Morocco has successfully convinced African states to prioritize the protection of refugees and internally displaced persons from atrocities committed by armed and terrorist groups. Rabat’s call for a refugee census has also gained the support of the African Union—two clear messages directed at the Polisario and Algeria.
Algeria and the Polisario use the residents of the Tindouf camps as a bargaining chip in front of the international community. Despite UN demands for a census, Algeria categorically refuses and provides conflicting figures. Credible reports suggest that many residents of the Tindouf camps are from Algeria, Mauritania, and the Sahel, with no direct connection to Western Sahara.
From November to December 2022, the High Commission for Planning (HCP) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) jointly conducted a study on the socioeconomic situation of refugees in Morocco, based on a sample of 600 refugee households. The study, published a year and a half later, provides an overview of their living conditions, economic integration, access to social services, and daily challenges.
