A few weeks before the adoption of a new resolution, extending the mandate of the MINURSO, the United States warns Morocco and the Front against the situation in the Sahara.
A few years ago, the Polisario, headed at the time by Mohamed Abdelaziz, dreamed of creating a Gendarmerie unit. Currently, members of this body protest against their working conditions.
Human Rights Watch has sent two of its Moroccan members to Laayoune. Surprisingly, the mission did not receive the support of all human rights activists in the city.
In the next twenty-four hours the United States will host two forums on the Sahara. The first event is initiated by an American university lecturer close to Morocco while the other one is conducted by a supporter of Algeria and the Polisario.
