Morocco's ambassador to the UN Geneva office, Mohammed Loulichki, insisted that the population in the Tindouf camps (southwestern Algeria) is indeed held, by Polisario, against its will.

Morocco cannot keep silent about the precarious and inhuman conditions in which scores of Moroccan Sahrawis, held against their will in the Polisario-run Tindouf camps, southwest Algeria, are kept, a situation that compels a good number of them to defy all dangers to return home, Visiting Minister of Justice Abdelouahed Radi said on Monday.

The return to Morocco of a hundred Sahrawis, who participated last December in Gjijimat congress near Tifariti, is a logical consequence of a long dissidence process within Polisario since its creation and glimmer of hope prompted by the Moroccan autonomy initiative among the sequestered people in the Tindouf camps. 

El Karkrat (380 south of Dakhla- Aousserd), Feb.27 - Nearly 100 Moroccan Sahrawis, including 20 children, have returned to Morocco over the last 24 hours.
