The Saharawi living in the former Spanish colony enjoy a better standard of living as refugees in the camps of Tindouf (southwestern Algeria) and even many Moroccan nationals. Still claim and, after two weeks, the protest claimed yesterday one person dead and three others wounded. Are hospitalized, one in critical condition.
Nayem the Gareh, 14, was shot dead by Moroccan Gendarmerie camp gates Agdaym Izik when the jeep in which he was traveling missed, along with another vehicle, a control. Government spokesman, Khaled Naciri, Ahmed has said that Daudi, a common criminal, fired from the SUV against the security forces, in self-defense, used their weapons. On board the vehicle was found "an arsenal of weapons."
Daudi, who has a criminal record, had been expelled from the camp a few days ago in tents (nomad tents), yet its residents rejected the official version of the incident. They recognize that cars did not stop at the control, "but at no time were fired from them", says the phone a girl who claims to have been an eyewitness. "Instead of shooting the wheels are pulled to give," he concludes.
The incident occurred when Christopher Ross, the personal envoy of UN Secretary General for the Sahara, with dinner starting his official visit to Rabat, the last stage of a regional tour before resuming in early November in New York, of negotiations between Morocco and the Frente Polisario.
It is expensive Sahara the Moroccan state and not just because it maintains about 150,000 troops there, but because it builds infrastructure and provides its residents generous social benefits. Until they are hired as civil servants to be paid a salary without just go to your job. Fuad Abdelmouni Moroccan economist believes that the Sahara is a burden for Morocco. If you do not devote 3% of GDP, the kingdom had reached the level of development in Colombia, but because of the Sahara, must comply with the lowest per capita income of small Maghreb.
The Saharawi protests that began on Oct. 9 a handful of tents erected on the outskirts of Laayoune claimed, apparently, only social improvements. Agdaym spontaneous camping Izik, involving between 10,000 and 15,000 Sahrawi has carefully avoided throwing proclamations of independence. The advocates of independence have been relegated. They are young strangers who call the shots.
Thanks to the low profile, bystanders gathered have been spared the Moroccan repression. Even today the government in Rabat has been highlighted by the mouth of his spokesman, that protest is a "purely social" unrelated to the conflict with the Polisario, which it accuses of wanting to capitalize. What happens is, he says, something normal in a democracy "as the Moroccans.
Behind the veneer of social emerges, however, a claim that transcends. Those from the camp are expressed before the cameras that record the videos posted on Youtube then denounce the "plundering of the riches of the Sahara", starting with fishing, "by the State" Moroccan. Even some talk of "occupation" of Morocco, but nobody dares to ask for self-determination.
Judging by telephone conversations with some of the campers this is, however, the aspiration that underlies widely after the protest. "But if we start something we can not say it openly," says a young man who says he chaired the committee that he met with three senior envoys from Rabat to talk to the campers.
