Polisario Threatens Withdrawal Over US Draft on MINURSO
The final draft of the UN Security Council resolution on the Western Sahara dispute, circulated by the United States, shows the Polisario Front's opposition to the proposed changes in the mandate of the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO). The Front considers that the draft exceeds legal principles and threatens the peace process and stability in the region. It accuses Morocco of not adhering to the UN and African frameworks for settlement. The Front demands that its objections be presented to the Security Council members. It views the proposed amendments as including a comprehensive change to the mission's role, with an intention to reassess the nature of its tasks—posing a threat to the continuity of the settlement process launched in 1991. This comes amid ongoing difficulties in negotiations and a strengthening of the autonomy option as a basis for discussions.
