WILAYA by @borjaabargues
42 years ago since the Spanish forces left from the Sahara and the Moroccan green march occupied those countries. From that moment the Saharawi automatically became what they are today: refugees.
Nowadays in the fields of Tindouf (Algeria),about 180,000 people live there.
A great deal of this population are children (birth rates are growing every year) and young people, many of them belonging to small groups of activists for the Sahrawi cause.

The rest of the people simply “survive”.
