What clothes do people in western Sahara countries wear?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Loose fitting, cotton clothing is the best. If you are going to be hiking in the desert you should wear long pants, long sleeve shirts, a broad brimmed hat and good boots that cover the ankle. A jacket may be required in the evening as the temperature can drop quickly when the sun goes down.

Why doesn't Western Sahara have a capital?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Because Western Sahara is a non-self-governing territory, it does not have a capital. However, the largest city is El Aaiún (or since the city is under Moroccan administration, it is usually spelled Laâyoune, in keeping with French linguistic styles). Morocco has divided the areas into three provinces, the northernmost of which bleeds over into Morocco. The three provincial capitals are Laâyoune, Samarra, and Dakhla, and are all subservient to the Moroccan national capital of Rabat.

Currently, the Polisario Front, which is fighting for an independent Western Sahara uses the oasis of Bir Lehlou as its administrative capital, but argues that Al Aaiún will be its eventual capital when it ejects Morocco from the territory.

What was the overall belief of German General Rommel as to why he was defeated in North Africa?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

German General Rommel was clear on this issue. He believed that the British had given the North African Theater a high priority. This was in contrast to the German High Command. Also, the British benefited by having the Royal Navy to provide as much support as it could for the British Eighth Army. Again, in contrast, Rommel did not believe that the Italian Navy could compete with the British Navy. When ever he asked Berlin for more troops, he was denied this support.

It should be Mauritania, i.e. "The country to the east of Togo is Benin and the country to the east of Western Sahara is Mauritania", but the question might be referring to something else.
