After the many diplomatic setbacks it suffered abroad, the Algeria-backed Polisario separatist front is currently facing a growing internal dissent. The twelve “repentant” separatists were allowed access to the national territory where they are being cared for in line with the usual procedures, the website said. Parallel to the general situation of unrest in Algeria, with the continuous demonstrations against Bouteflika and his clan, a climate of uncertainty is prevailing in the Tindouf camps too. The revenant of last week had said there are still other repentant separatists who want to return to their country. Over the years, many senior executives of the Polisario have returned to their native land after they realized that the separatist front is fooling them with independence dreams that will never come true.
