Regions
Three Moroccan regions overlap the territory of Western Sahara:
- Guelmim-Es Semara – also includes Moroccan territory outside of Western Sahara
- Laâyoune-Boujdour-Sakia El Hamra
- Oued Ed-Dahab-Lagouira
Morocco controls territory to the west of the berm (border wall) while the Polisario Front controls territory to the east (see map on right).

Famous quotes containing the word regions:
“Within the regions of the air,
Compassed about with heavens fair,
Great tracts of land there may be found
Enriched with fields and fertile ground;
Where many numerous hosts
In those far distant coasts,
For other great and glorious ends,
Inhabit, my yet unknown friends.”
—Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
“We have wasted our spirit in the regions of the abstract and general just as the monks let it wither in the world of prayer and contemplation.”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
“In common with other rural regions much of the Iowa farm lore concerns the coming of company. When the rooster crows in the doorway, or the cat licks his fur, company is on the way.”
—For the State of Iowa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
