- Britannica (online), May 16, 2024(Polisario Front; political and military organization, North Africa, striving to end Moroccan control of the former Spanish territory of Western Sahara; composed largely of Sahrawis, indigenous nomadic inhabitants; began in May 1973 as an insurgency, based in Mauritania, against Spanish control; after Spain withdrew and Morocco and Mauritania partitioned Western Sahara between themselves in 1976, the Polisario Front relocated to Algeria, which provided them with bases and military aid; Mauritania made peace with the Polisario Front in 1979, but Morocco then annexed Mauritania's portion of Western Sahara; in 1991 the Polisario Front inaugurated a more democratic constitution for the Sahrawi Arabic Democratic Republic (SADR; declared by the Polisario Front one day after Spanish withdrawal in 1976), but a referendum of self-determination scheduled for 1992 was postponed indefinitely; tensions with Morocco escalated again in late 2020 and the Polisario Front announced that it would no longer abide by the 1991 United Nations peace plan)
