The Security Council failed on Friday to extend the mandate of the UN mission in Western Sahara, MINURSO, after Russia vetoed a US draft resolution, despite 11 members voting in favor. A Russian counterproposal calling for a technical extension until October 31, 2027, received only three votes. With the mandate set to expire on Saturday, the mission—which was established in 1991 and has 534 personnel—faces the possibility of withdrawal, despite its role in monitoring the ceasefire and helping to reach a settlement. The vote drew sharply differing responses: the US draft backed autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty as the basis for negotiations, while Algeria and the Polisario Front stressed the Sahrawi people’s right to self-determination.
