Sahrawi National Council

The Sahrawi National Council is the legislative body representing the Sahrawi people's political interests and governance. It functions as a parliament, debating and passing laws, and overseeing the government of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, which claims sovereignty over Western Sahara. Based largely in refugee camps in Algeria due to ongoing territorial disputes with Morocco, the council symbolizes Sahrawi national identity and political organization. Its role is central to promoting self-determination, political unity, and the pursuit of independence for Western Sahara.
