Aftissat

It belongs to the Jraifia commune in the Boujdour province of the Laayoune-Sakia El Hamra region.

The village of Aftissat was established in 2005 as part of a development program of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, aimed at establishing fishermen's villages and equipped ports along the Moroccan coast, in order to strengthen the marine fishing sector and revive traditional fishing.

Both the EU Court of Justice and the UN Human Rights Council have said that the consent of representatives of the people of Western Sahara is required for a project like this.

The response was that the EU would respond to questions about exploitation of natural resources by pointing out the unresolved legal status of Western Sahara.
