Government-in-exile
A government-in-exile is a group of people who claim they are the real government of a country, but who live in another country[1]. These were common during World War II. The Germans took over several countries, and the leaders of those countries went to England for refuge.
Today, there are some governments-in-exile. They include:
- Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) in the Tindouf region in Algeria
- the government of the Belarus National Republic exiled since 1920 and currently led by Ivonka Survilla in Canada
- the government of the Dalai Lama in India, claiming to be the real leaders of Tibet, which was taken over by the Chinese
Few countries recognize (accept) these groups.
