Presidential Residence Nearing Completion

The Polisario Front is carrying out construction work on a new headquarters in the Rass El Ain area within the Tindouf camps in southwestern Algeria, with the aim of hosting and welcoming its leader, Ibrahim Ghali. Most of the external structure and equipment have been completed, and the building is expected to be ready soon, despite the absence of an official announcement regarding the opening date or the funding sources—rumors suggest that Algeria may be among them. The building includes residential spaces, reception halls for delegations, meeting rooms, as well as security and service facilities. Estimates of the project's cost vary between approximately $670,000 and $3 million. The nearing completion of the project has sparked criticism from Sahrawi activists, who believe that priority should be given to improving the living conditions of the camp residents, many of whom rely on aid, arguing that constructing such a headquarters is at odds with demands to enhance basic services. The debate continues over resource management and funding within the camps, amid uncertainty about the source of financing and the details of the project.
