The Algerian state must be held responsible for human rights breaches in the Polisario-run camps of Tindouf, and should, therefore, compensate the victims, said, here Thursday, NGO "Association sahraouie de défense des droits de l'homme" (ASADEDH).

The Polisario is leading a wide repression campaign under the supervision of the Algerian police, against Sahrawi tribes, some members of which have broken off with the Polisario separatists, and held in Gjijimat, in the Tifariti buffer zone, a meeting to protest the so-called Congress of the separatists, French-speaking daily, "Aujourd'hui le Maroc" reported on Wednesday.

Two Moroccan Sahrawis have recently managed to flee the Polisario-run Tindouf camps, southwestern Algeria, and join motherland Morocco.

The voices raised in Gjijimat Congress, held during the "Polisario" congress by Chioukhs and chiefs of Saharan tribes, are those who "suffer the most in the Tindouf camps," writes "Al Hayat" newspaper. 

The chairman of the Royal Advisory Council for Saharan Affairs (CORCAS), Mr. Khalli Henna Ould Errachid said on Tuesday that parties within Polisario have reached a level of maturity and will work for the adoption of autonomy proposed by Morocco, as requested by the majority of Sahrawis. In a statement to the MAP on the sidelines of the CORCAS second regular session in Smara, Mr. Ould Errachid said that participants in the Gjijimat Congress near Tifarity, including some people who now belong to Polisario Front, called for adherence to the autonomy initiative.
