Between Iraq and Saudi Arabia, a half-open border (1/4)

Description

The migration crisis, the rise of nationalism and the Covid-19 pandemic have put borders back in the headlines. Although frontiers had never disappeared, globalisation and modern forms of transport had seemed to render them obsolete, at least in many regions. FRANCE 24 brings you a documentary series on four borders that are emblematic of our times. This is the case between Iraq and Saudi Arabia, two countries that had ceased diplomatic relations after Iraq's 1990 invasion of Kuwait. Our reporter Lucile Wassermann travelled to the Arar border crossing, which is coming back to life in the middle of the desert.

World Cup stunner: Saudi Arabia beats Messi's Argentina 2-1
