Addressing the UN fourth committee convening in New York, Ms. Amanda DiCianni, from NGO Rescue and Relief International, sounded the alarm over the military training of children in the Tindouf camps by Polisario militiamen. She deplored the deteriorating living conditions in the camps infested with gang violence, insecurity, corruption, and criminal activities of Polisario. Ms. Vivian Eads, Capitol Hill Prayer Partners, advocating for a peaceful resolution to the Sahara issue, said that young people in the Tindouf camps face limited opportunities for their future. After highlighting the recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over the entire Sahara territory by several Member States, she urged the United Nations to adopt the Morocco Autonomy Plan for the Sahara, saying this plan is conducive to peace and stability in the region. While Morocco is seeking peace, the others are sowing divisions, she said praising Morocco’s pragmatic autonomy plan offering enduring stability and shared prosperity.
