The United Nations on Tuesday announced its October agenda, led by Switzerland, focusing on the Sahara issue in three key sessions on October 10, 16, and 30, aimed at renewing the UN MINURSO mandate.
The first session on October 10 will feature Staffan de Mistura, the Secretary-General’s Personal Envoy, presenting his annual briefing on the conflict and recent diplomatic efforts.
The second session on October 16 will address operational challenges faced by MINURSO, led by Alexander Ivanko, who will propose recommendations for the Secretary-General’s final report.
The final session on October 30 will involve voting on a new resolution to renew the MINURSO mandate for another year, extending it until October 31, 2025.
Algeria will participate in these discussions, amidst Morocco’s diplomatic gains and increasing regional support for its autonomy plan, recently backed by France and the United States.
The Council faces challenges in reviving direct negotiations, particularly with Algeria advocating for a new framework that emphasizes talks between Morocco and the Polisario Front.
