If the Moroccan government sought to end the protests with the assault on the camp Agdaym Izik, all he has achieved has been given letter of nature to a new leadership Saharawi and start a spiral of violence troubling outcome, as shown by the severe riots have erupted in Laayoune, with a still unknown number of victims.

Failure to reach a solution after the Spanish colonization precipitated has resulted in a serious deterioration of living conditions in the former colony, which has also begun to pay a cost the Polisario. The alternative leadership that has emerged from this malaise has preferred the claims of social improvement to independence. This is surely a tactical option, as fears Morocco. But in any case, puts the government in Rabat with a stark choice: the more you suppress the current protests, and yesterday in Laayoune reach a dangerous level of gravity, encourage the independence movement, since it is no longer only associated with abstract national aspiration that embodies the Polisario, but also a concrete desire to improve the living conditions of the Sahrawi.
The assault on the camp was the last error in Morocco, but not the only one since the protests began. The death of Saharawi teenager in the early days can not go unanswered by Rabat, which is obliged, at least to open an investigation, debugging and security responsibilities that apply. Instead, he has attacked the press and spread canards about the alleged death of a protester in clashes with Spanish police in Melilla. With these initiatives, the Moroccan Executive demonstrates something more serious than simple stupidity, shows that the rotation has not understood that the protests in Izik Agdaym camp could prove contentious in the development of the Sahara.
The international community, and also the EU and the Spanish Government, are being held in a more discreet background to avoid any friction with Morocco in an area of particular sensitivity. It is a position that favors stability in the area, because what is at stake is the international capacity to maintain a single standard on human rights or lease, however, the temptation of double standards. For now, the latter seems to be the option that is emerging. Morocco is a decisive country in the Maghreb, precisely because it can not act so that our friends and allies must call into question the principles they advocate.
The dispute over the Sahara could be entering a new cycle to be configuring a new leadership with unprecedented demands. Or Rabat or the international community, nor the Polisario should enter it from questionable attitudes.
