The Court of Justice of the European Union has accepted the examination of the Polisario's complaint about the EU's decision to integrate products from the Sahara into the new association agreement with Morocco.
The leadership of the Polisario could see profound changes. The new Algerian presidency is preparing a successor to Brahim Ghali, who is none other than the current Front representative in Algiers.
In his new report on the Western Sahara conflict, the UN Secretary-General focused on the actions undertaken by MINURSO. According to Antonio Guterres, the peacekeeping mission has proposed the creation of a joint military mechanism between Morocco and the Polisario.
The UN Fifth Committee approved earlier this week the MINURSO’s budget for 2019/20. The approved budget is higher than the one allocated to the peacekeeping mission in the previous year. This decision comes amid the United States’ UN cuts.
