UN Security Council to vote Friday on Sahara mission renewal
Thursday 30 October 2025 - 19:35

The UN Security Council announced that it will hold a session on Friday, October 31, 2025, at 3 p.m. New York time (8 p.m. Rabat time) to vote on the U.S.-drafted resolution extending the mandate of the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in the Sahara (MINURSO).

The vote, originally scheduled earlier this week, was postponed due to the Council’s focus on escalating violence in Sudan. The session will finalize the framework for MINURSO’s work in the coming months.

Diplomatic sources said Algeria’s attempts to introduce amendments to the American draft failed, as most members rejected any changes that could alter the agreed language reaffirming the political process based on Morocco’s autonomy initiative.
