The Saharawi people are an ethnic group primarily found in the disputed territory of Western Sahara. They are known for their rich cultural heritage, which includes traditional music, dance, and crafts. The Saharawi have a nomadic lifestyle, historically relying on herding and trade in the arid desert environment. The political status of Western Sahara remains contentious, with the Saharawi seeking independence from Morocco. The Polisario Front, a liberation movement, represents their interests and has declared the establishment of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. The ongoing conflict has led to significant humanitarian challenges for the Saharawi people.
