Lemseid
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lemseid is a small oasis town close to El-Aaiun in the Saguia el-Hamra part of Western Sahara, close to the Saguia el-Hamra (Red River) itself. The Sahrawi independence activist and leader of the Harakat Tahrir, Muhammad Bassiri, grew up here. It was one of the first cities to be enclosed by the Moroccan Wall during the fighting between the indigenous Polisario Front and the Moroccan army after the invasion of Western Sahara in 1975.
