-The '''Desert Dawn''' is a resistance group in ZAFT-occupied Northern Africa. The group is led by Sahib Ashman and its members are recruited from nearby towns like Tassil, Moula, and the city of Banadiya. They were assisted by the Earth Alliance's ''Archangel'' to free North Africa from [[ZAFT]] control. This rebel group of Arabs are mostly from Arab Sudan, Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia and Western Sahara. They specialize in guerrilla warfare. They are poorly equipped, only possessing obsolete [[Missile truck]]s and RPGs and [[Heli]]s. Their main rival was the [[ZAFT]]-occupied Northern Africa team who was led by [[Andrew Waltfeld]].
