The Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) ( ) is a partially recognised state that claims sovereignty over the entire territory of Western Sahara, a former Spanish colony. SADR was proclaimed by the Polisario Front on February 27, 1976 in Bir Lehlu, Western Sahara. The SADR government currently controls about 20-25% of the territory it claims. It calls the territories under its control the Liberated Territories or the Free Zone. Morocco controls and administers the rest of the disputed territory and calls these lands its Southern Provinces. The SADR government considers the Moroccan-held territory occupied territory, while Morocco considers the much smaller SADR held territory to be a buffer zone.

No agent, no invader, no agent, no invader. You who ask about us: we are the ones who drive the transforming struggle. We are the ones who smash that idol, we are the ones who understand the beautiful lesson. We are the people of the path; we are the people of the path. We are the ones who revealed the path against the raid, the one that burns up the raiders. It is the war to erase the oppressor and establish the right of the laborers. We are the people of the path; We are the people of the path. The uprising is for the people and will advance in the Arab lands. It will produce unity forever in the hearts and will establish justice and democracy. Every century, every generation, every century, every generation.
