Estudia lingüística del español saharaui

I need some help with a Saharawi Spanish project so I will be describing that below...

Para un proyecto, estoy investigando el español saharaui, cómo funciona en la sociedad y cómo es diferente de otras variedades del español. Quiero saber cómo el español influye al árabe hablado en Sáhara Occidental y visa versa. Finalmente, estoy analizando cómo el uso del español podría constituir una parte de la identidad única saharaui en el norte de Africa.

Ahora sé que usan "zapat" para un zapato en la hasanía saharaui, pero no sé mucho de mi tema. Si tienes algunos consejos, me ayudaría muchísimo.

Spain’s changed stance brings a diplomatic shift in Western Sahara

Spain has altered its long-standing stance in Western Sahara, the former colony in North Africa. Ending a 10-month long row, Morocco reinstated its ambassador to Spain. The months-long conflict between the two Mediterranean neighbours was triggered after Madrid’s changed position in Western Sahara. But this has further triggered a diplomatic shift between Spain and Algeria.

Why isn't the Polisario carrying attacks deep in morocco?

Hey, I am from Algeria and I can't understand why the Polisario front isn't doing like the IRA and just bombing the crap out of morocco from the inside?

I mean, all what we see is people firing rockets at a dune of sand (the "wall lol") why don't you guys give them the right treatment?

Western Sahara has most of the world's phosphate supply which is a core ingredient in the fertiliser which feeds the world....right?

So, I'm imaging there are all kinds of political intrigues going on there with foreign powers vying for control of that natural resource through proxies?

Solar power farming in Western Sahara

I've never been to WS (or anywhere in Africa), but I've been reading a lot about the history of North Africa recently, and exploring the Sahel virtually on Google Earth. I have also read recently that the price of solar power generating equipment is becoming less and less expensive, and the price of solar electricity will soon be lower than fossil fuel electricity. It strikes me that Western Sahara might be the perfect place to put a few large scale solar power plants. The vast stretches of empty desert, which get lots of sun and very little rain, could be blanketed with acres and acres of solar panels. This could then be sold to WS's neighbors, facilitating development in places like Mauritania, Mali, and the countries of the Guinea coast. Have any investors, either local or foreign, explored such a possibility?

I'm not a political scientist, but I also wonder if investment in solar power generation as an export product might offer a potential solution to the political and military stalemate that WS currently faces. Just like Thailand avoided being colonized by skillfully brokering trade deals with the colonial powers controlling both of its neighbors, and allowing both the French and the British to use its ports. I wonder if a similar sort of power balance could be achieved, if Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania, and possibly Spain each had a vested interest and a cooperative role to play in WS becoming a stable and reliable exporter of solar electricity. The native Saharawi people would provide valuable knowledge about this harsh land, and how to build and maintain man-made structures there, and would ideally become the owners, operators, and maintainers of these solar panel fields, as a source of livelihood.

Any thoughts and feedback much appreciated.

hey! I need help for a cultural videogame about your region

Hey y’all!

I’m doing a university project that collects information from countries all over the world to create an educational videogame Wario Ware style! The idea is to collect through many local subreddits around the word interesting information, facts, traditions or just fascinating stuff from your country. It really can be whatever! from history stuff, manners, toys to food dishes. Real cultural information that is deeper than typical trivia found on traveling and touristic websites.

All that info is going to be used to create the questions for the videogame quiz system! Hope it inspire you to let us know your culture and make the game richer. Many many thanks for your help! :)
