Mauritania tightens border crossing policy

2010-02-04

The Mauritanian Interior Ministry on Wednesday (February 3rd) officially designated 35 crossing points on the country's borders with Senegal, Mali, Western Sahara and Algeria, Journal Tahalil reported. All foreigners will be required to pass through one of these points. The move comes as part of counter-terrorism measures implemented in the wake of several recent kidnappings of Westerners by Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM).
