Bou Craa

Bou Craa (Bo Craa) is a town in northern Western Sahara, south and slightly west of the capital, Laayoune. It is inhabited almost entirely by employees of the Moroccan-controlled phosphate industry. Most of these workers are ethnically Moroccan, although some are Sahrawi, the native ethnic group of Western Sahara. Allegations by Sahrawi unions and humanitarian groups accuse the industry of being discriminatory against the Sahrawis.
