Headline Disputed Corner of the Sahara

Caption Description The narrow strip of desert in north-west Africa known as Western or Spanish Sahara is presently ruled as an overseas province of Spain. It is the last outpost of colonialism in the area, the only corner of the vast Desert that is not part of an independent state. Spain has recently indicated its willingness to transfer power to the people of Sahara. But that transfer of power has been complicated by the conflicting claims and interests of three neighboring countries: Morocco, Mauritania and Algeria.
Nomad encampment in El Aaiun. Tents that are practical in the desert easily become slums in urban areas. Since 1968, the severe drought affecting the entire sub-Saharan zone has forced all but an estimated 20% of the Territory's largely Nomadic population to set up their tents in and around urban and trading centers.
