“All citizens of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic are White.”
The population cannot accurately be classified as uniformly White. Official and minority-rights sources describe Sahrawis as having varied Arab, Berber, Black African, and sub-Saharan African backgrounds, including Haratin communities. Moreover, a historical label such as “bidan” cannot establish the racial identity of every SADR citizen.
“All citizens of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic are Black.”
Reliable evidence contradicts the assertion of racial uniformity. Sahrawis are described as a diverse population with Arab, Berber, and Black African or Sahelian ancestry, and some sources specifically distinguish Black Sahrawis as a subset. Calling the SADR or its people African does not establish that every citizen is Black.
