Figure 11. The Camp Boujdour landscape with family homes. Western Sahara, also referred to as Africa’s Last Colony (Martín, 2017) was invaded by Morocco in 1975, instigating a war for independence led by the Frente POLISARIO. Many Sahrawi communities sought refuge in Algeria where they established five refugee camps near the town of Tindouf. Although a UN-brokered ceasefire was negotiated in 1991, the ongoing existence of the refugee camps (1975 to present) reflects the political impasse and resistance that exists when discussing the future of the Western Sahara community.
