Unreached peoples of Western Sahara
An overview of the country's people groups, focusing on those who still have little or no access to the gospel in their own language and culture.
Western Sahara is among the least reached territories on earth. Practically all the people groups who inhabit it remain without a living church among them and without the Scriptures fully available in their language. The largest of them are the Sahrawis themselves, followed by Berber groups such as the Tekna and the Regeibat, all deeply Muslim. Followers of Jesus are very few, and the gospel still needs to find its way among the cities and the camps of exile.
