Morocco troops launch operation in Western Sahara border zone

Rabat says it will restore movement between Moroccan-controlled areas of disputed territory and neighbouring Mauritania.

The pro-independence Polisario Front declared a three-decade-old ceasefire in disputed Western Sahara was over after Morocco launched an operation to reopen the road to neighbouring Mauritania.

Morocco said its troops have launched an operation in a no man’s land on the southern border of Western Sahara to end “provocations” by the Polisario Front.
