UN warns of violence in Western Sahara as peacekeeping mandate lapses
Original: UN raises alarm over violence in Western Sahara after peacekeeping mandate expires
The United Nations has raised alarm over renewed violence in Western Sahara after the mandate for its peacekeeping mission expired, leaving the long-disputed territory without a UN monitoring presence. The dispute between Morocco and the Polisario Front has persisted for decades, and the lapse in the mission's mandate raises concerns about escalation on the ground.
Why now: The expiry of the peacekeeping mandate has created uncertainty over monitoring the conflict, drawing attention to potential escalation.
