Background

•  Western Sahara dispute

MORE >>
Photographer Saeed Taji Farouky visited Western Sahara in late February as indigenous Sahrawi people marked 30 years of struggle for independence with little hope in sight of a solution to Africa's longest-running territorial dispute.

He also visited sprawling desert refugee camps in Algeria, home to tens of thousands of Sahrawi people displaced in one of the continent's remotest corners since Morocco's 1975 seizure of most of mineral-rich Western Sahara.
