Addressing the 7th session of the Human Rights Council (HRC), Mr. Radi made it clear that Morocco has proposed its initiative for negotiating an autonomy status for the Sahara region to facilitate their return with dignity.

The return to Morocco of a hundred Sahrawis, who participated last December in Gjijimat congress near Tifariti, is a logical consequence of a long dissidence process within Polisario since its creation and glimmer of hope prompted by the Moroccan autonomy initiative among the sequestered people in the Tindouf camps. This large-scale return of families, which reflects the malaise afflicting the camps is particularly important because it is run by Polisario officials and several sheikhs, a social group, which has an obvious influence on tribal members, as a wise men, mediators, regulators and depository of the memory of tribes.
