Here's another border that I thought was rather odd. what do you guys think of it?
Its the border between Morocco (or Western sahara, whatever you think fit) and Mauritania. Fifty kilometres long, and ten at its narrowest, Cap Blanc is the westernmost tip of the Sahara. It is halved laterally between Morocco on the west and Mauritania on the east.
Morocco, however, has been unable to station troops there, and in consequence Polisario at one time used the peninsula to launch attacks on Morocco-friendly shipping. But the recent completion of the defensive wall has more or less eliminated such activity. The western slice of Cap Blanc is now no-man's-land
As you can see on the map, there's a railway line on the Mauritanian side of the border, carrying Iron ore. The trains running on this line are reputed to be one of the longest in the world. I've attached another pic showing this. There are some tourists too, looking for adventure on the railway line.
Any thoughts?
