Nouakchott – According to the Maghreb Arab Press news agency, the Sahrawi activist Mustapha Salma Ould Sidi Mouloud said that he will not put an end to his sit-in, which started last week before the headquarters of the High Commissioner for Refugees in Nouakchott, “until he receives a clear and convincing answer on the location of the so-called RASD, as long as he carries its identity papers and he is denied access.”
In an interview published in the Mauritanian newspaper “Al Ikhbari“, Ould Sidi Mouloud said he has no document allowing him to travel. He also noted that he is a simple refugee in Mauritania and could not return to this country once he leaves it.
He went on to say that he would like to be briefed by the UNHCR on the location of this republic.
Despite the suffering he is enduring in the sit-in, Ould Salma said he is confident and determined to continue his fight until he manages to join his family and relatives.
In April 2010, Mustapha Salma visited the southern city of Smara for the first time in 30 years, and declared that the Autonomy Plan presented by Morocco in 2007 is “the ideal solution” to the conflict.
On his way to the Tindouf camps, on September 21, he was kidnapped by the Polisario militia and imprisoned in the desert for 71 days.
He now seeks to return to the camps to join his family but is being denied access.
