In 1977, in Opération Lamantin, Giscard ordered fighter jets to deploy in Mauritania and suppress the Polisario guerrillas fighting against Mauritanian military occupation of Western Sahara. It failed to kep in power the French-installed Mauritanian leader Moktar Ould Daddah, as he was overthrown by his own army. A peace agreement was signed with the Sahrawi resistance.
