The international association “Almohagir”, settling in Europe and present in ten European countries, with an association basket gathering over 60 active associations, has recently launched, an international call in favor of the Sahrawi children sequestered in Tindouf camps, Algeria.
The international Call entitled « no to oblivion and indifference!” has been spred in the local press of different European countries and in the websites of the international association “Almohagir” and affiliated associations, as well as in those of the NGOs and associations working in the human and mainly child rights field. It has also been sent to different international institutions in charge of child and human rights protection throughout the world, to the media and to NGOs representing the national public opinions.
The Call follows other similar calls launched by other human rights and child rights NGO urging the international community, the HCR, the Red Cross and other human rights bodies and leagues to act jointly to end up the agony of innocent children, retained by force in the Polisario camps in Tindouf. The tragedy also touches their families sequestered by the armed militia of the Polisario and the Algerian Military Security, who do not benefit like the rest of the population in camps, from the “refugee” status, which gives right to its benefactor to freely move from one territory to another.   


Hence, Morocco jointly with the nations longing for justice and freedom, persistently asks for concrete measures from the UNO and the Security Council so that the Polisario camps would be disarmed and placed under the authority of the HCR, this way, the families and persons living there, often by force, would freely move and willingly choose to stay in camps, to return back to Morocco or to go to a third country. The population’s wish, freely expressed, is to be respected, besides the UNO guarantee.
It is certain that if we precisely respect the populations’ wish, in the absence of any military or police constraint, beyond any tribal or clan blackmail, there will not be a big number of persons in camps and the latter will loose their function and role, of  rebellion and blackmail shelter and the Polisario will loose at the same time its raison d’être !
