Fatah (Arabic: فتح); a reverse acronym from the Arabic name Harakat al-Tahrir al-Watani al-Filastini (literally: "Palestinian National Liberation Movement") is a major Palestinian faction and the largest constituency of the PLO, a multi-party confederation.
The acronym "FATAH" is created from the complete Arabic name: HArakat al-TAhrir al-Watani al-Filastini, becoming "HATAF", which, since it means "death" in Arabic, was reversed to become "FATAH" meaning "conquest" in Arabic.

El Aaiun, June 17, 1970: During spring 1970, the Spanish colonial authorities could clearly notice the overwhelming support for the nationalist movement Harakat Tahrir (Organization for the Liberation of Saguia El Hamra y Rio de Oro) among the Saharawi population.
Severe repressive measures on Harakat Tahrir followed these demonstrations.
This incident marked the death of Harakat Tahrir and laid the grounds for the birth, three years later, of the most successful and better known Saharawi movement; The Polisario Front.
