One wall that no one plans to take down is the Moroccan Wall. This wall is in the Western Sahara Desert and the southeastern part of Morocco. The Moroccan army built the wall to separate Morocco from a group of independence fighters. The wall is made of earth. It is 2,700 kilometers long and three meters high. The wall is covered with electronic equipment that watches the area. There is also an area around the wall covered in landmines - bombs buried under ground.
Voice 1 
Since 2008, people visit the wall to protest. They are Moroccans, international visitors and human rights activists. They all hold hands. Every year, they demand that the wall is removed. But there is no plan to remove it.
Voice 2 
Walls often exist at country borders. They aim to keep out people from another country. This is the case with the border between Mexico and the United States. The border is just over 3,000 kilometers long. And the United States has built walls on about 1/3 of the border. The other part of the border is watched by technology.

Voice 1 
Hundreds of thousands of Mexicans try to cross the border illegally every year. However, crossing illegally is often very dangerous. Security forces guard the border with guns. The border is in a desert area. So even if a person gets across the wall he may not be safe. Many people die of hunger or thirst before they can find help.
Voice 2 
But walls are not always dangerous. And they are not always barriers. Other walls can be symbols. The Lennon Wall is in Prague, in the Czech Republic. In the 1980s the Czech Republic was part of Czechoslovakia and was under communist rule. John Lennon became a symbol for peace in Czechoslovakia. Lennon was a member of the popular music group The Beatles. He was murdered on December 8, 1980. After his murder, someone painted his image on a wall in the city. They painted political graffiti and words to Beatles songs. The political graffiti said things against communism. Over time people added more and more anti-communist poems and words. Authorities often tried to paint over the graffiti and pictures. But people always put up new graffiti and pictures of John Lennon. People can still visit the wall today. It is a symbol of peace and love.
