us, starting with some valuable context relating to the population of Western Sahara.</p><h2>Population of Western Sahara in 2024</h2><p>The population of Western Sahara stood at <b>592.9 thousand</b>

analysis indicates that internet users in Western Sahara <b>increased</b> by <b>65 thousand</b> (+19.4 percent) between January 2023 and January 2024.</p><p>For perspective, these user figures reveal

of the year.</p><p>However, complexities associated with the collection and analysis of internet user data mean that it can often take several months before research is ready for publication.

thousand</b> (+23.5 percent) between January 2023 and January 2024.</p><p>For more recent context, the same data show that the number of users that marketers could reach with ads on Facebook in Western Sahara <b>increased</b> by <b>14 thousand</b> (+4.2 percent) between October 2023 and January 2024.</p><p>However, it’s important to stress that these advertising reach figures are <b>not</b> the same as the monthly active users figures that Meta reports in its investor earnings announcements, and they should not be interpreted as such.</p><p>As the company states within its ad planning tools, </p><blockquote><i>“Estimated audience size is not a proxy for monthly or daily active users, or for engagement. Estimates aren’t designed to match population, census estimates or other sources, and may differ depending on factors such as how many accounts across Meta technologies a person has, how many temporary visitors are in a particular geographic location at a given time, and Meta user-reported demographics.”</i></blockquote><p>As a result, changes in ad reach may <i>not</i> necessarily indicate any change in the platform’s overall user base.</p><p>But despite these caveats, Meta’s ad reach data still offers valuable insights into how Facebook use is evolving.</p><h3><i>Facebook adoption in Western Sahara</i></h3><p>Facebook’s ad reach in Western Sahara was equivalent to <b>57.6 percent</b> of the total population at the start of 2024.</p><p>However, Meta only allows people
