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.

Former Polisario members who have returned to Morocco called on Algeria and Polisario to "enroll in the spirit of realism and compromise advocated by the international community" to find a settlement to the dispute over the Sahara issue.

In partnership with 11 local associations and the Section of Public Affairs of the Embassy of the United States, Misoc (Moroccan Internet Society) held in El-Aaiun, last May 24, a training day on behalf of 30 activists.
