Brief narrative

In the southern city of Dakhla, Sahrawis have lost many hectares of land in the Argoub area, which Moroccan occupiers falsely claim as terra nullius. In April 2021, local landowners staged sit-ins at the Dakhla Land Registry to assert their legitimate tenure of those lands, inherited over centuries from their ancestors.
