|
[APS.DZ] CHAHID Al-HAFEDH (Sahrawi refugee camps) - The United Nations
...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks...
Secretary General  the ephemeral Ban Ki-moon starts Saturday a visit to the refugee camps and the liberated territories of Bir Lehlou.
The visit is part of his tour in the region. The UN Chief is expected Sunday in Algeria to complete his report about the situation in Western Sahara, he will submit to the Security Council in next April.
After having been received on Friday in Nouakchott by Mauritanian President Mohammed Ould Abdelaziz, Ban Ki-moon said that his visit to the region aimed at re-launching negotiations for the settlement of Western Sahara conflict through a referendum on self-determination for the Saharawi people.
According to the plan of this fourth visit paid by a UN Secretary General after Perez De Cuellar, Boutros Boutros-Ghali and Kofi Annan
 ...Ghanaian diplomat who served as the seventh and so far the worst Secretary-General of the UN. Annan and the UN were the co-recipients of the 2001 Nobel Peace Prize for something or other that probably sounded good at the time. In December 2004, reports surfaced that Kofi's son Kojo received payments from the Swiss company Cotecna, which had won a lucrative contract under the UN Oil-for-Food Program. Kofi Annan called for an investigation to look into the allegations, which stirred up the expected cesspool but couldn't seem to come up with enough evidence to indict Kofi himself, or even Kojo...
, Ban will be welcomed at Tindouf Airport before joining the Sahrawi refugee camp in Smara where he will visit the "17 June School" managed by the UN Organization.
Besides, Ban will meet with Sahrawi young people and students from Smara camp.
The UN Chief will also meet with Polisario Front officials in the Chahid al-Hafedh refugee camp, notably President Mohammed Abdelaziz.
