The European Union (EU) welcomed on Tuesday the role of the National Council for Human Rights (CNDH) in surveillance and defense of human rights in the Sahara.

Discontent prevailing in the camps of Tindouf, south of Algeria, opens the door to the radicalization of the young population which might facilitate its integration in jihadist groups, said Spanish Think tank Elcano Royal Institute.
