  Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
The SADR currently administers a minority of the territory of Western Sahara (east and south of the berm) and claims the entire territory, most of which is currently administered by the Kingdom of Morocco.
When Western Sahara was evacuated by Spain, both Morocco and Mauritania virtually annexed it; neither gained international recognition and war with the Polisario ensued.
The creation of the Sahrawi republic was announced in Bir Lehlou in Western Sahara on February 27 1976, as the Polisario declared the need for a new entity to fill what they considered a political void left by the departing Spainsh colonizers.

Disambiguation should not be confused with the merging of duplicate articles (articles with different titles, but regarding the very same topic, for example "Gas Turbine" and "Gas turbine", or "loo" and "restroom").
Disambiguation descriptions should not be created for subjects whose only articles are only on pages of sister projects, even if the disambiguation page already exists (e.g., the poll on 9/11 victims).
Pure disambiguation pages should only contain interlanguage links if a similar problem of disambiguation exists in the target language; that is, they should not point to a single meaning from the list of meanings but to another disambiguation page.
