Algeria on Neutrality
The article analyzes the Algerian Foreign Ministry’s statement of October 31, 2026, on the stalled renewal of the MINURSO mandate. It argues that the statement’s language does not reflect complete neutrality, but instead advances a political narrative that portrays Morocco as an occupying power, recognizes the Polisario Front as the sole representative, and effectively equates self-determination with independence. The article says the statement selectively cites international references that support its position, while omitting the fact that Russia’s veto blocked the adoption of the US draft, despite its receiving 11 votes in favor, whereas the alternative Russian draft received only three. It concludes that invoking the language of a referendum and decolonization, while depicting autonomy as entrenching the occupation, reveals a political alignment that contradicts the claim of neutrality and diminishes the prospects for a realistic negotiated settlement.
