Major Event

 A dozen people, including babies and old persons, perished during their transfer from the Polisario-run Tindouf camps to the buffer zone of Tifarity.

The Algeria-backed "Polisario", which claims the separation of the Moroccan southern provinces, the Sahara, from the north African kingdom after the territory was retrieved from Spanish rule in 1975 - is holding on February 28 festivities in Tifariti, located in the buffer zone between southeastern Morocco and southwestern Algeria, to celebrate the self-proclamation of the so-called Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic "SADR".

 In the mid-Seventies the "Polisario" lured thousands of Sahrawis into the camps of Tindouf, southwestern Algeria, keeping them hostage there and preventing them from going back to their homes in the Moroccan southern provinces.

These incidents "occurred during the latest five days due to the transfer conditions: slow vans packed with people through the 400 kilometers that separate Tindouf from the buffer zone of Tifarity," noted the Moroccan dailies on Monday, citing reliable sources.

The press also cited the Moroccan Sahara Association (ASM), as saying that “the number of Polisario victims could increase regarding the housing conditions that Polsario has set up to host the thousands of displaced people,” adding that these people “are obliged to shelter under tents and they force themselves to a very basic food system.”

“As sandstorms ravage this region, Polisario festivities may turn into a real human tragedy,” noted the same source.

The dailies, which recalled that Polisario’s presence in the buffer zone consists a violation to the 1991 UN-brokered ceasefire, underlined that Algeria, which seeks to exaggerate the number of the participants in these festivities, “pull out all the stops” through funding the transfer of foreign delegations towards Tindouf.
