I am just watching Michael Palin's 'Sahara'... in the second episode it mentions the Saharawi Refugees in Algeria. I did not know about this at all. Did you? Here. 200,000 people living in an unbelievably hostile place... for 34 years. No water (nearest is about 50km away and delivered by trucks driving 24 hour a day none stop round trips) and not a lot of anything else.
However, look at what they have achieved... here. Sadly, that is the Saharawi Republic... the refugee camp is not quite like that... here.
