morocco - argelia border

this is the situation:

Since the past week, Moroccan Authorities are responsible of Sub-Saharan immigrants´s deportations to the Sahara Dessert, on Argelian territory. They don´t have into account any agreement to accept these deportations. Deported immigrants are in an arid zone with just arena, not town, not food, not water. There are declarations that report about eight deaths (one woman and two men) and a undetermined number of disappeared persons. Sub-Saharan´s original countries are numerous: Congo RCD, Costa de Marfil, Mali, Nigeria, Liberia, Camerun, Senegal, Guinea Bissau, Guinea Conakry, Congo, Brazzaville, Gambia, Niger, Somalia, Sudan etc...

We order:
* To the European Commission, Spanish Government and United Nations: the immediate research of these facts.
* To the Commissioned High of United Nations for Refugees: the protection and asylum to people that demand it in Moroccan territory.
* To the Moroccan Government the immediate engagement of these deportations and the respect to the human rights.
* To the Algerian Government to effect a international protest in front of these facts. They have to try protecting to these deported persons of possible negative repercussions.
* To the origin countries governments and embassies: research about these facts and defence of human rights of its citizens in Morocco.

we are looking for gps data to generate maps to hand to the people being deported:
this are the cities that serve as reference to where their are located, its important to keep in mind that all main roads are under surveillance and that water is fundamental. if anyone has information from this region please send it to funkzvv@gmail.com.
