A new Spanish book issued last September reveals gross violations of human rights in the Tindouf refugee camp, in which writer and journalist Reyes Monforte strongly criticizes Polisario leadership and Algeria.

The annual report on terrorism by the Japanese Ministry of Justice issued recently placed Polisario movement Tindouf camps in southern Algeria among more than 40 terrorist organizations in the African continent.

Elected officials and sheikhs of the Smara Sahrawi tribes reaffirmed Sunday at a meeting with the Personal Envoy of the UN Secretary General, Christopher Ross, that Morocco’s autonomy plan is the only appropriate solution to the Sahara issue.
