Tindouf (Arabic: تندوف) is the main town in Tindouf Province, Algeria. It is close to several Algerian military bases, and also to the autonomous areas of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, the government in exile of Western Sahara, which contains several Sahrawi refugee camps operated by the Polisario Front. There is an airport outside Tindouf, north-west of the town, with regular Air Algérie flights to Algiers and other cities. Within the municipal territory of Tindouf, there is Gara Djebilet, a settlement near the border with Mauritania with a iron mine and a defunct airport. It is approximately 70 kilometers northwest of Aet Legra.

For more on the Sahrawi refugee camps, see Refugee camps in Tindouf Province, Algeria.

History

The town of Tindouf was built near an isolated Saharan oasis in 1852 by members of the Sahrawi Tajakant tribe, but sacked and destroyed by Reguibat Sahrawis in 1895. It remained deserted until French troops arrived in the area in 1934. Since Algerian independence in 1962, the town has been purposely built up, partly because of its importance as a last outpost before the Moroccan, and Mauritanian borders.

Demographics

Tindouf has a population of 44,058 (2006 estimates).^[1]

-==Origin==
-Świętosława was the daughter of [[Casimir I of Poland]] and his wife Maria Dobroniega of Kiev. Thanks to her great-grandmother [[Dobrawa]] she was related to the [[House of Přemysl]], family of her future husband. Her brothers were rulers of Poland [[Boleslaus II the Bold]] and [[Vladislaus I Herman]].

-==Marriage to Vratislaus==
-Vratislaus married Świętosława in 1062, one year after the death of previous Duchess, Vratislaus second wife [[Adelaide Arpad]]<ref>KAREŠOVÁ, Z.; PRAŽÁK, J. ''Královny a kněžny české''. Prague : X-Egem, 1996.</ref>. His first unknown wife died during stillbirth of their child. According to German historians, Świętosława was 15 years old bride, according to [[Oswald Balzer]] from 19 to 22.
+-->.
-By this marriage, neutrality of Bohemia was ensured in Polish-German conflict. In addition, Vratislaus demonstrated friendly relationships with Duke and later King of Poland [[Boleslaus II the Bold]], but some time after he had dispute with Boleslaus about Czech-Polish borders.
+''For more on the Sahrawi refugee camps, see [[Refugee camps in Tindouf Province, Algeria]].''
-==The first Queen==
-New duchess gave birth to four children, while Vratislaus had four another ones already. The youngest son, [[Soběslav I of Bohemia|Soběslav]], was born probably in 1075. Świętosława was relatively old mother of a baby. That is why she has a little different feelings for Soběslav than for her other offspring. Her sons [[Vladislaus I of Bohemia|Vladislaus]] and Soběslav became dukes in the unquiet years after the death of their father, daughter Judith was married to ally and friend of her father, Wiprecht.
+== History ==
-Although there are only a few messages about Vratislaus wife, for sure she was crowned together with him in 1085 by archbishop Egilbert. They were King and Queen for the next seven years.
+The town of Tindouf was built near an isolated [[Sahara desert|Saharan]] [[oasis]] in 1852 by members of the [[Sahrawi]] [[Tajakant]] [[tribe]], but sacked and destroyed by [[Reguibat]] Sahrawis in 1895. It remained deserted until [[France|French]] troops arrived in the area in 1934. Since Algerian [[independence]] in 1962, the town has been purposely built up, partly because of its importance as a last outpost before the [[Morocco|Moroccan]], and [[Mauritania]]n borders.

-In 1092 Świętosława was left a widow and saw a struggle for the throne of Bohemia among Přemyslids. In 1111 she helped by negotiation between Vladislaus I and [[Bolesław III Wrymouth]]. After Vratislaus death she softened clashes between their youngest sons Vladislaus and Soběslav.
+{|
-In 1125 dying Vladislaus I confirmed his relative [[Otto II the Black]] as his succesor, which was also the wish of Vladislaus wife [[Richeza of Berg]]. Only the intervention of his mother changed his opinion. Not to like, Vladislaus reconciled with his brother Soběslav.<ref>KAREŠOVÁ, Z.; PRAŽÁK, J. ''Královny a kněžny české''.
