  • Hey, come and see the F O R M A L National Flag being widely used by Western Sahara.

    This is the only country in Virtual Tourist Web which you can't find the country flag.

    The struggle of the Sahrawi people for Self-determination - Western Sahara the former spanish colony is the last african colonized country still waiting for independence. Since 1973 the Polisario Front is fighting for independence. 1975 Morocco and Mauritania invaded the country. Most of the civilian population fled to Algeria, living in refugee camps. The Polisario Front proclaimed in February 1976 the SADR, the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. After 18 years of war the United Nations Peace Plan for Western Sahara was adopted in 1991 by the Security Council. The United Nations mission for the referendum in Western Sahara, MINURSO (Misión de las Naciones Unidas para el Referendum del Sahara Occidental), has been monitoring a cease-fire since September 6 1991 and preparing the self determination referendum.
