Western Sahara: Traversing the Corner of Sahrawi ADR
The road from Choum to Zouerat in Mauritania actually cuts through a corner of the Western Sahara or the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic that is de-facto sovereign and governed by its own government, the Polisario Front. The iron ore railroad used to run entirely in Mauritania and a small overpass bridge collapsed and it was rerouted through a de-facto corner of Sahrawi ADR. The highway now also runs side by side with the railroad.
