In contrast to the Moroccan Wall, the construction of the older military defense line on the Algerian side by the Algerian military remained completely unnoticed and without comment by the world public. In the internet is not to find a link. Also in the wikipedia articles about Tindouf or the sand-war, you did not find anything.

Possibly in the time of the beginning Sahrawi guerrilla war led by the Polisario Front in 1973 the first sections of the today 300 km long Algerian borderwall were built - before Morocco begins with the Moroccan borderwall ("berm") . The sections were linked in a second construction-phase only after the launch of negotiations with Morocco on border demarcation in 1992.
the final border demarcation in the Tindouf area was not reached until 1972. Supposedly Algeria offering Morocco shares in the iron ore earnings from Tindouf for recognition of its borders. As recently as on mai 28, 1992 Marokko ratified this border treaty.

and are the first, who conquered the maroccan area. The creed of Ibn Yasin, the spiritual leader of the almoravid was caracterized by a rigid formalism and a strict adherence to the dictates of the Qur'an, and the Orthodox tradition. He died while attempting to subjugate the Barghawata on the Atlantic coast in 1059.
