The UN special envoy say that the situation in Western Sahar

THOUSANDS OF SAHRAWI CAMPED IN THE OUTSKIRTS OF LAAYOUNE RESIST THE SIEGE OF THE POLICE AND THE LACK OF WATER AND FOOD

The UN special envoy say that the situation in Western Sahara is "untenable"

LAURA GALLEGO

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria18/10/2010SEND TO A FRIENDPRINTCORRECT THIS NEWCOMMENT"If there is something Saharawi do not miss, that is imagination." A statement coming from the Ministry of the Polisario Front in charge of the occupied territories and of the camping that some 10,000 Sahrawis started on the outskirts of Laayoune a week ago. Encircled and besieged by police and soldiers yesterday, a Moroccan representative met with the organizers to try to dissolve this new form of protest. But it fell on deaf ears. They only talk about independence. And specially now that the United Nations special envoy, Christopher Ross, is in the area. Today, in Algiers, he has already predicted that maintaining the current impasse in the Western Sahara is "untenable."

KaartSatellietBeideHundreds of tents in the desert, 18 kilometers from the city of Laayoune. They began to settle last week to the embarrassment of the Moroccan police, and when they wanted to react, thousands of Sahrawis had already concentrated there. Those who arrive without a roof of their own will end under that of someone else. Entire families.

On the beach of the city and some other places like Boujdour, similar attempts have been "brutally dissolved", according to the information provided by the Polisario Front. But not this first settlement, where the surprise factor played again in their favor. They are now surrounded by police and military preventing, activists denounce from within, not only the arrival of more Sahrawis, but the entry of food, water or medicines. They have been doing that for 4 days now. In fact, some sick people are being moved, due to the absence of treatments like insulin.

Meanwhile, they tell us, activists are trying to explore another route, a more dangerous one and usually traveled by smugglers to obtain food. Everything before surrendering because, they say in a state of euphoria,this is the first time since the last intifada in 2005 that they have mobilized such a number of important citizens. A number, they say, of at least 8,000 people, although it is difficult to estimate accurately . Yesterday, when two Moroccan army generals met with the organizing committee of the camp to propose that a delegation traveled to Rabat to negotiate its dissolution, they received a resounding negative. They say that they only negotiate talks to address independence with the Polisario Front. While that does not happen, they do not move from there.

The intent of this protest is, as its spokesmen say is "to denounce the marginalization of Sahrawi, settlers benefit from the exploitation of our natural resources while we are second class citizens, repudiated even in the documents." They refer with this last statement, to the letters SH accompanying the passport of any Sahrawi, allowing the administration to distinguish them without looking up from it.

They also denounce labor discrimination, the lack of health care and human rights violations. Everything they do not want the personal envoy of the UN Secretary General, Christopher Ross, to overlook. Ross landed in Algiers on Sunday and will visit in coming days the Sahrawi refugee camps of Tindouf, where he will meet with the leader of the Polisario Front, and later travel to Mauritania, and finally to Rabat.



For now, Ross has already stated that "the 'statu quo' in the Western Sahara is untenable in the long term" and has called on the parties to "show proof of their political goodwill necessary to overcome" it.

After meeting with Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, the American diplomat clarified that the unsustainability of this "statu quo" is based "on the costs it can have and the dangers it can pose." "The purpose of this visit, the fourth after my nomination, is to unlock the necessary contacts in the negotiations between the Polisario Front and Morocco in cooperation with the States of the region," said Ross. The very purpose of the two informal meetings organized between the parties since his nomination that have not yielded any results. Today, Ross stressed that both parties must demonstrate political will to overcome the current situation and "get without preconditions and negotiate in good faith to reach a just, lasting and mutually acceptable solution leading to the determination of the people of Western Sahara ".

For his part, the President of the SADR, Mohamed Abdelaziz, in a letter to the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has called for protection for citizens in camps. The organizers hope that, in the presence of Ross, no slaughter is carried out. In addition, the best known activists and those more uncomfortable for Moroco have refrained from participating, to let the public at large assume that role. "And to avoid further temptations of an attack."
