Morocco–Western Sahara border

The MoroccoWestern Sahara border is 444 kilometres (276 mi) in length and runs from Atlantic Ocean in the west, to the tripoint with Algeria in the east.[1] The border has existed purely in a de jure sense since Morocco's annexation of Western Sahara in 1976–1979.

Description[edit]

The border starts in the west at the Atlantic coast and consists of a single horizontal line, terminating in the east at the Algerian tripoint.[2] The border traverses a thinly populated section of the Sahara desert.
