Sahrawis are nomad people. They originate from southern Moroccohttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇲🇦" title="Flagge von Marokko" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Marokko">
After Spanish settlers left in 1975, an armed conflict ensued and some Sahrawis ended up in Tindouf.
Since then Tindouf is a refugee camp that has become in fact a prison in the middle of the Saharan desert.

Sahrawis are deprived of many fundamental rights. Past cases have shown that they are :
- Killed if they decide to leave the camps
- Tortured when trying to protest
- Prohibited to join their relatives in Morocco.

Polisario and Algeria have built a sand wall strewn with land mines to prevent anyone to flee.
This breaches the Ottawa treaty which Algeria ratified. It forbids the use of land mines.
Sahrawis fleeing to Mauritania have also been intercepted and killed by Algerian soldiers.

This corruption scheme leaves Sahrawis with no supplies to survive.
The distress of Sahrawis has alerted European MPs such as Ilhan Kyuchyuk.
He has called the EU to monitor this aid and investigate as to how Polisario has funded its purchase of heavy military equipment.

Sahrawis benefit from no professional opportunities or freedom to start a business.
They are intentionally kept dependent on the scarce humanitarian supplies.
This allows the Algerian Army and Polisario members to enrich themselves by embezzling humanitarian aid.

Below you will find the testimony of an ex-judge of the Polisario.
He details the rampant corruption around humanitarian aid and enrichment on the backs of the Sahrawi refugees.
He also affirms that justice is arbitrary and used to further oppress Sahrawi refugees.
