footnotes =Ain Ben Tili ( _ar. عين بن تيلي) is a small town in northeast
Mauritania , on the border withWestern Sahara , in theSahara desert .On
October 12 ,1975 , thePolisario Front gathered a large number of Sahrawi tribal elders in a conference in Ain Ben Tili to rally the tribes against impending Moroccan andMauritania n invasion. The timing was intended to predate the October 16Green March that staked Morocco's claim to what was thenSpanish Sahara . The meeting resulted in a declaration of support from the tribes to Polisario, including by many from the pro-Spanish PUNS party and theDjema'a . As a result of the Ain Ben Tili gathering, a conference by the Djema'a was organized inGuelta Zemmur on November 28, where the Djema'a dissolved itself after declaring support to Polisario.Since 1976, the
Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic celebrates October 12 as National Unity Day.
