Western Sahara Deadlock
The Security Council vote on October 30 revealed a direct confrontation between Washington and Moscow over Western Sahara: the U.S. draft received the support of 11 members before Russia blocked it with its veto, while Russia’s counter-draft won only three votes in favor. The United States is pushing to make Morocco’s autonomy initiative the basis for negotiations, whereas Russia opposes predetermining the course of a settlement and is using its veto to preserve its influence and interests in the region, amid strategic ties with Algeria and an economic and military partnership with Morocco. The report argues that the major powers’ rivalry and Moroccan and Algerian calculations are complicating a settlement, while the people in the Tindouf camps bear the heaviest cost, as they continue to wait and lose opportunities for stability and a dignified life.
