Polisario officials are again involved in the embezzlement of the international aid initially intended for the Sahrawi population sequestered in the Tindouf camps. In May this year, Mauritanian customs seized a large load of food smuggled out from the Tindouf camps. The foodstuffs were part of the European Union’s donations to the Tindouf camps population. The new scandal confirms again, if need be, the various international reports that documented the diversion of international aid by Polisario leaders, in connivance with Algerian officials. However, as revealed by several reports, more than 90% of the aid granted to the Tindouf camps populations for humanitarian reasons is diverted.
