>>220461610are you black or nafri?what are your views on black and nafri people?
How is it different culturally from Morocco
>>220461610do you wish western Sahara is independent or are you fine with Morocco taking over
>>220461610How do you have access to the internet
>>220462375i look like young pic relateddesu we feel superior to the nafris and the blacks because we perceive ourselves to be of arab descent while nafris are mostly berbers beyond race, the tribe you come from is what matters the role of tribes is essential. If you’re not from the right tribe, you’re fkd.>>220462391we have a distinct arabic dialect ( mutually intelligible )and the tribal identity is strong compared to morocco but theres a lot of cutlural mixing in moroccan controlled sahara, everyone's growing up watching moroccan tv going to morocco school etc.
What are the women of western sahara like?
>>220462401back in the 2000s early 2010s, i was pro-independence, everyone was pro-independence actually . If you’d said you wanted to join morocco, you’d have gotten killed lolnow things have changed and opinions are much more mixed now. morocco invested a lot. If there were a referundum today im pretty sure indigeneous sahraouis living in western sahara controlled will mostly vote for moroccothose who are living as refugees in algeria are the hardliners and would vote against it.i personally dont care desu, want to live in the state that offers me the best opportunitiesalso pains me to say it but the party that wants to establish independence is pretty backwarded and doesnt help
>>220463321>indigenous sahraouisWhat's a sahrawi anywaydoes it just mean "western saharan"?
>>220462953rdy to fight>>220462409there is maroc telecom operating here, 2-3 months ago they made 5G available in my city laayoun
>>220462953Western Sahara? I hardly know her!
>>220461610What do people think of Spain over there? Do people still speak Spanish? Do people generally support the Polisario Front? How developed things are over there?
>>220463492sorry i didn't precisethere are 600k people living in western sahara, late king of morocco incentivized moroccans in the 70s 80s to live in western sahara the indigenous sahraouis form the minority now >does it just mean "western saharan"no it means ethnically sahraoui, we are genetically differentwe were present here during spanish colonization or before morocco wanted all residents of western sahara to vote in a referendum in the 90s which would secure him a guaranteed winthe Polisario Front (independance front) , logically, wanted only Sahrawis to vote which was at the time a guaranteed lossthey never agreed on the voter list.I’m saying now that even the indigenous Sahrawis lean more toward Morocco
>>220463741interesting I found this map on Wikipediado people actually live in the polisario controlled bits? I imagine most people would live closer to the coast
>>220463668 >What do people think of Spain over there? spain is actually viewed with a lot of warmth, but the state and politics not so good since you handed western sahara morocco twice in 1975 and 2022>Do people still speak Spanish? in morocco controlled areas its gone and replaced by french, ppl in the algerian refugee camps can still speak it i grew up in las palmas and can speak it >Do people generally support the Polisario Front?less and less, their expectations are unrealistic desu>How developed things are over there?fairly modern, lots of investments ( 3 4 families monopolizing all the money but thats just how it is… ) refugee camps in algeria are however extreemly poor
>>220464091> do people actually live in the polisario controlled bits? they used to until polisario announced war against morocco in 2020now morocco drone strikes all the vehicles in the "polisario controlled bits" it's a largely uninhabited desert now
>>220461610does morocco even have any power there
>>220464359morocco controls almost everything that matters desu
>>220461610somehow the thing that intrigues me the most about this post is that you're in france and not spainyou've fallen for the typical neocolonialism of nafris running to the country of their old colonizer, except oddly it's to france and not spain, you basically got colonized by france by proxy through morocco, kinda funny
>>220464796what do they have in france that spain doesnt?
>>220464947it's just that every colonial power sets up systems in old colonies that exert its influence and attract migrants from therelanguage is one, compatibility of educations systems, ties between universities, ties between businesses, endowments and grants, etc. in addition to the existing diaspora that acts as a pullthis should have been spain, but since morocco took over western sahara, they basically supplanted that with french influence
>>220464796>you basically got colonized by france by proxy through moroccokek, kinda true ngl
hhhhhh
How do you cope with being moroccan owned?
>>220462883>we perceive ourselves to be of arab descent while nafris are mostly berbersbut Berbers are superior
>>220461610Why do you not want to be Moroccans? What makes you a distinct people?
>>220461610Have you ever got too close with a goat or camel? Maybe a sheep?
>>220461779are you hella gay
>>220461610how long did it take you guys to come up with the name "western sahara"?
