A U.S. delegation, including a diplomatic and military official from the U.S. Embassy in Rabat, visited the headquarters of the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) in Laayoune this morning, according to informed Hespress AR sources.
The delegation, led by Warren Nicole Dutra, a diplomat at the embassy, and Gibio Jargard Asbrela, Assistant Attaché for the Embassy’s Force Protection Team, is in the region for a two-day visit aimed at assessing MINURSO’s work, particularly its role in monitoring the 1991 ceasefire agreement between Morocco and the Polisario Front.
During their visit, the U.S. officials will meet with MINURSO leadership, including Alexander Ivanko, the mission’s head, and General Fakhr El Ihsan, the mission’s military commander. The discussions will focus on peacekeeping challenges in the region, especially following the Polisario Front’s withdrawal from the ceasefire in November 2020.
The visit is part of ongoing diplomatic efforts to support the UN’s mission and ensure the stability and security of the region. This initiative aligns with broader international efforts to resolve the Western Sahara conflict and enhance regional peacekeeping operations.
