INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

UNMINURSO ends Western Sahara peacekeeping mission after 35 years

The United Nations announced that MINURSO, the long‑running peacekeeping mission in Western Sahara, will end after 35 years as the Security Council did not renew its mandate. UN Secretary‑General Antonio Guterres said liquidation would begin on 1 November, with assets returned to troop‑contributing countries. Morocco welcomed the decision; Algeria‑backed Polisario Front expressed concern. MINURSO, established after a 1991 ceasefire, also carried the task of organizing a referendum that never took place due to voter‑eligibility disputes. The move follows a US‑backed resolution endorsing Rabat’s autonomy plan under Moroccan sovereignty, a stance opposed by Algeria. Russia’s vetoes and reversals left MINURSO without a new mandate.
  • MINURSO mandate not renewed; liquidation starts 1 November.
  • Morocco welcomes, Polisario Front concerned.
  • MINURSO established after 1991 ceasefire; referendum未 realized.
  • US-backed resolution supported Rabat autonomy plan.
  • Russia vetoes impacted Security Council actions.
