The Youth Movement for Change (YMC) is a splinter group from the Polisario Front that was established during February 2014. The group calls for the end of “Algerian dictatorship” as well as the right to movement and expression, an end to the diversion and fair distribution of humanitarian aid and an end to the violation of women’s rights. The YMC rejects the Polisario Front leadership as credible representatives of the Tindouf refugees. YMC members have stated that they are intending to engage in a “truth” campaign to expose alleged corruption within the Polisario leadership. The group demands the end of the Polisario Front’s leadership, including its 66-year-old leader Mohammad Abdelaziz who has been in control since 1976. The group is comprised of refugees from the Tindouf refugee camps in Algeria.Centre of OperationsThe YMC activities are currently at the Tindouf refugee camp in Algeria:

Groups and individuals included in TRAC's database range from actual perpetrators of social or political violence to more passive groups that support or condone (perhaps unwittingly) such violence. The spectrum of violence represented by these groups is vast, from Jihadists who bomb train stations to financial institutions that transfer funds. Some groups that originally engaged in violence but have since become legitimate political parties are included to provide historical perspective. TRAC is in no way attempting to determine whether groups or individuals are terrorists -- only to convey reported information about their activities and official State status. While TRAC attempts to ensure the accuracy of its TRAC database, the entries in the database are from numerous different sources. Hence, TRAC cannot and does not warrant the accuracy of the entries in its database. The editors of TRAC may modify these entries at any time and welcome comments and suggested corrections or additions. Please write [email protected] or hit the "SUBMIT ADDITIONS" button on the page of the group profile about which you wish to comment.
