Boston – Mr. Al-Mahdi Maa Al-Ainin Boulon, a Saharan activist originally from the Sahara and residing in the American city of Boston, confirmed in an exclusive phone interview with the “Fes News” website that the UN Security Council’s adoption of Resolution 2797 on October 31, 2025, represents a qualitative leap in the course of the Moroccan Sahara issue, calling for engagement in the “greater jihad” to consolidate the autonomy project in a radical and permanent manner.
Long Struggle Journey in the Fourth Committee
Mr. Maa Al-Ainin Boulon, of noble Saharan origins linked to the heritage of Sheikh Maa Al-Ainin, is one of the most prominent figures of the Moroccan community in the United States of America. He has contributed for many years to defending the Moroccanness of the Sahara before the Fourth Committee of the UN General Assembly, in coordination with Moroccans around the world. He focused his efforts on clarifying the Moroccan vision for autonomy as a realistic and sustainable solution, based on historical, legal, and developmental arguments.
In his statement, he expressed his pride in the “diplomatic victory” achieved by Morocco, noting that Resolution 2797 reinforces the autonomy initiative under Moroccan sovereignty as the sole reference framework for political settlement. He added: “We have now entered the stage of the greater jihad, where all of us – Moroccans at home and abroad – must contribute to consolidating this project in a radical manner, through enhancing local development and supporting local populations.”
Implications of Security Council Resolution 2797
The Security Council adopted the resolution with a majority of 11 votes, with Russia, China, and Pakistan abstaining, and Algeria not participating. The resolution extends the mandate of the MINURSO mission until October 31, 2026, and welcomes proposals from the parties in response to the autonomy initiative, considering it “the most viable solution.” This achievement is the culmination of intensive diplomatic efforts, supported by growing international endorsement of Morocco’s position.
Maa Al-Ainin Boulon confirmed that this resolution puts an end to bidding wars and opens the door to a new phase of stability and prosperity in the southern provinces, while preserving territorial unity.
Call for Comprehensive Mobilization
The speaker called on diaspora Moroccans to strengthen parallel diplomacy through organizing seminars and meetings in American universities and international institutions. He also emphasized the importance of supporting development projects in the Sahara, such as the New Development Model for the Southern Provinces, to enhance effective integration.
Mr. Maa Al-Ainin Boulon’s statement embodies the spirit of national commitment among the Moroccan community and confirms that defending territorial unity is a collective responsibility that transcends geographical boundaries.
