The Moroccan autonomy proposal for the Sahara is "immensely generous" and is "the best possible decision", said on Thursday in Rabat, the Chairman of the Professional Chamber of mediation and Negotiation (CPMN - France), M . Jean-Louis Lascoux.

The U.S. daily "New York Times" published Wednesday an article recounting "the harsh living conditions'' in the Polisario camps in Tindouf, south-west Algeria. 

The Moroccan autonomy proposal in the southern provinces is "constructive" and "likely to bring a solution to the Sahara conflict," said Iranian ambassador to Morocco, Mr. Wahid Ahmadi, stressing that his country's position regarding the dispute "has not changed since Iran has froze all its relations with Polisario 17 years ago".

A Sahrawi Family, which benefited from the 17th exchange family visit organized in 2008 from and to the southern city of Laayoune, decided not to return to the Camps of Tindouf (Southwest Algeria), to settle once and for good in Morocco.

 Amnesty International (AI) has voiced concern about restrictions on freedom of circulation and impunity prevailing in Tindouf camps, southwestern Algeria.
