Chapter 3270: Borderlands

"I naturally know it's not easy. This stall can't be put down if you want to. Fortunately, Africa is big enough, and we don't have to compete with organizations like the secret society." Silver Wolf Michelle looked at Lin Rui.

Lin Rui looked at him strangely and said, "You mean, we try to avoid them? But in fact, it's not that we want to fight with them, but that there is a natural conflict of interest between our customer groups and them. Those. Most of the small African countries coveted by the secret agency have contracts with us. These contracts tie us and their interests together, and lose everything."

"I know, that's why we worked so hard to maintain." Silver Wolf smiled bitterly, "but these customers of ours are just idiots."

"What's the matter?" Lin Rui frowned.

"Remember Western Sahara?" Silver Wolf looked at Lin Rui and said.

"Remember." Lin Rui nodded.

This Western Sahara region has puzzled many people. Everyone can't tell what kind of identity it is. It is neither a country nor a colony. This is the Western Sahara region on the west coast of the African continent, which is still a "disputed area" today. Because the Western Sahara area is basically covered by the Sahara Desert, the local population is small and concentrated in only a few small cities.

The Sahara Desert is characterized by its "rich in resources and lack of population", so that its destiny is often dominated by powerful countries on the edge of the desert or outside, whether it comes from the Maghreb in the north, the Niger River in the south, or across the sea. Of Europe. Morocco, which is close to Western Sahara, regards it as its sphere of influence. But in fact this place is truly a land of no owner.

Lin Rui frowned and said, "We also seem to have a contract with the People's Liberation Front of Western Sahara, as if to provide them with military assistance to fight foreign invasion."

The Silver Wolf got up and walked, "The Polisario Front is a political and military organization dedicated to fighting for the independence of Western Sahara. The front is an observer of the Social International.

The Polisario Front was formally established on May 10, 1973, with the goal of rebelling against Spanish control of Western Sahara. On May 20th, the Polisario Front fired its first shot against the Spanish army. By 1975, the Polisario Front had about 800 armed personnel, making it the largest armed resistance organization in Western Sahara.

On November 6, 1975, Morocco launched a green march and forced Spain to the negotiating table. On November 14th, Spain, Morocco and Mauritania signed the "Madrid Agreement" and promised to withdraw from Western Sahara at the beginning of the following year, and hand over the Sakia Amra region in the north to Morocco and the Rio de Oro region in the south Mauritania. However, the agreement was opposed by Algeria, another neighboring country of Western Sahara.

With the support of Algeria, the Polisario Front announced the establishment of the Saharan Arab Democratic Republic on February 27, 1976, the day after Spain completed its withdrawal, and wars with Morocco and Mauritania, and its armed forces also developed To thousands of people.

In 1978, the Mauritanian government fell under the weight of the war. In the following year, the new regime signed a peace treaty with the Polisario Front, announcing its abandonment of its territorial claim to the Rio de Oro region and recognition of the Saharan Arab Democratic Republic’s rights to the region Control. But the Moroccan King Hassan II immediately announced the annexation of the area abandoned by Mauritania and dispatched Moroccan troops to occupy it.

In the mid-1980s, Morocco built a Moroccan wall in Western Sahara to encircle all the economically significant Western Sahara area, thus forming a deadlock with the Polisario Front in Western Sahara, the Polisario Front. Controlled the deserted area east of the Long Wall, accounting for about one-third of all Western Sahara, and established some refugee camps with a population of about 150,000, but failed to achieve greater results.

The current situation is a stalemate. In 1991, the UN Security Council passed Resolution 690, deciding to establish the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) to implement a referendum in Western Sahara to determine the political status of the region. In September, Morocco and the Polisario Front Announcing a ceasefire. However, due to disputes over the qualifications of voters, the referendum has never been held. "

"What do you mean by this?" Lin Rui frowned.

"Black Panther Gulei is there." Silver Wolf turned his head.

"What is he doing there?" Lin Rui was a little strange.

"Actually, it wasn't what he was doing there, but he was caught in Western Sahara." The Silver Wolf said angrily, "He was caught by the people from the Polisario Front."

"But aren't they our customers? Why did they catch Panther Gulei?" Lin Rui was surprised.

"At the beginning we signed a contract with them to protect them from further infringement. But these guys are obviously dizzy. After only a few years of stable tea and rice, they are ready to move again." Silver Wolf sighed.

Lin Rui frowned, "What do they want? They want to fight Morocco again?"

"They didn't touch the Moroccans, they did it to Mauritania." Silver Wolf nodded. "After the Spanish troops withdrew from Western Sahara in 1976, Morocco and Mauritania immediately signed an agreement to divide Western Sahara. Morocco occupied 160,000 square kilometers in the north and Mao occupied 90,000 square kilometers in the south.

But Algeria does not want neighboring Morocco to expand further to the south. These two populous countries continue to compete for the sphere of influence in the southern Sahara. Algeria naturally wants to support Western Sahara’s local forces, the Western Saharan Army, against Morocco.

Algeria supported the Western Saharan Front in announcing the establishment of the Saharan Arab Democratic Republic on February 27, 1976, referred to as the Western Sahara. On the day the Saharan Arab Democratic Republic was founded, it was first recognized by Algeria. After that, Algeria provided them with weapons and equipment, and used the Tindouf area near the border as a guerrilla base and a refugee camp in Xisas. And expressed willingness to provide Xisar with the political, moral and material support needed to realize the national aspirations of its people.

Later, Libya also promised: to provide 200 million US dollars to the Polisario Front to purchase weapons and equipment, and to join Algeria to support the Paracel Independence Movement. The armed forces of the Polisario Front began to equip armored vehicles, heavy artillery, rocket launchers, missiles and more complete communication tools. Armed clashes between Morocco, Mauritania and the Western Swans continue.

Recently, the Polisario Front attacked the Zuerat iron mine in Mauritania, disrupting the railway line from the mine to the Nouadhibou harbour and severely hitting the economic lifeline of Mauritania. The only railway in Mauritania is to transport the inland Zueilat iron ore resources to the port and export to European and American countries. This is their economic pillar. The railway was destroyed and suffered heavy losses. So Mauritania proposed negotiations.

Since we have contracts with both parties, Black Panther Goulei went to mediate. But he was seized by the Polisario Front. "
