Mauritania Prepares Borders with Western Sahara
United Nations reports and Mauritania's positions reveal that Nouakchott is seeking to clarify its international borders in the Sahara, especially in the Guerguerat region, which periodically regains its geopolitical and developmental importance. Mauritania, during previous rounds of negotiations, called for the formation of a committee to define the final and regional borders through consensus, without directly claiming the area, emphasizing its neutral stance and support for the United Nations' efforts. However, the region has once again come to the forefront amid increased Moroccan presence there, particularly with projects related to the port, security cooperation, and development initiatives, which have strengthened Guerguerat's status as a strategic hub at the Atlantic Ocean interface and an extension of Africa. Mauritania, which had previously announced its withdrawal from territorial claims in the Sahara, is seeking to protect its interests, but is not officially demanding Guerguerat at this time. Negotiations are ongoing and may determine the future of borders and the arrangements for potential autonomy in the Sahara.
