Yesterday Saturday, armed Polisario elements launched projectiles at the town of Al Mahbès, in the Sahara, while Sahrawi civilians were gathered to commemorate the 49th anniversary of the Green March. The four projectiles landed near the tents hosting these participants, without causing any casualties.
The obvious objective of this attack was to cause as many victims as possible. Elements of the armed Polisario militia in the hands of Algiers fired at least four projectiles, which fell not far from the ceremony site. The shooting was carried out from four all-terrain vehicles coming from the east of the defensive wall.
The attack was carried out by members of the Front traveling in four all-terrain vehicles. In response, a Royal Armed Forces (FAR) drone targeted the attackers. No civilians were injured and the leaders of the terrorist attack were all neutralized thanks to the intervention of the FAR. A first provisional report shows the death of Abdelaziz Ould Bariya, a senior executive of the 6th military region of the Polisario, as well as his companions.
Audio messages circulating among the Sahrawis in the Tindouf camps confirmed this human loss in the ranks of the Front.
This strike marks the third FAR drone intervention in a week, after those carried out on Tuesday and Thursday against similar armed groups.
The separatist militia controlled by the Algiers regime claimed responsibility for the attack, while refraining from admitting to having targeted civilians, the leadership of the Polisario separatists having deliberately failed to mention that these projectiles had fallen near a gathering. popular. The images, however, do not require any commentary. In October and November 2023, the Polisario had already launched similar attacks on civilian targets in Es-Smara, causing the death of a young Moroccan residing abroad.
