List of diplomatic missions of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic

This is a list of diplomatic missions of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR). The Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic's government in exile, led by the Polisario Front and headquartered at Camp Rabouni, Algeria, maintains diplomatic relations with 34 states, and has a small diplomatic network overseas. Due to Morocco's claim of sovereignty over the Western Sahara, which it calls the Southern Provinces, the SADR does not enjoy wide recognition. Most of the embassies of the SADR are in Africa and Latin America. Some embassies have multiple accreditation. In addition, SADR (Polisario Front) maintains an extensive network of representatives in countries that do not recognise the SADR as a sovereign state.
