Sahrawi People

The Sahrawi, or Saharaui are the people of the Western Sahara, in the area of present-day Mauritania, southern Morocco, the Western Sahara territory and extreme southwestern Algeria.

As with most Saharan peoples, their culture is mixed, showing Arab, Berber, and black African characteristics.
