According to the Spanish news agency EFE, the Spanish Foreign Affairs Ministry has warned its citizens from travelling to some of the dangerous regions in Algeria, especially the area of Tindouf in the Southwest of Algeria. The Secretary of State for Spain’s Foreign Affairs, Gonzalo De Benito, said that the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation AECID hired a technician in the security field to evaluate the risk level in camps located in Tindouf, on the border of Morocco. Trusted information stated that this technician was then kidnapped, which pushed the Spanish officials to warn citizens from heading towards this region for the fear of also being kidnapped. He pointed out that the Spanish government made the decision to evacuate its citizens working in the humanitarian field in Tindouf camps in Algeria on 28 July. Three European hostages, two Spanish (Aino Fernandas Coin, a member of friends of the Sahrawi People, and Enrico Gonyalons, a member of the NGO Mundubat) and an Italian (Rosella Urru, a member of the NGO CCISPP) were kidnapped from Rabun Camp in Tindouf by the Al Tawheed wal Jihad movement on 22 October in 2011 and released last July following a ransom of 30.000.000 Euro. Spanish warnings have thus been intensified, especially after the execution of the Algerian diplomatic by Al Tawheed wal Jihad.
