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. resolution that for the first time supports the autonomy proposal and considers it the most serious basis for negotiation and conflict resolution.
Moroccans are closely watching the voting process, particularly the positions of Russia and China, which may resort to using their veto power to block the resolution. This comes amidst Algerian objections, viewing the resolution as a setback to years of promoting self-determination through a referendum. The new proposal posits that self-determination is also achievable through “autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty.”
