Mustapha Salma Ould Sidi Mouloud (born 1968 Smara) is a former police chief of the Polisario Front, and political dissident.

He was abducted in 1979, and deported to Algeria.[citation needed] He studied physics, and Police officer school in Algiers in 1991.[citation needed]

In 2010, following a family visit to the Moroccan-controlled part of Western Sahara, he announced on August 9, he wanted to open dialogue within the POLISARIO, on the Moroccan autonomy initiative for settling the conflict in Western Sahara.[1] On August 30, 2010, he attempted to return to the Tindouf camps crossing the highly militarized Moroccan wall.[2][3] He was detained by Sahrawi People's Liberation Army troops on September 21 at the liberated territories, and accused of high treason.[4][5]

M. Brahim Ghali, ambassador of the Sahrawi Arabic Democratic Republic in Algiers, described Mustapha Salma as a traitor.[6]

On October 8, 2010, there was a protest about the disappearance at the Embassy of Algeria in Washington, D.C.[7] In October 2010, there was a report of his release.[8][9] In December 2010, he was released to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees at the Western Sahara-Mauritania border.[10][11] Since his release, Sidi Mouloud had stayed in Mauritania, not returning to Morocco or the Western Sahara, and he had not made any declaration.
