But also wants, through sport, raise awareness and sensitize the world about a 35-year-long conflict. 37 years of suffering for a population affected by a conflict that is burying their hopes, generation after generation, in the refugee camps of Tindouf (Algeria), far from their home. 37 years during which the international community has not been able to unlock the situation. A race to prevent the Saharawi people from being forgotten.
