Algeria failed in its attempts to influence the US draft resolution on the Moroccan Sahara file, with its efforts to amend the text meeting firm rejection from the majority of United Nations Security Council members. Diplomatic sources confirmed that the final text of the resolution, scheduled for a vote on Thursday, October 30, 2025, maintained support for the autonomy initiative under Moroccan sovereignty as a political and realistic solution to resolve the fabricated regional conflict.
Details of Consultations within the Security Council
According to leaked information from within the United Nations, members’ discussions during the closed session focused on reinforcing the parties’ commitment to the 1991 ceasefire agreement, including a new paragraph addressing the funding shortfall of the تندوف camps, and emphasizing the need to count and register Sahrawi refugees according to the recommendations of the UN Secretary-General. There was also preliminary agreement on extending the mandate of the “المينورسو” mission for six months until April 30, 2026, instead of three months as initially proposed in the draft, as previously revealed by the صحيفة هسبريس الإلكترونية based on its UN sources.
Belated Algerian Efforts
On the eve of the anticipated vote, Algerian Foreign Minister Ahmed Attaf held a phone call with his Chinese counterpart, Wang Yi, aiming to rally support for Algeria’s position opposing Moroccan interests. However, these efforts came too late, as the Algerian delegation failed to secure substantial amendments to the final text, which was framed in a balanced manner emphasizing the political solution within Moroccan sovereignty.
Rejection of Algeria’s Proposals
Algeria attempted to include amendments expanding the mandate of the “المينورسو” mission in the field of human rights, but these proposals were met with collective rejection from council members. This rejection reflects the limited influence of Algerian diplomacy, especially as its non-permanent membership of the Security Council ends in December 2025. This exit is expected to result in further isolation of Algeria’s position amid the growing international consensus on the legitimacy of the Moroccan autonomy initiative as the final solution to the conflict.
Importance of the UN Resolution
The Security Council’s adherence to the autonomy initiative is evidence of growing international support for the Moroccan approach, considered the only realistic option to end the fabricated conflict over the Moroccan Sahara. Algeria’s failure to impose its vision highlights the decline of its diplomatic influence in this sensitive issue, reinforcing Morocco’s status as a key party in achieving a sustainable political solution.
