He added that the situation in the camps “is heart-breaking due to the upsurge of extortion and exploitation acts committed by members of the Polisario, and parasitical dealers belonging to the leadership of the Polisario front, this phenomenon can be particularly seen in terms of food aids such as milk for children, supplied by a number of humanitarian organizations . This vein becomes a source of enrichment for those dealers, specifies Mr Ould Sidi Lagouini.
