UN presses for Western Sahara peace negotiations
THE UN security council will urge Morocco and the Polisario Front to return to peace talks to end the Western Sahara conflict this week.
It is expected that a draft resolution will call for the resumption of negotiations ahead of today’s vote on extending the UN mission observing a fragile ceasefire in the region.
The mission, known as Minurso, has seen UN peacekeepers monitoring Western Sahara come under fire from the Algerian-backed Polisario Front which has been engaged in a decades-long struggle for independence from Morocco.
