The Saharan starring in their biggest protest since leaving SpainSome 5,500 people improvised a camp in the desert to work and housing demand
Ignacio Cembrero - Madrid - 18/10/2010
The Saharan starring in their biggest protest since 35 years ago, Spain to Morocco in 1975 gave the colony of Western Sahara, but this does not have any connotation of independence or she exhibit symbols related with the Polisario Front. His claim is, for now, only social.
Although the concentration timidly began about ten days ago, last weekend reached its peak when demonstrators improvised camp over a thousand tents (nomadic tents) Izik Agdaym baptized in the desert, 15 kilometers from the Laayoune.
There remain some 5,500 people gathered, according to independent sources, 7,500 people, according to the Polisario Front, and about 2,000, according to unofficial sources Moroccans. The first figure represents the eighth of the Saharawi vote counted by the UN in the Sahara under Moroccan control.
"His claim is socioeconomic," said the Djimi Ghalia, a fighter for independence as almost all supporters of self-determination has failed to join the camp. "On the number of participants is the biggest protest since the end of Spain's territory," he adds.
"They ask for work and go home and require a solvent partner to negotiate with them," he said by telephone Eddah Larhdaf, director of the local television of the Sahara.
Protesters have posted several videos on YouTube in which, especially women, express their demands. They also reported "theft of resources by the Moroccan Sahara" when they "belong to the Sahrawi." Lash out against the treaty on fisheries between the EU and Morocco, which includes waters of the former Spanish colony.
The camp is surrounded by Moroccan security forces, especially the Gendarmerie, and also frequently flies a helicopter, but these do not prevent the Saharawi enter or leave at night to sleep in their homes but sometimes hinder the supply of concentrates on food and water. With discretion, the Moroccan authorities have asked the protesters to dismantle them and, if they refuse the "advice" they would take care of it.
The Polisario trying to capitalize on the protest. "A potential humanitarian tragedy looming unless UN (...) to take action and protect the lives of thousands of people who have camped in the desert," said Ahmed Bukhari, United Nations Representative of the independence movement in a letter sent yesterday to the Security Council of the UN.
The protest reached its peak coinciding with the start of a tour of the Maghreb by Christopher Ross, the personal envoy for Western Sahara of the UN secretary general. In concluding his visa to Algiers Ross said: "maintaining the status quo in Western Sahara today is not sustainable in the long term.
