  WSO| SADR
The SADR is defined in the Constitution of 1976 as part of the Arab, African and Third World nation, with a policy of non-alignment and as a long term objective the question of the unity of the Maghreb as a step towards a wider unity, Arab and African.
Although the SADR constitution contemplates a multi-party system after achieving independence, currently it is the Polisario Front organised as a party which articulates the SADR which is conceived as the ultimate aim of the Saharawi struggle for liberation.
The most obvious example is that the roles of the president of the SADR and the head of the Saharawi state are exercised by the Secretary General of the Polisario Front (maximum authority of this organisation), who is at the same time the chief of the Saharawi Popular Liberation Army.

 Middle-East-Info.org - Saharawi Arab Republic (SAR)
The Saharawi Arab Republic, formerly the Spanish colony West Sahara, has been occupied by Arab Morroco for decades - its territory the size of the United Kingdom, 13 times bigger than Israel and 45 times as big as the West Bank.
The Saharawi Arabs have lived in refugee camps for twenty years in the most inhospitable desert, and are most probably the poorest people on earth.
Apparently since the Moroccans are Muslim Arabs, and not Jews, the Arab League, the United Nations, Human Rights Organizations, the media etc. are not bothered too much by the fact that Arab West Sahara is occupied and that for decades most Saharawis have been living in squalor and poverty in the world's worst refugee camps.
