Thousands of Saharawis arrive from all over Spain to demand the end of Morocco's occupation in Western Sahara, the freedom of political prisoners, in support of the Polisario Front and to demand solutions from the Spanish government. Western Sahara was a Spanish colony until 1976 where Spain left the territory. Later Morocco occupied part of Western Sahara and still part of the Saharawi population lives in refugee camps in the desert in Algeria and in Spain.
