Western Sahara is a disputed territory, partially controlled by
the self-proclaimed Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic and
partially occupied by neighboring Morocco.
|
|
|
|
[In 1975, Spain relinquished the administrative control of the
territory to a joint administration by Morocco and Mauritania.
A war erupted between those countries and a Sahrawi
nationalist movement, the Polisario Front, proclaimed the
Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic.]
