Brahim Chagaf has come from the Dakhla refugee camp, Azman has returned from Spain to join the cause of the Saharawi people has come from Zocimacha Aiaún in Moroccan-controlled Western Sahara. From all sides, the Saharawi have wanted to celebrate the 35 th anniversary of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic in the hope that the winds of change blowing in the Arab world to bring more democracy and freedom in the region.
In the town of Tifariti, about 90 kilometers of the wall that separates the Sahara 'busy' in the liberated territories, the Polisario Front wanted to make a show of power in a military parade which involved hundreds of soldiers, but the has not been seen or a tank or military vehicle. The Saharan believe they can be benefiting from the riots in Arab countries and ensure that they were the first to step forward when they organized the camp of 'Gdeim Izik' last November, which was forcibly dismantled by the Army Moroccan.
"We were the first to start. The idea came from 'Gdeim Izik'. In 35 years of peace, we had a solution to the conflict. Now, I just think that with our weapons we can to regain our country," said Brahim, 22. It is not the only one who speaks of a return to arms. The word 'war' is repeated with force among young Saharawi, but seeing the lack of means with which their host sounds pretty unrealistic.
"We are not afraid to Morocco. War is the only salvation," says Azman, 20. "Live or die. Sahrawi no luck, querrillero to death," he shouts at his side one of his friends. The oldest attempt to calm things down, but do not hide the influence they are having riots in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya.
"Young people have other aspirations and are less patient than us," says Mohamed Lehbid, 35 years ago, after the Moroccan Green March, had to leave Laayoune and settle in Algeria. After the military parade, President of the Saharawi Republic, Moahmed Abdelaziz, urged the Spanish government to assume "their responsibilities to the Western Sahara" and asked him to "fulfill its duty and commitment in the desconolización unavoidable, so that our people to exercise their right to self determination.
" The Polisario Front's discontent with the government of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero is evident. In fact, the last meeting between the Saharawi and the Socialist Party was suspended because, according to Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mohamed Salem Ould Salek, the Socialists refused to explain the shift that has taken the Spanish government.
In an appearance, Salem Ould Salek described as "unacceptable" and "incomprehensible" that Spain has gone from supporting self-determination referendum for the Saharawi people to "defend Moroccan position." After 20 years waiting for a referendum is not held, the Sahrawi begin to lose hope, but hope that, as Ould Salek said, "Morocco draw lessons from what is happening in Egypt and Libya," and the stalemate in negotiations with the Frente Polisario to find a peaceful solution to the conflict in Western Sahara.
