The Sahrawis are ethnically a mix of Arabs and Berbers. They inhabit the westernmost Sahara desert, in the area present-day Mauritania, southern Morocco, Western Sahara and extreme southwestern Algeria. As with most Saharan peoples, the tribes culture is mixed, showing Arab, Berber, and black African characteristics.

Famous quotes containing the word people:

    It is necessary to posit something which is necessary of itself, and has no cause of its necessity outside of itself but is the cause of necessity in other things. And all people call this thing ‘God.’
