It is inhabited almost exclusively by employees of the Moroccan-controlled Bou Craa phosphate industry. Located in the Saguia el-Hamra region, Bou Craa is the site of a phosphate deposit of 1.7 billion tons. Mining began there in 1972.[1] During the Spanish colonization time of the area (see Spanish Sahara), many early recruits of the nationalist movements Harakat Tahrir and Front Polisario were Sahrawi workers in the phosphate mines.{{Citation needed|date=November 2016}} The town became part of the Moroccan-controlled zone in the April 1976 partition resulting from the Madrid Accords.[1] It has remained in Moroccan hands, though mining was halted in 1976 as a result of Polisario guerilla attacks. The phosphates are transported to the coast by an automated conveyor belt, the longest such belt in the world. During the Western Sahara War the Polisario vandalized and disabled this transportation system several times. These attacks gradually ceased in the early 1980s when the town become enclosed by the Moroccan Wall, which consolidated Moroccan control over the north-western part of Western Sahara (the so-called "Useful Triangle"[2]). Mining resumed on a reduced scale in July 1982.[1] Today, the mine produces around 3 million tonnes annually, which represents 10% of Morocco's total production.[3] Twin towns
