Italy's Foreign Minister, Franco Frattini, described, on Wednesday, Morocco's autonomy initiative as "important".

A group of 57 Sahrawis joined their homeland, Morocco, after escaping the camps of Tindouf (southwestern Algeria).

Morocco closely follows the case of the senior polisario official, Mustapha Selma Ould Sidi Mouloud, who may face acts of retaliation by the polisario leadership when he returns to the Tindouf camps (south-western Algeria), said, on Thursday, Khalid Naciri Communication Minister and Government Spokesman.

 Spanish journalist and writer Chema Gil, who is well-informed about the Sahara dispute, has published an article entitled "War or Peace: the deception of the Polisario front", in which he laid bare the separatists' imposture.

The Moroccan Advisory Council on Human Rights (CCDH) urged, on Tuesday, all the national and international human rights organizations to do their best so that the senior polisario official, Mostafa Salma Sidi Mouloud, can return to Tindouf (south-western Algeria) safe and sound and defend his opinions freely.
