Sahara Occidental - República Árabe Saharaui Democrática/Provincias Meridionales
El Sahara Occidental es un territorio de África, situado en el extremo occidental del desierto del Sahara. Está en la lista de territorios no autónomos de las Naciones Unidas, cuyo proceso de descolonización fue interrumpido por el abandono del territorio por su antigua potencia colonial, España, en 1976, la cual dejó el territorio en manos de Marruecos y Mauritania, tras firmar con ellos los Acuerdos de Madrid. El territorio se encuentra ocupado actualmente casi en su totalidad por Marruecos, aunque su soberanía sobre este territorio no está reconocida por la ONU, y es rechazada por el Frente Polisario, que proclamó la independencia del Sahara Occidental con el nombre de República Árabe Saharaui Democrática (RASD) en 1976. La RASD administra, de facto, el territorio del Sahara Occidental no controlado por Marruecos, a los que denomina territorios liberados. Marruecos denomina al territorio Provincias Meridionales.

Western Sahara - Southern Provinces of Morocco (claimed by Morocco)
Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (declared independant but unrecognised)
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, bordered by ► Morocco to the north, ► Algeria in the northeast, ► Mauritania to the east and south, and the Atlantic Ocean on the west. The largest city is El Aaiún (Laâyoune), 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 as the Southern Provinces, the remainder by the SADR as the Free Zone. The SADR is recognized by 44 states, and a full member of the African Union. Moroccan territorial integrity has been supported by members of the Arab League, and by 25 states.
