favour of a constructive dialogue about the Sahara conflict which handicap integration efforts at the African level.
The network of Sahrawis settled in Africa has been recently created in Dakar, in order to mobilize the Sahrawi diaspora established in different Sub-Saharan Africa countries in favour of the Moroccan proposition for autonomy, and to give evidence to the hosting countries of the Sahrawis’ attachment to this proposal.

Sahara : In Tindouf, the Autonomy Plan becomes imperative due to its relevance PDF Print E-mail

The Autonomy Plan for the Sahara proposed by Morocco, did not have the only effect of convincing a great number of Sahrawis in Tindouf, and even certain Polisario leaders, of its relevance, it has also accelerated withdrawing recognition of the imaginary Sahrawi Republic.
Thus, the countries which have recognized the RASD in the past, a theoretical republic marketed with petrodollars, by the Algerian diplomacy, have decided to put an end to imposture. Grenada, Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Kitts and Nevis and Saint-Lucie, four Caribbean States have recently withdrawn their recognition of the unconventional entity. They adopt, at present, the international community logic which prefers to give chances to the process of negotiations supervised by the UNO to reach a final settlement to the regional conflict about the Sahara. A process which has been launched, after years of deadlock, by the autonomy plan qualified by the Security Council of being “serious and credible”.
Encouraged by the example of the Caribbean countries, a group of Sahrawis settled in the Sub-Saharan Africa countries have sent letters to the Chief of State of the last African countries who have recognized the fictitious Sahrawi republic.

Sahara-Caribbean : 4 States withdraw their recognition of the imaginary SADR PDF Print E-mail

Four States from the Caribbean :  Grenada, Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Kitts and Nevis and Sainte-Lucie, have withdrawn their recognition of the imaginary Sahrawi Republic. A decision which says a lot about the erosion of an illusory project that only Algeria continues defending, come hell or high water.
The decision of the four Caribbean States to withdraw their recognition of an entity, which, all the same, does not exist in reality, is not an isolated case. It follows a similar decision taken by the Dominique in July 2010, and by some other states. They all came to know the hoax and recognized that they have been misled about the reality of the republic which exists only in the imagination of few separatists being manipulated by Algeria.
This point appears clearly in the official statement announcing recognition of the withdrawal, revealing that the decisions of the four Caribbean States follow clarifications made by Morocco on the reality of the Sahara issue.
Thus, the governments of these States prefer giving all chances to the process led under the aegis of the UNO to reach a negotiated political solution for the regional dispute over the Sahara. A process which has been launched by the Autonomy Plan proposed by Morocco and supported by the international community and the Security Council  considering the autonomy proposal as a “serious and credible” project.

Polisario : Leaders’ defection, a sign of obvious downfall PDF Print E-mail

The wave of the rallying Sahrawis who escape from Tindouf camps to join Morocco is still extending. At present, it is only young people and even executives, well placed in the Polisario hierarchy, who choose to join their country. This in itself says a lot about the so-called cohesion of the separatists. The most recent example is that of Mustapha Salma Ould Sidi Mouloud, General Inspector of “the Polisario police”, the militia in charge of hard jobs in Tindouf persecution camps. A task which it fulfils under the alert supervision of the awful element, the Algerian military intelligence services (DRS). The second example is Fateh Ahmed Ould Mohamed Fadel Ould Ali Salem, Chief of the Security of what is pompously called “the third military zone”, modelled on the Algerian mentor. Knowing perfectly well the arcane mysteries of the Polisario, the one and the other castigate the hidebound leadership of the separatist movement, denouncing the blind alignment with the Algerian generals’ hegemony objective. An alignment so ill-considered that ignores the interests of the Sahrawi people. Obliged to just manage to keep things going on in Tindouf devastation camps, thousands of Sahrawis find themselves there hostages of the sordid political calculations of the Algerian military intelligence services in the region.

Mohammed VI : « not even an inch of the Sahara will be granted » PDF Print E-mail

It is a categoric position on the Sahara issue declared by the Moroccan King Mohamed VI in his traditional speech made on the occasion of the throne day. By reaffirming with firmness his refusal to compromise on the territory integrity of the Cherifian Kingdom, Mohammed VI sent a clear reminder to Algeria regarding its responsibility in the deadlock of the situation : “this, while waiting that Algeria stops opposing the logic of History, geography, legitimacy and legality about the Moroccan Sahara issue, and that it renounces to its hopeless manoeuvres aiming vainly at derailing the dynamics set in motion by Our autonomy initiative for our Southern provinces.”
Concomitantly, we have to underline that President Bouteflika has addressed a message to the King Mohammed VI in which he maintained : “I want to reaffirm my firm determination to raise the bilateral relationships and to reinforce the brotherhood ties and good neighbouring”.
