A group of 17 Moroccans of Sahrawi origins, including two women and two children, fled the camps of Tindouf, south-west Algeria, and returned to their motherland, Morocco.

Speaking to the press on Friday, the group, aged between 20 and 56 years old, recounted the suffering they endured in the camps and expressed their happiness for having joined their relatives in their homeland.

They shed light on the inhumane treatment inflicted upon the population held against their will in the Tindouf camps.

They said they were victims of the polisario's misleading ideology against Morocco, adding that the majority of the population sequestered in Tindouf looks forward to returning home but fails to due to the strict siege imposed on them.

 Some 74 people, including women and children, have recently escaped the camps of Tindouf and returned to their motherland, Morocco.
