UN Special Envoy for the Sahara, Stefan de Mistura, arrived today at Hassan I Airport in Laayoune, having traveled from Nouakchott, Mauritania, before heading to the Tindouf camps in Algeria, sources told Hespress.
A UN source confirmed that his brief stop in Laayoune was only for refueling the UN aircraft.
During his stop, de Mistura held a short meeting with Alexander Ivanko, the UN Special Representative for the Sahara and MINURSO Head, who greeted him alongside other UN officials.
De Mistura’s visit to the Tindouf camps is part of a regional tour that also includes Morocco and Mauritania, with a planned stop in Algiers, where he is expected to meet with Algerian officials.
This visit forms part of de Mistura’s efforts to revive the stalled negotiations on the Sahara conflict.
De Mistura is scheduled to brief the UN Security Council on April 14.
