Introduction to Western Sahara
Western Sahara is a territory on the northeast corner of Africa. It is one of the most sparsely populated areas in Africa, as it is mostly dry desert. Western Sahara is considered a non self-governed territory by the UN; the question of who exactly runs the area is up in the air, with claims laid by Morocco and the Polisario Front.
The indigenous population are Sahrawi, tribe-based bedouin Sunnis who speak a dialect of Arabic. They have traditionally relied on herding and fishing, but the continuing struggles for control, which have devastated the area since the 70s, have disrupted life significantly. Many now live in refugee camps run by the Polisario. At the moment the economy is administered by Morocco.
