If legal proceedings are begun against the gangs of the Polisario, a legal proceeding should also be started against the Algerian generals who exploit the conditions of our Sahrawi people detained in Tindouf and Hamada and plunder the aid offered by humanitarian organizations to detained children of the Sahara and sell [the aid] in neighbouring African markets.
