Former members of the Polisario Front Since the end of the 1980s, several members of POLISARIO have decided to discontinue their military or political activities for the Polisario Front . Most of them returned from the Sahrawi refugee camps in Algeria to Morocco , among them a few founder members and senior officials. Some of them are now actively promoting Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara , which Morocco considers its Southern Provinces . Their individual reasons to stop working for POLISARIO, as reported in the media, vary, but include allegations of human rights violations , monopolization and abuse of power , blackmailing and sequestering the refugee population in Tindouf , and squandering foreign aid . They also claim POLISARIO is controlled by the government of Algeria and as one former member of POLISARIO put it, " a group of Moroccan students who were urging the Spanish colonizer to leave and who had never claimed independence or the separation from motherland Morocco." The following is a list of some former members of the POLISARIO. It is not exhaustive.Ahmedou Souelem Ahmed Brahim , former "minister", responsible of relations with the Arab World Omar Hadrami - responsible of the military security of POLISARIO, a relative of the late Ma al-'Aynayn Lebnaha Attaya - Close to Prime Minister of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic , Mahfoud Ali Beiba Ghaoutah Mohamed Ahmed Baba - census official Mustapha El Barazani – founder member and representative at the Organisation of African Unity Mustapha Bouh - Political Commissar for Sahrawi Popular Army of Liberation .

The possibility to freely report on the problem of Western Sahara is limited in Morocco. US Congressman Donald M. Payne, from New Jersey , referred in 2005 to some former members of POLISARIO during a hearing before the subcommittee on Africa: "Also several people who were in a position of authority in the POLISARIO camps, when serious human rights abuses including torture were widespread, particularly during the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s, now occupy positions of authority in the Moroccan civil administration. This is based on information Amnesty International has been privy to."
