Río de Oro Peninsula | Overview of the Disputed Territory of Western Sahara
The Río de Oro Peninsula, located in the western part of the Western Sahara region of northwestern Africa, bordering the Atlantic Ocean, is an important part of Western Sahara and, together with the Saguia el-Hamra region, forms part of this disputed territory. Historically, the area was colonized by Spain, but after Spain withdrew in 1975, Morocco and the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) both claimed sovereignty over it, and it is currently under the de facto jurisdiction of Morocco. The terrain of the peninsula is dominated by low and slow plains, with a long coastline, rich fishery resources, the surrounding waters are rich in sardines, tuna, etc., and apatite minerals also have a certain economic value. As a result of the unresolved sovereignty dispute, the local economy is dependent on Moroccan input, while retaining some nomadic traditions, and is a unique geographical unit where the Sahara Desert meets the Atlantic Ocean, with both ecological and strategic significance.
