The Moroccan Western Sahara Wall (also called the Berm) is the second longest after China's Great Wall, at about 2,700 km (1,700 miles). Morocco built it from 1980 to 1987 to separate their controlled areas - with key resources like phosphates - from the Polisario-held Free Zone. The wall is heavily fortified with sand berms, bunkers, fences, radar and the world's longest continuous minefield.
