Morocco Advances UN Peacekeeper Withdrawal from Western Sahara Amid Ceasefire Commitment
Morocco's King Mohammed VI has directed authorities to expedite the withdrawal of the United Nations peacekeeping mission (MINURSO) from Western Sahara after the UN Security Council failed to renew its mandate due to a US-Russia diplomatic standoff. Morocco affirmed its commitment to the ceasefire despite the mission's end, while the Polisario Front and Algeria expressed concern and regret. The dispute over Western Sahara, a territory mostly controlled by Morocco but claimed by the Polisario Front, remains unresolved with fears of renewed conflict.
