The Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic is recognized as an independent state by the African Union and 45 (out of a total of 193) United Nations member states.
The Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic currently only controls around a quarter of the territory of Western Sahara (which it fully claims) and the Sahrawi refugee camps in Tindouf, Algeria, where it regularly holds elections.
