Polisario Front withdraws from buffer zone in Western Sahara


Zghala, a Saharawi woman, stands in front of fake flowers as she accompanies her son to show him the wall separating the Polisario controlled Western Sahara from Morocco.
The Polisario Front independence movement has pulled back fighters from a buffer zone in Western Sahara, in a move seen as a boost to efforts to re-start talks on ending the conflict, the United Nations said Friday.
“This action should improve the prospects of creating an environment … to relaunch the negotiating process with a new dynamic and a new spirit,” UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said.
