Several member states had requested the immediate convening of a special meeting to examine crimes committed by militias in various Sudanese regions. This unforeseen development led the Council to rearrange its agenda for the day, postponing the vote on the new resolution concerning the Moroccan Sahara to a later time.
The session dedicated to the Sahara file is now expected to take place no later than Friday, October 31, the last day before the expiration of the current MINURSO mandate. This mandate, established by Resolution 2756 adopted in October 2024, expires at midnight (New York time).
It should be noted that the final version of the draft resolution supports a realistic political solution based on the autonomy initiative under Moroccan sovereignty, considered the most credible path to resolving the dispute.
