"The latest events that occurred in the southern provinces of the Kingdom are far from being spontaneous and improvised. It is a premeditated plan, concocted and financed by foreign parties via the Polisario, as evidenced by the numerous telephone calls and reports established, as well as the creation of an association intended to serve this objective of provocation". The remarks of Mohand Laenser, Minister of the Interior, could not be clearer. He was speaking during the session of oral questions held the day before yesterday in the House of Representatives to explain the events in Laayoune. The minister reported, in this regard, the presence of certain "international activists" before the outbreak of the events, including two women members of Amnesty International as well as five elected officials belonging to European political parties. According to him, the events in question are part of the process of preparing for the Sahrawi spring, one of the first phases of which consists of creating a climate of anarchy and violence and provoking the security forces in order to push them to use force to exploit the images in the media. "A design that does not seem realistic since it only concerns 200 to 300 people out of a population estimated at 240,000 inhabitants", specified Laenser.

Remarks that join those revealed by Libé (edition of 6 May 2013) which demonstrated that a separatist plan aimed at destabilising Morocco is being executed and that the powerful Algerian Department of Military Intelligence (DRS) is its main instigator.

The objective of this plan, according to indiscretions gathered in the Hassi Rabouni camp which houses the Polisario HQ, is to buy the services of young Sahrawi affiliates to provoke the security forces stationed in our Saharan provinces and push them to make immoderate use of force, or even to commit the irreparable.

Algeria and the Polisario Front, having been very disappointed by the withdrawal of the American project calling for the expansion of the MINURSO mandate to the monitoring of human rights, are now seeking to raise the tension a notch. According to information gathered in Laayoune and other cities in the South, bonuses ranging from 20 to 500 dirhams are distributed each day to these adolescents to attack the units of the Moroccan security forces and their vehicles, but also to tag walls, wave the colours of the Polisario and commit acts of vandalism and looting of public buildings.

The ringleaders, the same sources add, regularly receive money transfers in foreign currency from abroad to finance these troublemakers.

In a letter dated 16 April, the president of the Algerian National Committee for Solidarity with the Sahrawi People (CNASPS), Mohamed Mahreze Lamari, informed the separatist Brahim Ghali of "financial support to be provided to Sahrawi militants". This, the denials he serenaded through the official press organs of Algeria and their mouthpieces in Tindouf could not hide, since the document published on this subject is by no means a fake.

And this is only the tip of the iceberg, because some Algerian leaders and especially the generals of the formidable and uncontrollable Department of Intelligence and Security (DRS), take advantage of the oil wealth that flows freely, to generously and without counting, water the many Western lobbyists for services rendered to the propaganda of the Algerian regime and the Polisario.

Among these lobbyists, the American Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights foundation, whose president Kerry Kennedy has just committed another blunder by publishing on its website a video on the beginning of the Tunisian revolt at the end of 2010 in Sidi Bouzid, which she presents as proof of the violence committed by Morocco against the populations in Laayoune.

Relating the chronology of the events, the minister indicated that they began on 25 April in Boujdour before continuing on 26 April in Laayoune. "The tactic is simple. It consists of creating points of tension in the different areas of the city. The objective is to provoke the security forces so that they react. The failure of this plan will lead the agitators to buy the services of children and women to throw Molotov cocktails and use bladed weapons, with the design of harming the physical integrity of the members of the security forces and undermining their morale. Moreover, repeat offenders have been mobilised with unmarked 4x4s to carry out criminal acts", declared the minister before adding that it was necessary to wait until 4 and 5 May for the agitators to come out of their silence and call for a march on the occasion of the visit of a delegation of foreign journalists. "A stratagem that will be doomed to failure since the security forces did not proceed to disperse the demonstrators, despite the hostile slogans chanted", affirmed Laenser. A position that will trigger the hostility of the agitators and result in 150 injured in the ranks of the security forces, some of whom were seriously wounded, which necessitated their evacuation to Rabat.

Faced with this situation, Mohand Laenser believes that only the law must respond to these provocations and agitations. "We are with peaceful demonstrations and not with acts of violence and vandalism", he hammered.

The minister also called on the political components of the region and the notables and chioukhs to play a role of appeasement. "The southern provinces are open to associations and the media. I invite them to go and see for themselves to inquire about the situation", concluded the minister.
