A demonstrator gathers in front of Madrid's Parliament March 13, 2007 to protest what demonstrators say is the Spanish government's hostile tack on the Western Saharan independence project. A U.N. deadline for action on self-determination for the mineral-rich territory expires on April 30. The banner reads, "Morocco guilty. Spain responsible. The Sahara can't be sold. Referendum for self-determination".
