The Algerian delegation that received the United Nations’ Personal Envoy to Western Sahara has called for “the revival of political negotiations between Rabat and the Polisario,” once again distancing the Algerian government from its central role in the conflict.
Despite the UN listing Algeria as one of the main parties in the Western Sahara dispute, media reports the Algerian government’s position from the conflict, calling for “direct and frank talks between Morocco and the Polisario, without any preconditions in accordance with Article 4 of the Constitutive Act of the African Union,” which proposes the reactivation and revitalization of the joint settlement plan of 1991 that includes Algeria.
The Algerian delegation deliberately omitted the responsibility of the Algerian government in prolonging the conflict, in contradiction with the UN envoy’s visit to the region, which includes Algeria.
Abdelouahed Ouled Meloud, a researcher in African affairs, told Hespress AR that ‘Morocco expressed its goodwill to the UN regarding the issue of Western Sahara on multiple occasions, which was addressed by the UN envoy, Steffan de Mistura, during his visit to the region, adding that “Algeria stands as an obstacle to resolving the conflict.”
Meloud added that “the reactions of the Polisario and Algeria are similar during the visit of the UN envoy, as they jointly expressed their rejection of political negotiations.”
The researcher stated that “Algeria evaded its responsibility in the conflict by limiting the negotiations to Morocco and the Polisario.”
Algeria’s evasion of responsibility requires the intervention of major powers to pressure the government to resume trilateral dialogue.
