阿尔及利亚廷杜夫11月2日电——现年51岁的比尼娜·穆罕默德（Binina Mohamed）和将她从西撒哈拉地区驱逐并带到阿尔及利亚南部难民营的冲突一样大，她在那里度过了一生，身边还有数万名面临着类似命运的人。
TINDOUF, Algeria, Nov 2 - At 51, Binina Mohamed is as old as the conflict that drove her from the Western Sahara region into a refugee camp in southern Algeria, where she has spent her life among tens of thousands of others facing a similar fate.
这场关于她故土的对峙通常被描述为非洲持续时间最长的领土争端，本周末因联合国安理会的一场争执而重新成为焦点，这场争执导致当地一个存在了几十年的维和任务宣告结束。
The confrontation over her native land, often described as Africa's longest-running territorial dispute, was brought back into focus this weekend by a UN Security Council spat that led to the end of a decades-old peacekeeping mission there.
西撒哈拉冲突的一方是认为该领土属于自己的摩洛哥，另一方是受阿尔及利亚支持的波利萨里奥阵线。自前宗主国西班牙于1976年撤离以来，这个政治和军事组织一直致力于在该地区建立一个独立的国家。自1991年联合国斡旋达成结束双方多年游击战的停火协议以来，维和人员一直驻守该领土。
The Western Sahara conflict pits Morocco, which considers the territory its own, against the Algeria-backed Polisario Front, a political and military organisation that has been seeking a separate state there since the departure of former colonial power Spain in 1976. Peacekeepers have watched over the territory since 1991, when the UN brokered a ceasefire ending years of guerrilla warfare between the two sides.
数千名撒哈拉威人逃离战乱，来到阿尔及利亚西南部的廷杜夫地区，波利萨里奥阵线在那里管理着五个难民营。
Thousands of Sahrawis fled hostilities to the Tindouf area in southwestern Algeria, where the Polisario administers five refugee camps.
在波利萨里奥阵线为外国媒体组织的一次罕见的该地区访问中，穆罕默德讲述了她的女儿们（现在二十多岁和三十多岁）从未去过她家乡的经历。
During a rare visit to the region for foreign media outlets, organised by the Polisario, Mohamed described how her daughters, now in their twenties and thirties, had never visited the region where she was from.
她对路透社表示：“我不想让她们活到50岁却还没见到自己的祖国。”
"I do not want them to reach the age of 50 without seeing their homeland," she told Reuters.
n她的一个女儿、33岁的萨菲亚·阿尔-萨利赫（Safia Al-Saleh）表示，她希望自己的两个孩子能有不同的未来。
One of her daughters, Safia Al-Saleh, 33, said she hoped her own two children would have a different future.
她说：“我希望我的孩子和孙辈能在自己的国家学习和长大，而不是像我们一样在这里长大，成为一无所有的难民。”
"I want my children and my grandchildren to study and grow up in their own country, not to grow up like us here, as refugees, with nothing," she said.
外交陷入僵局 穆罕默德等难民面临的不确定性，已成为围绕西撒哈拉最新外交斗争的核心争议点。
DIPLOMACY IN DEADLOCK The uncertainty facing refugees such as Mohamed has become a central point of contention in the latest diplomatic battle over Western Sahara.
去年，联合国安理会支持拉巴特提出的给予该地区摩洛哥主权下自治权的计划，认为这是解决冲突“最切实可行”的途径，这使得该争端在去年升温。
The dispute heated up last year when the UN Security Council backed Rabat's plan to give the region autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty as the "most feasible" way to resolve the conflict.
在去年投弃权票后，俄罗斯今年否决了一项由美国起草、本可重申该立场的决议。当一份针锋相对的俄罗斯决议被否决后，联合国特派团的任期未能获得延长。
After abstaining last year, Russia this year vetoed a US-drafted resolution that would have reaffirmed that position. When a competing Russian resolution was defeated, it left the UN mission without a renewal of its mandate.
阿尔及利亚驻联合国特使在安理会发言时捍卫了波利萨里奥阵线的立场，并强调了难民营中援助减少和难民的苦难。
In a speech at the council, Algeria's UN envoy defended the Polisario's stance and highlighted a decline in aid and the suffering of refugees in the camps.
摩洛哥驻联合国特使则表示，难民营的恶劣条件应由俄罗斯的长期盟友阿尔及利亚负责，他指责阿尔及利亚剥夺了难民回家的权利。他敦促阿尔及利亚允许联合国接触难民，并称那里存在其他国籍的人员。
Morocco's envoy in turn said the harsh conditions in the camps were the responsibility of Algeria, a longtime Russian ally, which he accused of denying the refugees their right to return home. He urged Algiers to allow the UN to the refugees, saying other nationalities were present there.
阿尔及利亚和波利萨里奥阵线表示，有超过16万人居住在廷杜夫难民营中。联合国难民署表示，它向当地估计9万名“最脆弱”的难民提供援助。
Algeria and the Polisario say over 160,000 live in the Tindouf refugee camps. UNHCR says it provides assistance to an estimated 90,000 of the "most vulnerable" refugees there.
摩洛哥对这两个数字均提出异议，理由是缺乏联合国人口普查，并指责波利萨里奥阵线和阿尔及利亚将撒哈拉威人当作政治筹码，阿尔及利亚对此予以否认。
Morocco disputes both numbers, citing a lack of a UN census, and accuses the Polisario and Algeria of using Sahrawis as political pawns, which Algiers denies.
随着争端持续发酵，穆罕默德的家人描述了难民营中的日常困难，包括获取水源和恶劣的气候。
As the dispute grinds on, Mohamed's family described daily problems in the camp, including access to water and the harsh climate.
世界粮食计划署今年早些时候在一份声明中表示，难民营中超过80%的居民依靠人道主义援助来满足基本食物需求。
More than 80% of the camps' residents rely on humanitarian assistance to meet basic food needs, the World Food Programme said in a statement earlier this year.
穆罕默德的另一个女儿、24岁的波利萨里奥阵线战斗人员阿伊莎·萨利姆（Aisha Salem）表示，她希望为下一代争取不同的未来：“我们不想像祖父母那样生活，经历流离失所和剥夺，”她说。
Another of Mohamed's daughters, Aisha Salem, a 24-year-old fighter with the Polisario Front, said she wanted a different future for the next generation: "We don’t want to live the way our grandparents did, through displacement and deprivation," she said.
穆罕默德也表达了同样的看法。“我们想要稳定。我们厌倦了当难民，”她说。“没有土地的人就没有生活。”路透社
Mohamed echoed the sentiment. "We want stability. We are tired of being refugees," she said. "The one who has no land has no life." REUTERS
