On Friday, October 31, at 8:10 PM, the United Nations Security Council will discuss the issue of Western Sahara before voting on a U.S. draft resolution that, for the first time, supports the autonomy proposal and considers it the most serious basis for negotiation and resolution of the conflict.
Moroccans are keenly awaiting the vote, particularly the positions of Russia and China, which may resort to using their veto power to block the resolution. This comes amid Algerian objections, viewing the decision as a setback to years of promoting “self-determination” through a referendum. The new proposal suggests that self-determination is also possible through “autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty.”
