The Polisario Front announced on Monday the arrest of 19 Moroccans for smuggling and drug trafficking. Through its media outlets, the separatist movement is trying to draw attention away from the drug trafficking war that broke off earlier this month between Brahim Ghali and Mohamed Lamine Ould El Bouhali‘s gangs.
Tindouf camps are now under the control of drug trafficking groups. Two gangs engaged in a gunfight on Wednesday and people were taken hostage.
