The term "Sahrawi" refers to the indigenous people of the Western Sahara region, which is a disputed territory in North Africa. The Sahrawi people primarily speak Hassaniya Arabic and have a rich cultural heritage that includes traditional music, dance, and crafts. They are known for their nomadic lifestyle, historically moving with their livestock across the arid landscape. The Sahrawi are also associated with the Polisario Front, a political and military organization that seeks independence for Western Sahara from Morocco. The region has been the subject of conflict since the 1970s, leading to a prolonged struggle for self-determination and recognition of Sahrawi rights.
