The Malian newspaper “L'aube” (Independent) which devoted its last issue to the case of the abduction that took place in the Polisario camp said that "the abduction was done by members from Polisario who have benefited from complicity to act and who intend to monetize the three hostages to AQIM. "

Morocco, which presented an autonomy plan to settle the Sahara issue under its sovereignty, was reinforced in its position following the recent developments in the North African region, says the British think-tank the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU).

According to an Italian newspaper, the leader of the kidnappers is a former Polisario member

The kidnappers, European nationals "certainly knew the situation in the camp (where the kidnapping took place) and acted, certainly, without fearing the reaction of the Polisario guards or possible chase in the desert," said the Italian daily "l'Unione Sarda"in an article on the issue.

The abduction last Sunday of three European aid workers in Tindouf is a "strong signal" to the international community about the "urgency" to find a definitive solution to the Sahara issue, says U.S. NGO Teach the Children International, in a statement issued Wednesday night in Washington.
