UN Begins MINURSO Closure
The United Nations has announced the start of formal procedures to wind down the MINURSO mission in Western Sahara, after its mandate expired on October 31 without agreement in the Security Council to renew it. This brings to an end 35 years of field presence since the mission was established in 1991. The process will take place gradually and will include withdrawing around 160 military observers and nearly 180 civilian staff and other personnel, closing 13 sites, and relocating equipment. No timetable has been set. The renewal effort stalled after Russia vetoed the US draft resolution, while a Russian draft to extend the mandate failed to secure the necessary votes.
