A Spanish media report mentioned that the separatist Polisario Front has allegedly kidnapped a young girl in the Tindouf camp after she arrived to visit her family in Spain. They reportedly burned her documents, including her passport, in a new crime added to the separatists’ record of being accused of committing crimes against humanity.
According to the Spanish website “Más Información,” the girl named Falah (18 years old) works for the Spanish food delivery company “Boutikón.” About a month ago, she contacted a person named Hamada Saleh Mouloud and asked him to help her leave her confinement. Hamada returned to Malaga, Spain, where he lives, on December 10 and spoke with her Spanish family.
Hamada agreed that the Spanish family would pay for the girl’s documents, which meant bypassing the Algerian military police in Tindouf. This safe behavior would enable her to cross the Sahara through Algeria, with a cost of 2500 euros.
“Más Información” added that using this safe conduct, Polisario exploited Falah, who is 18 years old (the age of majority in Spain), during a wedding celebration. They took her out, smuggled her into a Boutikón car, kidnapped her, and took her to Oran, Algeria.
According to the same source, the girl is currently in Oran, in a safe house, not in the consulate. A Spanish lawyer is expected to arrive to file a petition for her release to Spain since, according to Algerian authorities, she is still considered a minor, as the age of majority in Algeria is 19 years old.
Meanwhile, Polisario, its members, and the girl’s relative, Gira Blahi, threatened the partners of Boutikón, Governor Salem Doh, and Hamada Saleh Mouloud with killing their families in the camps as revenge for their participation in “protests” against the abduction of women in the camps.
The Spanish website stated in its report that this conduct is a new example of the terrorism and tyranny imposed by the armed Polisario Front and the genocide in the Tindouf camps, which has become a real business unit for its leaders, while the kidnapped residents remain in extreme poverty.
The residents of the Tindouf camps have been living in harsh conditions of poverty, hunger, confinement, torture, and intimidation imposed by the Polisario Front under the supervision of Algeria since the beginning of the fabricated conflict in the Western Sahara to this day. They have found themselves tools and hostages in the hands of the Algerian military to convey preconceived ideas that are disconnected from reality.
This kidnapping incident is not the first of its kind committed by the Polisario Front. Over the past four decades, they have executed numerous crimes, including extrajudicial killings, kidnappings, forced disappearances, arbitrary detention, torture, intimidation, harsh and abusive treatment.
