This is not the first time that the Algerian soldiers have been accused of such crimes against Tindouf camp’s refugees. Over the past 5 years, no less than twenty Saharawi victims have been killed by the ANP.

This new incident may inflame the situation in the Tindouf camps, especially as the refugees are protesting against violation of the human rights.

In this regard, the international community is denouncing the repeated abuses committed by the Algerian army on the refugees in the Tindouf Camps. (PERSISMA/Red)
