The Sahara Wall: Status and Prospects

Pages 199-212 | Published online: 10 Sep 2012
 

Abstract

Although, the Sahara Wall was built, at first, in a specific context and for a specific goal, today it reflects multidimensional aspects of a long-term conflict—the Western Sahara issue that still threatens the stability of the Maghreb region. The future of the Sahara Wall is closely related to the original issue itself which needs a negotiated, realistic and equitable solution due to its complex dimensions.
