Despite the scarcity of comparative academic literature, there exists a close relationship between Cuba and the Western Sahara. This connection was carved during the Cold War, by means of the assistance, respect and shared position offered in the face of social emancipation processes. This article reflects on the implications of the mobility and migratory control policies of these two experiences that, despite their geographic separation and distinct histories, developed political projects based on the construction of egalitarian societies under the socialist ideology. The established migration discourses and regulations in the two cases show clear connections between both political projects and their steadfastness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
