Autonomy, solution of the Sahara dispute, taking into account the human dimension

09-23-2011 Participants in a meeting organized on Thursday by  the UN  Human rights council ,where the  royal consultative council for Saharan affairs was represented by Mr. Ahmed M’ghizlat have considered that the autonomy project offers a fitting solution to solve the Sahara dispute, and put an end to the human tragedy, and the refusal of the rights of populations sequestered in Tindouf camps

During this meeting, which took place at the UN palace under the theme  of “ the human dimension in the resolution of conflicts”  interveners have mentioned the inhuman conditions which  prevailed  in Tindouf camps over the last 30 years.

They have stigmatized, in addition to deplorable social conditions, the deterioration of human rights in Tindouf camps where the populations are deprived of the basic rights, particularly women and children who bear the separation because of Polisario’s practices.
 
These populations are also deprived of freedom of expression, have added the interveners, denouncing the young sahraoui’s frustrations, who are inspired by the Arab autumn, and cannot expressed their political ideas, or at least their social grievances. They have also mentioned the treatment of which Mustapha salama ould sidi Mouloud is receiving from Polisario, because of his displayed adhesion to the autonomy proposal
 
Interveners have attributed the responsibility of this situation to Algeria, being the country which receives the sequestered populations, cannot hide its duty to protect them. They are considered as illegal, because Algiers gives this responsibility to a separatist movement which acts severely in its territory. Algeria assumes the entire responsibility of the tragedy taken place in Tindouf camps, and consequently has the obligation and the responsibility to make sure that human rights principles is respected.
 
Interveners have later on developed the autonomy project proposed by Morocco, to put an end to the Sahara conflict, seen as the only proposal on the table before the uncompromising of the Polisario which cleave to unrealistic theses.  Autonomy constitutes a solution to the Moroccan Sahara affair, and a guarantee to consolidate modern and democratic Morocco where its populations will be able to live with dignity, and enjoy their political and social rights, they have asserted.
 
They have added that the human dimension in the autonomy initiative concerning the southern provinces, is basically manifested, in addition to the fact that it put an end to the human tragedy in the Polisario camps, in the participation approach practiced by the state of Morocco while elaborating this project .
 
Interveners have equally condemned the diversion of Humanitarian aids indented to the populations of these camps, and instead of minimizing their sufferings, they are sold off in the local markets, in Algeria and Mauritania by the Polisario militia.

In addition the representative of Corcas, a number of interveners have participated in this meeting organized by the international agency for development , Dr Lahcen haddad , academic , Mrs. Mroue  Rowaida , chairwoman of the international network of support of the autonomy project , Mr. Maurice Katala , president of the international action for peace and development in the region of Grands lacs-AIPD, and Mr hamdi Cherifi , of the NGO “ ALintimae for the development and human rights and cohabitation “in Laayoune
