Zug (also transliterated "Zoug", "Sug"; Arabic: زوك) is a municipality located in the far south-east of Western Sahara, 170 km. from Atar, Mauritania. The only ergorsand sea in Western Sahara (known as "Galb Azefal") is located nearby, where it runs from south-west to north-east from Mauritania into Western Sahara and back into Mauritania, where the border forms a right angle.[3] Zug is located in the part of Western Sahara that is controlled by the Polisario Front and by them referred to as the Liberated Territories.[4] It is the head of the 1st military region of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic and holds a SPLA military outpost and a small hospital.

Infrastructure[edit]

In June 2009, three friendship associations from Alicante (Spain) had a meeting with Sahrawi ministers, with the intention of building up a hospital in the town.[5] On September, a solidarity concert with Chambao, Oléfunk & Mario Díaz was held in Altea, with the aim to collect money to finance the project.[6] On November, an agreement between POLISARIO representatives and members of the friendship associations to build up the building was signed.[7] In 2011, the construction works had been finished, only lasting the equipment and the medical supplies to open it.

It is the site of a former Spanish Foreign Legion outpost.

Culture[edit]

Near Zug there are some Neolithic engravings with geometrical patterns, similar to others found in Chad and southern Morocco.[8]
