I don’t get it. The Sahel region is not close to Morocco. If most of those countries need access to sea, it would not be happening via Morocco.

I know The Gambia is primarily one river valley, but it too is a Sahel country.

They should build the world’s longest canal.

To allow the Sahel countries to access Morocco they would have to cross Western Sahara south of it, a region that Morocco already occupies most of it without the official recognition of the African Union. So this whole plan is just a ploy to force Africa to give Morocco the land they want officially and allow them to end the independent resistance rule that defies Morocco in the border of Western Sahara and Mauritania

So they want most of them to basically cross the whole continent to ship shit through them? I can’t be the only one who sees the flaws with this plan, right?

This will absolutely work! These countries are the most stable in the world. Should be a piece of cake.

Sorry but that’s a map of Sahel countries. It has nothing to do with the Moroccan plan which concerns AES countries and tangentially Chad. That’s not an imaginary map, you added zero value and zero imagination or context. Just why?

Stupid question but why does Senegal and The Gambia need Morocco’s permission for the Atlantic?

Sudan can get Atlantic access through the Suez Canal, would this really be that attractive for those on the Eastern side?
