Live from Algeria with Abdou Semmar: At the initiative of Donald Trump's United States, the United Nations Security Council adopted a resolution on Friday recognizing the Moroccan plan, which it considers the "most feasible" solution for the disputed territory, despite Algeria's opposition. The UN Security Council expressed its support on Friday for Morocco's autonomy plan for Western Sahara, which it considers the "most feasible" solution for the disputed territory, despite Algeria's opposition. The resolution, adopted by 11 votes in favor, none against, and 3 abstentions—Algeria having refused to participate in the vote—states that the 2007 Rabat plan, autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty, "could represent the most feasible solution" and thus be "the basis" for future negotiations to resolve this 50-year-old conflict. Until now, the Security Council had been urging Morocco, the Polisario Front, Algeria, and Mauritania to resume negotiations—interrupted since 2019—to reach a “workable, lasting, and mutually acceptable political solution.” But at the initiative of the United States, the draft resolution submitted to a vote Friday afternoon supports the plan presented by Rabat in 2007: autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty for this vast desert territory, rich in phosphate and fish-rich waters. The text, seen by AFP, considers it to be “the most workable solution.” In this context, it calls on UN Secretary-General António Guterres and his special envoy on this issue, Staffan de Mistura, to conduct negotiations “on the basis” of this plan. Here's why.
