🤝 Diplomacy · 🇲🇦 🇩🇿 🇺🇸 🇷🇺 🇫🇷 UN Peacekeeping Mission in Western Sahara Ends After 35 Years The United Nations peacekeeping mission in Western Sahara, known as MINURSO, has ended after 35 years following an impasse between the United States and Russia at the UN Security Council on October 30, 2026. Established in 1991, the mission came to a close after Russia vetoed a US-drafted resolution regarding its mandate. The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that it voted against the measure because the text sought to impose a single settlement option that undermined the Sahrawi right to self-determination. Following the vote and a statement from the Moroccan Royal Cabinet calling for an end to the mission's presence, Morocco celebrated the termination of MINURSO. French legal expert Hubert Seillan described the 35-year-old mission as obsolete given international backing for Morocco's autonomy plan. Meanwhile, Polisario Front officials, including Mohamed Salem Ould Salek and Khatri Eddouh, welcomed the Russian veto and the defeat of the draft text. They described the outcome as a strategic victory against attempts to weaken the legal framework governing Sahrawi self-determination. 📰 Sources: BBC and other outlets ✓ Verified News · confirmed by several independent sources https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cqp8genleg2ro #Morocco #Algeria #USA #Russia #France #MINURSO #UNSC #RussianMFA #MoroccanRoyalCabinet #Polisario #HubertSeillan #OuldSalek #المغرب #الجزائر #أمريكا #روسيا #فرنسا #المينورسو #مجلس_الأمن #الخارجية_الروسية #الديوان_الملكي_المغربي #البوليساريو #هوبير_سيلان #محمد_سالم_ولد_السالك
