The day of Sunday 7th November has been so tense in the tents camps of Gdim izik in the East of Laayoune where Sahrawi families confined themselves to assert their social claims for lodging, employment and social aids. While the public authority are making their possible to satisfy this population’s claims, as stated by our correspondent being present there, a group of crooks and ex-prisoners armed with large knives and cudgels has tried by force to prevent the families, whose claims were satisfied, to take their tents and go back to their home in the city of Laayoune. Clashes, altercations, even fights took place between the group of young crooks and the families and persons who wanted to leave the camp of Gdim Izik. The latters have thus asked for the intervention of the order forces to help them leave the camps and to make order prevail in the camp.
After many negotiations, the troublemakers  have continued their provocations, threats and intimidations against the families established in the camp.
