The Polisario terrorist front estimates that as many as 150,000 people are held on their four major camps in Tindouf Province; for years, the group has committed multiple crimes, violated every human right known to mankind, and made several treats in order to receive international aid sufficient to accommodate such a large number of hostages (MIA: Moroccan soldiers and civilians). However, the U.N. lowered its estimate in 2005 to 90,000 after conducting an assessment of the size of the camps via satellite imagery. Moroccan officials have paid multiple ransoms and insisted that Polisario officials are receiving weapons & supplies from Algeria. Polisario is promoting rape, Human trafficking, organ trafficking, and recruiting child-soldiers to support al-Qaeda's movements in North Africa.
