Official: Opening of a New Border Crossing Between Morocco and Mauritania, Passing Through Smara, Amgala, and Reaching Bir Oum Grein in Mauritanian Territory

ALDAR/

In a significant strategic development, a new border crossing linking Morocco and Mauritania has been officially inaugurated. This passage runs through the city of Smara, passes through the Amgala region, and reaches Bir Oum Grein in Mauritanian territory. This initiative is part of Morocco’s efforts to enhance trade and economic ties with Sahel countries, facilitating the movement of goods and people in accordance with international laws.

This new corridor holds great geopolitical importance, as it effectively signifies the complete reclamation of the buffer zone with the approval of the United Nations, reinforcing Morocco’s sovereignty over its territory. It also opens up broader prospects for regional cooperation and serves as a crucial pillar for supporting stability and economic development in the region, especially as Sahel countries face significant logistical challenges due to restrictions on commercial movement.

This development represents a major strategic breakthrough, reflecting the success of Moroccan diplomacy in securing tangible gains on the ground and solidifying the Kingdom’s role as a key hub connecting North and West Africa.
