The Personal Envoy of the Secretary-General for Western Sahara, Horst Köhler, has managed to convince the Security Council into relaunching direct negotiations, which has been stalled since 2008. The achievement is carried out thanks to the Trump administration.
Morocco, the Polisario, Algeria and Mauritania will be attending in December a round-table meeting, that was welcomed by resolution 2440. For former Polisario leaders the resolution adopted in October pressure the parties into finding a solution to the conflict.
The Polisario Front preferred to take note of the new Security Council resolution on Western Sahara. Morocco, on the other hand, welcomed resolution 2440.
Resolution 2440 did not focus on determining the role played by Algeria in the Western Sahara conflict. The country is still considered by the Security Council as a neighboring stateand not a party in the conflict.
Two weeks before the Security Council adopted Resolution 2414, the Polisario sent a delegation to Russia. The Front’s representatives have been in Moscow since yesterday to defend their stance before the meeting on Western Sahara.
A few weeks before the adoption of a new resolution, extending the mandate of the MINURSO, the United States warns Morocco and the Front against the situation in the Sahara.
As planned, the UN Security Council held a meeting, Wednesday, on the Western Sahara conflict. Before attending the session, the UN personal envoy Horst Köhler held talks with the National Security Advisor of the United States John Bolton.
