The United Nations has no legal instruments confirming the claims on the region made by the governments of Morocco or the self-proclaimed SADR, and in international treaties, it is still a formal part of Spain that remains to be properly decolonized, even though Spain and Mauritania no longer claim any part of it. Since the annexation, the situation is worsened by the fact that most of the historic Western Saharan population has fled either to the remaining ''free zone'' (now isolated by the Moroccan militarized berm) or to refugee camps in neighbouring countries (notably

), due to lack of resources in the ''free zone''. The remaining native Western Saharan population now lives as a minority among the new Moroccan occupants. The absence of a legal government with a permanent administration in the ''free zone'' has also introduced a threat to the security of the surrounding countries in the Saharan and Sahel regions, including Morocco itself.

Wilaya

In Morocco, a

wilaya A wilayah ( ar, وَلاية, wālāya or ''wilāya'', plural ; Urdu and fa, ولایت, ''velâyat''; tr, vilayet) is an administrative division, usually translated as "state", "province" or occasionally as "governorate". The word comes fr ...

is an administrative division created in 1981 that "brings together many provinces or prefectures or both at the same time, and is intended to endow big urban units such as Casablanca with an administrative organization capable of meeting the needs that emerge from these expanding cities and their growing populations." Therefore, strictly speaking, the level of wilayas are between the regions and prefectures/provinces (although wilayas only cover urban areas). However, they are often used synonymous with regions or prefectures/provinces in common usage.Wilayas, Prefectures and Provinces
