Deaths in Western Sahara camp and Defenceless civilians
AND
"WE have never been close to war " POLISARIO said
At least 14 people have been killed and 279 injured and more than 159 missing ,in a raid by Moroccan forces on a protest camp in the disputed region of Western Sahara, sources on both rival sides have said.
this happened when Morocco sent paramilitary police and royal force to destroy the protest camp which had sprung up just outside the capital, Laayoune .
Several thousand people had joined the camp at Gadaym Izik - the largest protest in the three-decade dispute.
They are overtly demanding independence like Polisario ,
The security forces used water cannon and fire bombs to clear the protesters,
the Morocco suppose to be in real direct negotiation with the pilisario
in the US aimed at ending the conflict over the region. .however this has one meaning they are directly broking the ceasefire that was firmed in the end of 1991 ,The violence broke out just hours before United Nations-brokered talks were due to resume in the US, led by the latest UN envoy to the region, US diplomat Christopher Ross.
Negotiations have stalled for more than a decade, with a succession of UN envoys tasked with ending the dispute but moving on after failing to break the deadlock.Morocco have been refusing to offer anything for the region, while Polisario insists that full independence must be offered in a referendum.Morocco have been flooding the region with non-Sahrawis since they invade western Sahara , in order to dilute nationalist feeling and ensure that any vote rejects independence.
