Sadr (name)

Sadr (as-Sadr or al-Sadr) (الصدر) is a family name originating in Lebanon and a branch of Musawi family tracing to Musa Ibn Jaafar the seventh Shia Imam.

History

Sadr is a branch of Sharafeddine (Arabic:شرف الدين) family from Jabal Amel in Lebanon. The Sharafeddine family itself is a branch of the Nour eddine family, which traces its lineage to Musa al-Kazim (the seventh Shi'a Imam) and through him to the first Imam, Ali ibn Abi Talib and Fatima Zahra, the daughter of Muhammad (d.632). The as-Sadr family has produced numerous Islamic scholars in Iran, Lebanon, and Iraq, including Ismail as-Sadr (d. 1919) and his grandsons Musa Sadr (d.1978[?]) and Mohammad Baqir as-Sadr (d.1980).

Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic

The Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR; Arabic: الجمهورية العربية الصحراوية الديمقراطية‎ al-Jumhūrīyah al-‘Arabīyah aṣ-Ṣaḥrāwīyah ad-Dīmuqrāṭīyah, Spanish: República Árabe Saharaui Democrática) is a partially recognized state that controls a thin strip of area in the Western Sahara region and claims sovereignty over the entire territory of Western Sahara, a former Spanish colony. SADR was proclaimed by the Polisario Front on February 27, 1976, in Bir Lehlou, Western Sahara. The SADR government controls about 20–25% of the territory it claims. It calls the territories under its control the Liberated Territories or the Free Zone. Morocco controls and administers the rest of the disputed territory and calls these lands its Southern Provinces. The SADR government considers the Moroccan-held territory to be occupied territory, while Morocco considers the much smaller SADR-held territory to be a buffer zone. The claimed capital of the SADR is Laayoune, while the temporary capital (due to the placing of its government) is Tifariti (previously Bir Lehlou).
