Around 70 people gathered in front of the screen as a film was beamed onto it from a 16-wheeler truck. Some sat on carpets, rolled out over rocky, reddish sand; others crouched on low dunes. They all watched attentively as a voice boomed from speakers:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose who don\u2019t know the Sahara think there\u2019s nothing here but sand. But in the Sahara is an occupied country. And a people in exile.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was the second night of the 17th edition of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fisahara.es\/en\/\" target=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">FiSahara<\/a>, the Western Sahara International Film Festival, held on Oct. 11-16 in the Auserd refugee camp in Algeria\u2019s westernmost province of Tindouf, which borders Mauritania, Morocco, and Western Sahara. Auserd\u2014along with four other neighboring camps\u2014formed in the mid-1970s, when Morocco invaded Western Sahara after Spanish decolonization and around 50,000 of the region\u2019s Indigenous Sahrawi people fled.<\/p>\n<p>More than 45 years later, Morocco continues to occupy most of Western Sahara. The Polisario Front\u2014the Sahrawi liberation movement\u2014has managed to take back a narrow strip of desert in the east, which forms the self-declared Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. A third of all Sahrawis live as refugees in the five Algerian camps run by the Polisario Front\u2014a grim limbo for a traditionally nomadic community.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1096342\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone none text_width\"><span class=\"image-attachment -ratioscale image-loaded\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class=\"image alignnone size-text_width wp-image-1096342 -fit jetpack-lazy-image -lazy jetpack-lazy-image--handled\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/West-Sahara-film-Sawahari-festival-Ariel-Sophia-Bardi-2.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/West-Sahara-film-Sawahari-festival-Ariel-Sophia-Bardi-2.jpg?resize=150,100 150w, https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/West-Sahara-film-Sawahari-festival-Ariel-Sophia-Bardi-2.jpg?resize=550,367 550w, https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/West-Sahara-film-Sawahari-festival-Ariel-Sophia-Bardi-2.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/West-Sahara-film-Sawahari-festival-Ariel-Sophia-Bardi-2.jpg?resize=400,267 400w, https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/West-Sahara-film-Sawahari-festival-Ariel-Sophia-Bardi-2.jpg?resize=401,267 401w, https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/West-Sahara-film-Sawahari-festival-Ariel-Sophia-Bardi-2.jpg?resize=800,533 800w, https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/West-Sahara-film-Sawahari-festival-Ariel-Sophia-Bardi-2.jpg?resize=1000,667 1000w, https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/West-Sahara-film-Sawahari-festival-Ariel-Sophia-Bardi-2.jpg?resize=275,183 275w, https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/West-Sahara-film-Sawahari-festival-Ariel-Sophia-Bardi-2.jpg?resize=325,217 325w, https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/West-Sahara-film-Sawahari-festival-Ariel-Sophia-Bardi-2.jpg?resize=600,400 600w\" alt=\"A camel stands near a heap of rusted cars close to the sole asphalt road that runs through rocky Algerian desert and links Auserd camp to four other Saharawi refugee camps on Oct. 15.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/West-Sahara-film-Sawahari-festival-Ariel-Sophia-Bardi-2.jpg\" data-lazy-loaded=\"1\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1096342\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A camel stands near a heap of rusted cars close to the sole asphalt road that runs through the rocky Algerian desert and links Auserd camp to four other Sahrawi refugee camps on Oct. 15.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Spanish filmmakers created the five-day FiSahara festival in 2003 to raise awareness about the Moroccan occupation of Western Sahara.

class=\"bolded-first-line\">\n<p>In 1975, King Hassan II of Morocco appeared on television and announced the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/av\/magazine-34667782\" target=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Green March<\/a>, a mass demonstration to take Western Sahara, then called Spanish Sahara. The resource-rich strip of land had been a Spanish colonial territory since 1884, but Morocco\u2014which had gained independence from France in 1956\u2014claimed its own territorial sovereignty from colonial rule. The International Court of Justice ruled against Morocco\u2019s claim in October 1975, prompting Hassan\u2019s invasion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Mohammad Salim, now 73, watched fearfully from his home in Laayoune, the territory\u2019s capital. Soon, the Moroccan army started bombing. \u201cI didn\u2019t even have time to understand. I just found myself running with a bunch of people I didn\u2019t know, just to save myself,\u201d he told\u00a0<em>Foreign Policy<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, the Polisario Front was just 2 years old\u2014an anti-Spanish, pro-independence movement that quickly pivoted to take on Morocco. Salim joined its military regimen and found himself in a gunfight with Moroccan troops near the Algerian border. A bomb dropped, seemingly from nowhere. \u201cWe didn\u2019t know about planes,\u201d Salim said. After a head injury and bout of amnesia, he ended up in Auserd, one of the five new refugee camps.<\/p>\n<p>It was Sahrawi women who built the camps. The men were away, fighting at the front line. In the beginning, \u201cthere was nothing at all. Only desert,\u201d said Mariam Ahmada, the governor of Smara camp, which is located south of Auserd. Ahmada was 9 years old when her family fled Western Sahara. \u201cDon\u2019t count how old I am now,\u201d she joked.<\/p>\n<p>Back then, women used traditional shawls to build tents. Everything was made from salvaged materials\u2014still seen in the rusted car doors that serve as enclosures for goats and camels\u2014giving the camps a surreal junkyard ingenuity. Each of the five camps was named for a town or city left behind in Western Sahara: Auserd, Smara, Bojador, Laayoune, and Dakhla.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSometimes the refugee situation becomes your new reality. We didn\u2019t want our children to forget where they came from,\u201d Ahmada said.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1096345\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone none text_width\"><span class=\"image-attachment -ratioscale image-loaded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"image alignnone size-text_width wp-image-1096345 -fit jetpack-lazy-image -lazy jetpack-lazy-image--handled\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/West-Sahara-film-Sawahari-festival-Ariel-Sophia-Bardi9.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/West-Sahara-film-Sawahari-festival-Ariel-Sophia-Bardi9.jpg?resize=150,100 150w, https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/West-Sahara-film-Sawahari-festival-Ariel-Sophia-Bardi9.jpg?resize=550,367 550w, https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/West-Sahara-film-Sawahari-festival-Ariel-Sophia-Bardi9.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/West-Sahara-film-Sawahari-festival-Ariel-Sophia-Bardi9.jpg?resize=400,267 400w, https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/West-Sahara-film-Sawahari-festival-Ariel-Sophia-Bardi9.jpg?resize=401,267 401w, https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/West-Sahara-film-Sawahari-festival-Ariel-Sophia-Bardi9.jpg?resize=800,533 800w, https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/West-Sahara-film-Sawahari-festival-Ariel-Sophia-Bardi9.jpg?resize=1000,667 1000w, https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/West-Sahara-film-Sawahari-festival-Ariel-Sophia-Bardi9.jpg?resize=275,183 275w, https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/West-Sahara-film-Sawahari-festival-Ariel-Sophia-Bardi9.jpg?resize=325,217 325w, https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/West-Sahara-film-Sawahari-festival-Ariel-Sophia-Bardi9.jpg?resize=600,400 600w\" alt=\"Saharawi women perform outside of a traditional tent strung with Western Sahara flags in Auserd camp as part of the FiSahara festival in the Western Sahara.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/West-Sahara-film-Sawahari-festival-Ariel-Sophia-Bardi9.jpg\" data-lazy-loaded=\"1\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1096345\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sahrawi women perform outside a traditional tent strung with Western Sahara flags in Auserd camp as part of the FiSahara festival on Oct.15.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Conditions in the camps are harsh.

Sahrawis also speak Spanish as a second language and attend Spanish universities in large numbers. Spaniards at FiSahara were quick to note that S\u00e1nchez\u2019s move doesn\u2019t speak for them\u2014or all Spanish officials. \u201cIt\u2019s a personal decision, not a legal decision, and it doesn\u2019t represent all the Spanish parliamentarians,\u201d Abdulah Arabi, the Polisario Front\u2019s representative in Spain, told\u00a0<em>Foreign Policy<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past two years, war has flared again along the 1,600-mile Moroccan-built sand wall that separates the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic from Moroccan-controlled Western Sahara, known as the Berm.
