                          About Public Holidays in Western Sahara

                          Western Sahara's disputed status means its holiday observance depends on administration: areas controlled by Morocco follow the Moroccan calendar including Green March Day (November 6, marking Morocco's 1975 mass demonstration asserting its claim), while Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic-administered areas mark their own proclamation date instead.
