WESTERN SAHARA

Western Sahara is one of the most sparsely populated territories in the world, mainly consisting of desert flatlands. It is a territory of northwestern Africa.. The largest city is El Aaiún, which is home to over a third of the population of the territory.
Western Sahara has been on the United Nations list of Non-Self-Governing Territories since the 1960s when it was a Spanish colony.
The Kingdom of Morocco and the Polisario Front's Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) dispute control of the territory. Since a United Nations-sponsored cease-fire agreement in 1991, most of the territory has been administered by Morocco, the remainder by the SADR. The SADR is formally recognized by 45 states, and a full member of the African Union. Moroccan territorial integrity including Western Sahara has been supported by 25 states and the Arab League
