On November 13, 2020, the Sahrawi movement for national liberation, known as the Polisario Front, resumed its armed struggle against Morocco's occupation of Western Sahara. With this decision, the movement put an end to a 29‐year‐long peace process throughout which the implementation of international law had been indefinitely deferred. During this cease‐fire, the Polisario used humanitarian aid to strengthen its nation‐state building in exile. This practice formed part of a larger historical narration that was inserted into the cease‐fire's temporal parenthesis, or what I call an imperial meantime. As a result, a disjuncture arose between the movement's political forms and its goal of achieving state sovereignty over Western Sahara. During this imperial meantime, a generation of refugees came of age. Describing the contradictions experienced by young politicized refugees, and highlighting the role that the control over time plays in humanitarian governance, I show how the invisible violence of a humanitarian peace anticipated the return to armed struggle.

Las elecciones en el Sáhara Occidental constituyen una pieza clave en la estrategia de legitimación de la ocupación marroquí, al asociarlas con la voluntad del electorado saharaui de permanecer bajo su soberanía. De la misma manera, el personal político saharaui electo se reivindica en tanto que “representantes legítimos” en procesos decisorios que transcienden el territorio ocupado y que tocan a la pesca, un sector clave en la economía local. En el presente artículo, abordamos los elementos definitorios de tales procesos, en relación con las tasas de participación, poniendo en evidencia sus límites para producir representación más allá del contexto de ocupación.
