A delegation of Moroccan Sahrawis representing civil society delivered this weekend in Bergamo (Northern Italy), poignant testimony about the reality of the so-called issue of the Sahara and the atrocities committed by Polisario against anyone who tries to thwart their nefarious objectives or claim the most elementary rights.

The Peace Caravan supporting autonomy project in the Sahara, which came from Brussels to Lagouira, stopped Thursday night in Laayoune, with the aim to sensitize international public opinion on the credibility of the autonomy plan in the Sahara and the Moroccanity of the Southern Provinces.

The autonomy of the southern provinces proposed by Morocco is "an advanced form of self-determination in the 21st century ", and the only "serious and credible" way to end the Sahara conflict, said Moulay Ahmed M’Ghizlat and Miss Maoulainine Saadani, members of the Royal Advisory Council for Saharan Affairs (CORCAS). 

The appalling situation endured by women in the Polisario-run camps in Tindouf (south-west of Algeria) was highlighted at a conference in Geneva.

Morocco's ambassador and permanent representative to the United Nations Office in Geneva, Mr. Omar Hilale said Tuesday that Algiers uses its voice and diplomacy against Morocco, denouncing the Algeria’s obsession on the principle of self-determination when it comes to the question of the Sahara and its claims on alleged violations of human rights in the Moroccan Sahara.
