Agounit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Agounit is a small town or village in the Río de Oro area of Western Sahara. Most of its Sahrawi Bedouin inhabitants fled the Moroccan and Mauritanian invasion of Western Sahara (then known as Spanish Sahara), and Mauritania's annexation of the area into Tiris al-Gharbiyya (rescinded in 1979). They are presently in the refugee camps of Tindouf, Algeria. It is to the east of the Moroccan Wall, thus included in the Polisario-held Free Zone of Western Sahara, under the jurisdiction of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic.
