History
Sahara Press Service was established on 29 March 1999 with a support from Algeria Press Service in collaboration with the Swiss Association for a Free and Fair Referendum in Western Sahara, known as ARSO, in the midst of interactions resulting from the cease-fire of the Western Sahara War on September 6, 1991.[1] The SPS dispatches began to be posted on the internet since April 1999, due to the combined efforts of the Friends of Sahrawi People in Switzerland and Spain.[2] Among the founders was the journalist and then SADR Minister of Information, Mohamed Fadel Ismail Ould Es-Sweyih. Its current director and editor-in-chief is Saleh Nafee.[3] The Sahara Press Service also releases the El Karama monthly magazine, which reports on human rights violations in the region.[4][5]
