Since the beginning of this summer, it has been noticed that the supply of water for the retained sahraouis forbidden to join their homeland in the camps of: laayoune, Smara, Ausserd, Dakhla, and twenty seven, situated in the outskirt of Tindouf is done, for the first time by the Algerian army tanks instead of tanks given by humanitarian organizations to the Polisario front.
Our sources confirmed that the intervention of the Algerian army came as a result to the fact that some of the Polisario leaders are selling water to the inhabitants of the camps, asking for 200 Algerian dinars (2 euros) for each five cubic metres.
This situation led, since the beginning of summer time, the Algerian army to directly distribute water in order to avoid any uprising against the polsario front.
It is notable that the Algerian army called up 27 tankers for this operation 27 , each one for one district twice a day (morning and afternoon); knowing that the five camps of retained sahraouis are divided into 27 districts.
This phenomenon shows clearly the Polisario’constant use of the camps for business and trade purposes, even if it deals with vital matters such as water in the heart of summer time.
This behaviour reflects in no doubt the failure of the Polsario front and its leadership.
