Since the beginning of august the leadership of Polisario decided to deprive the inhabitants of Tindouf camps of Algerian passports, and necessary visas to travel abroad. (It is worth mentioning that these documents are delivered through the Polisario leadership)

Mauritanian President, Sidi Mohamed Ould Cheikh Abdellahi, has called for a consensus-based solution to the Sahara dispute opposing Morocco to the Algerian-backed separatist movement "Polisario".

Since the beginning of this summer, it has been noticed that the supply of water for the retained sahraouis forbidden to join their homeland in the camps of: laayoune, Smara, Ausserd, Dakhla, and twenty seven, situated in the outskirt of Tindouf is done, for the first time by the Algerian army tanks instead of tanks given by humanitarian organizations to the Polisario front.

The Moroccan initiative for autonomy for the Sahara region is a consensual political solution which takes into consideration positions of all parties, after the apparent failure of previous attempts for a settlement of this conflict. These attempts which proved to be inapplicable, affirmed Mr Khalihenna ould Errachid chairman of the royal advisory council for Saharan affairs (CORCAS).

The United States on Monday said it was "pleased" that Morocco and the Algerian-backed separatists movement "Polisario" met again in attempt to reach a final solution to the 32-year-old dispute over the Sahara, insisting that a "meaningful autonomy is promising and realistic way forward."
