the beautiful people of WESTERN SAHARA are called sahrawi, which literally means “of the desert” and refers to the indigenous population, originally nomadic Berbers. The modern ethnic group is an Arab and Berber people inhabiting the westernmost Sahara desert, in the area of modern Mauritania, Morocco, Western Sahara, and parts of Algeria. (some tribes would also traditionally migrate into northern Mali and Niger, or even further along the Saharan caravan routes). As with most Saharan peoples, the tribes reflect a highly mixed heritage, combining Arab, Berber, and other influences, including black African ethnic and cultural characteristics. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahrawi_people
