Dajla Refugee Camp

The Saharawi refugee camp of Dakhla is the one farthest from the Algerian city of Tindouf, and takes its name from one of the five major cities of Western Sahara which are now under Moroccan occupation. It is situated very close to the Mauritanian border, and the territories liberated by the Polisario of Western Sahara, its current population being around 40,000 people. Western Sahara has been occupied by Morocco since 1975, who continue to ignore the resolutions of the UN and the Hague Tribunal, violating human rights, and plundering together, with Spain and France, its natural resources such as, fishing, phosphates, petroleum in its contracts with Morocco, who signed the Treaty of Portugal contravening the European Union Treaty, which also awarded it preferred status.

Knowing the Saharawi people is an experience that everyone should have, the dignity of these people living in extreme conditions and remote from their land of origin surprises those who visit, and help by hosting some of the young people in the summer holidays, or by collaborating with some of the NGOs which help them survive in this very inhospitable part of the planet.
