UN peacekeeping mission in Western Sahara ends after 35 years
Original: UN’s peacekeeping mission in Western Sahara ends after 35 years following US-Russia standoff
The United Nations' peacekeeping mission in Western Sahara has ended after 35 years of operation, reportedly following a standoff between the United States and Russia. The mission, known as MINURSO, had monitored the ceasefire in the disputed territory since 1991. The closure leaves the long-running conflict between Morocco and the Polisario Front without a UN presence on the ground, drawing concern from observers about prospects for peace.
Why now: The sudden end of a decades-long UN mission due to a US-Russia dispute has major implications for a frozen conflict
