Guerguerat is a small village in the far south west of Western Sahara, 11 km from the border with Mauritania and 5 km from the Atlantic Ocean. The village is under the control of Morocco. The Moroccan passport control stamp bears the name of Bir Gandouz, a nearby village. Morocco sees this frontier post as the southernmost barrier protecting the European Union.[1]
The area between the Moroccan frontier post and the Mauritanian frontier is seen by Morocco as a no man's land and by the Polisario as part of the RASD.
In January 2015, the Polisario established a military presence in Lagüera on the seaside, but apparently did not yet start controlling passports of people transiting to Mauritania.[2]
