Sahrawi youth: navigating resilience and seeking new horizon

Abstract

The situation of youth in the Sahrawi refugee camps in Tindouf is an issue of vital importance on both a humanitarian and a sociological level. Since their establishment in 1975, these camps have been a refuge for thousands of Sahrawi people displaced due to Morocco’s illegal occupation of Western Sahara. However, difficult living conditions and a lack of opportunities present significant challenges, especially for young people, who represent a considerable proportion of the population in these camps.
