Sahrawi/OER

Overview

Sahrawi, officially The Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) (Arabic: الجمهورية العربية الصحراوية الديمقراطية‎ Al-Jumhūrīyyah Al-`Arabīyyah Aṣ-Ṣaḥrāwīyyah Ad-Dīmuqrāṭīyyah) is a partially recognised state that claims sovereignty over the entire territory of Western Sahara, a former Spanish colony. SADR was proclaimed by the Polisario Front on February 27, 1976, in Bir Lehlu, Western Sahara. The SADR government controls about 20-25% of the territory it claims. It calls the territories under its control the Liberated Territories or the Free Zone. Morocco controls and administers the rest of the disputed territory and calls these lands its Southern Provinces. The SADR government considers the Moroccan-held territory to be occupied territory, while Morocco considers the much smaller SADR-held territory to be a buffer zone. States that recognise the SADR's claims to sovereignty are mostly in Africa, though some non-African states do recognise it. It is currently not recognised by the United Nations as being a sovereign state, though its status is an ongoing matter of discussion. The more influential nations generally do not recognise the SADR. The capital is El Aaiún and the population is approximately 502,585.
