Western Sahara is a territory in North Africa bordering Morocco to the north, Algeria to the east, Mauritania to the east and south, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. It has been the site of an ongoing military and political dispute between Morocco and the Polisario Front, the latter a Sahrawi nationalist group founded to fight Spanish colonialism in the territory in 1973.
