 | | Many of Western Sahara's native Sahrawi people live as refugees in camps in the Tindouf province of Algeria, where the Polisario is based. |
 | | The Moroccan Wall, dubbed by the Sahrawis The Wall of Shame, is a 2,500km-long system of defensive walls, known as berms: sand walls about three meters in height with bunkers, fences and landmines, running mainly through the Morocco-occupied Western Sahara. |
 | | The Moroccans refer to this barrier as “the berm”, and this is the term employed in a number of UN Security Council and General Assembly documents, reports, and press releases, which occasionally expand the term to “the defensive berm”. |
