Algerian army has shot dead a Sahraoui as he unknowingly attempted to leave the Polisario-administered Tindouf camps on board his car. The Algerian army fired at the car without warning outside the so-called camp of Laayoune where Algeria has relegated the destiny of thousands of Sahraouis to the mercy of a separatist militias that trades in their suffering. As soon as he left the camp, he and his friend Ahmed Lebouiya, were shot by the Algerian army. Morocco has on multiple occasions called on Algeria to enable a census of the population held with a firm grip within the Polisario camps. The decision was taken following a report by the EU anti-fraud office (OLAF) denouncing the embezzlement of humanitarian aid by the Polisario leadership and Algerian officials.
