Western Sahara: Polisario Front threatens to cut ties with UN over biased US draft resolution
On October 22, 2026, the Polisario Front sent an official letter to the UN Security Council president, expressing its categorical rejection of the US-drafted resolution regarding the renewal of the Minurso mission. The movement labeled the proposal a dangerous deviation that mirrors the interests of the occupying power rather than the UN's decolonization mandate. By focusing on recent resolutions instead of the mission's original 1991 objective to hold a self-determination referendum, the Front argues the text undermines international efforts. The Polisario warned that such bias threatens regional security and stability, insisting that lasting peace depends on respecting the Sahrawi people's right to determine their own future.
