Battle of Hausa (1989)

The 1989 Battle of Haouza was an armed confrontation that took place on 10–11 October 1989, when Polisario Front troops attacked the Moroccan Wall in the Haouza sector, penetrating up to 20 kilometres (12 mi) into Moroccan territory beyond the wall and making a number of Moroccan casualties and prisoners, after retreating into the Liberated Territories. The attack was seen as a POLISARIO response to the delay of the peace conversations with Morocco, and the declarations of Hassan II denying another encounter with Sahrawi representatives.
