UN Peacekeeping Mission in Western Sahara Ends After 35 Years Amid US-Russia Deadlock
The United Nations' peacekeeping mission in Western Sahara ended after 35 years due to a U.S.-Russia deadlock at the Security Council. The mission, established in 1991 to monitor a ceasefire and organize a referendum, entered a liquidation phase with assets being withdrawn. Morocco welcomed the mission's end, viewing it as progress toward sovereignty, while the Polisario Front and Algeria expressed regret and criticized perceived U.S. bias. Concerns remain about regional stability and a potential security vacuum.
