Algeria has indicated for the second consecutive year that it may withdraw from a United Nations Security Council session scheduled for October 30, 2025, if the resolution under consideration backs Morocco’s autonomy plan for the Sahara, according to state-linked Algerian media.
The proposed text is expected to affirm Morocco’s 2007 autonomy plan as the “only realistic basis” for negotiations in THE Sahara, sidelining Algeria’s long-held position favoring a referendum including independence.
Media outlets such as El Khabar and Le Soir d’Algérie, citing diplomatic sources in New York, said Algiers is prepared to abstain or not cast a vote if the draft resolution affirms Moroccan sovereignty without reference to a self-determination referendum.
Algeria accused other Security Council members, including the United States, France and the United Kingdom, of adopting “a legal translation” of Morocco’s control over the territory and compromising the rights of the Sahrawi people.
A UN Secretary-General’s report welcomed Morocco’s readiness for dialogue with Algeria and urged neighbouring states to play a constructive role in resolving the dispute.
At the same time, major Western countries increasingly back Morocco’s autonomy plan as “serious and credible,” a development Algerian officials view as isolating.
The session scheduled for October 30 follows the renewal of the UN Mission for the Referendum in the Sahara (MINURSO) mandate, set to expire at the end of month.
In November 2025 the conflict will mark its 50th anniversary, placing additional pressure on the international community to adopt a resolution.
