Forty-nine Sahrawis arrived during the last two days in the area of Oued Eddahab-Lagouira, from Tindouf camps (Algerian territory) which they fled to join the motherland, Morocco.

Polisario's security forces launched a wave of arrests against the Sahrawis held against their will in Tindouf camps, south-western Algeria, Laayoune's regional TV reported on Thursday.

The stalemate in the Sahara conflict and the absence of prospects for solving it have considerably increased the vulnerability of the Polisario Front and greatly reduced the legitimacy of the leadership of the movement, the Brussels-based European Strategic Intelligence & Security Center (ESISC) said in a report released on Tuesday.

Hundreds of Moroccans demonstrated Thursday outside the headquarters of the European Parliament in Strasbourg (eastern France), expressing their "unconditional support" and "full adherence" to the autonomy plan proposed by Morocco as a solution to the artificial Sahara conflict.

A Coordination of Andalusian Moroccans to defend the national cause was created Wednesday at Seville (southern Spain), according to its promoters.
