The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic:

Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) – partially recognised state that claims sovereignty over the entire territory of Western Sahara, is a former Spanish colony. The SADR was proclaimed by the Polisario Front on February 27, 1976, in Bir Lehlou, Western Sahara. The SADR government controls about 20-25% of the territory it claims. It calls the territories under its control the Liberated Territories or the Free Zone. Morocco occupies the rest of the disputed territory and calls this area its Southern Provinces. The United Nations, the SADR government and most of the countries around the world do not recognize Moroccan sovereignty over the territories occupied by Morocco and its occupation and annexation are illegal under international law.
