The agency, specializing in the analysis of strategic issues, noted in an article by Argentinian expert Adalberto Carlos Agozino, that such embezzlement is not new since several international media have denounced for decades crimes against humanity linked to the systematic theft of humanitarian aid by the Polisario with the participation and complicity of the Algerian government.

Under the title "The rich business of humanitarian aid diversion", the Argentinian media wrote that "the procedure of embezzling humanitarian aid and its subsequent commercialization by the Polisario and Algerian officials has been implemented in a systematic and organized way, in a mafia-like manner for years", in order to seize the aid intended for the Moroccan population held captive, for more than forty years, in the camps of Tindouf, south of Algeria.

A large part of the cargo received at Rabouni ends up in clandestine warehouses which are also used to hide part of the goods taken from official warehouses in order to subsequently request additional aid from foreign donors, denounced the author of the article, recalling that Algeria and the Polisario prevent visits by officials of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and members of humanitarian NGOs which provide aid to the Tindouf camps.

These products, generally packaged and labeled as "non-marketable humanitarian aid", are then illegally sold, via international mafias which control illegal trafficking in the Sahel, on the informal markets of several African countries, noted the Argentinian media.

The diversion of humanitarian aid is possible because the administrators of the camps, that is to say the Polisario and the Algerian army, report an exaggerated number of inhabitants, much more than the real number to receive a bigger volume of products, said the Argentine news agency.

The polisario requests humanitarian aid for 170,000 alleged camp inhabitants, while independent observers ensure that the stable population there does not exceed 90,000 persons, noted the Argentine expert.

The illegal activities by the polisario and Algeria are "one of the main reasons why the Algerian government and the polisario systematically oppose the proposal to negotiate a status of autonomy for the region of the Sahara, presented by the Kingdom of Morocco as the only just and possible alternative for the resolution of this artificial conflict, it concluded.
