"The UN human rights monitors" Protest in the territory controlled by separatists
ELENA SEVILLANO - Tifariti - 26/10/2010
"First I felt a desire for revenge, but then I said I have a very powerful medium for us to listen, which is the art, with which we can reach more people and open doors that are closed to politics." A Moulud Yeslem, Saharawi painter 33 years, news of the death of his compatriot Nayem the Gareh, 14, shot and killed by Moroccan Gendarmerie camp Izik Agdaym surprised in Laayoune in Tifariti, a town on the other side of the wall that divides the Western Sahara over 2,700 km, planted with more than three million landmines and controlled by the Polisario Front. For the fourth consecutive year there are celebrated International Art Encounters in liberated territories of Western Sahara. It was the trigger for Moulud and other artists from 12 nationalities represented in Art Tifariti yesterday headed a protest march to the nearby headquarters of MINURSO, the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara.
The demonstration, the first that occurs before the UN representation in Tifariti, joined groups Sahrawi refugees in Tindouf camps (southwestern Algeria) and nomads living in the area. In total, more than 100 people departed from the town in a convoy of vehicles and then walked the final stretch, under a blazing sun, and chanting slogans such as "guilty Morocco, Spain responsible." "I would agree with the Moroccans to prevent further deaths, but if not possible, we must take up arms," cried a woman who had come from the Saharawi refugee camps to offer support to artists.
"It was a mixture of excitement and of mourning and pain," said a girl with red eyes. There was singing and some tears. And a shared sense among the Saharawi present that the peace process is dead. "90% of people are in favor of returning to take up arms, some participants commented on the protest. "The MINURSO has been here for 18 years to hold the referendum: 18 years of high level tourism. I do not do anything: it is the only UN mission that monitors the fulfillment of human rights, denounced Moulud, who was born in Auserd city, now occupied, and lives in the camp of the same name in the Algerian desert. "There's nothing there, and do not want that for my son two years," he added.
Edi Escobar, who accompanied the Haidar Sahrawi activist during his hunger strike in Lanzarote last year and is now responsible for Art Tifariti 2010, was responsible for delivering the head of the UN delegation in the city, Polish Piotr Wozniak, a letter with a picture of young Nayem the Gareh.
