Autonomy Seen as Solution

During the United Nations General Assembly debate, Côte d’Ivoire renewed its support for the Moroccan Sahara and the autonomy initiative, describing it as a serious and credible proposal for reaching a lasting solution. It noted that around 130 countries, including three permanent members of the Security Council, support the initiative. Côte d’Ivoire characterized the failure to extend MINURSO’s mandate as a state of paralysis: the mandate expired on October 31, and the mission began winding down on November 1, after more than 35 years in place. It stressed that the mission’s withdrawal would not end the parties’ responsibilities to uphold the ceasefire and ensure the safety of UN personnel. It called on all parties to avoid violence and provocation, and to engage in good faith in a realistic, lasting political process based on the framework of Resolution 2797 (2025).
