caption_attribution_description: English: Sangar from the Western Sahara conflict. The fortification is built of rocks on top of a mesa overlooking the Grart Chwchia, Al Gada, Western Sahara. The Sangar is facing north and was probably built by the Sahrauis in the 1980s. Deutsch: Sangar aus dem Westsaharakonflikt. Die Feldbefestigung wurde aus Steinpackungen auf einem Tafelplateau über dem Grart Chwchia, Al Gada, Westsahara, errichtet. Die Front des Sangars zeigt nach Norden. Das Werk geht wahrscheinlich auf sahrauische Kämpfer zurück und stammt aufgrund der aufgefundenen patronenhülsen aus den 1980er Jahren.
context_page_description: A sangar is a temporary fortified position with a breastwork originally constructed of stones, and now built of sandbags, gabions or similar materials. Sangars are normally constructed in terrain where the digging of trenches would not be practicable. The term is still frequently used by the British Army.
