At the time when the whole world celebrates women’s international day, the desperate case of Sahrawi women living in Tindouf camps comes up with all its strength. Many evidences collected directly by the press from Sahrawi women who have by a miracle escaped from the forced sequestration in Lahmada camps, at the South-West of Algeria, tell with great regret the terrible conditions in which are surviving the Sahrawi women in this open air prison.

Al Harah Toufa, nicknamed the "Pearl" of the South, hasoffered to the public in one day a rich menu consisting ofplastic reproducing paintings, including portraits of Moroccan Sahrawi  women with their local, objects ,utensils and houses.

In a  dominant figurative style of Al HarahToufa intends to meet the taste of a lot of domestic and foreign visitors, while exposing some paintings adopting other styles such as symbolism and the abstract.
