Algeria assumed the presidency of the UN Security Council this week, but its tenure has already sparked controversy due to the absence of the long-simmering dispute over Moroccan Sahara in the agenda.<\/span><\/p>\n Observers are puzzled by this omission, given Algeria\u2019s vocal support for the Polisario Front and its longstanding demand for a referendum on self-determination for the disputed territory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Some speculate that Algeria may be seeking to avoid potential confrontations with Morocco, which has gained significant international backing for its autonomy plan for the region.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n While Algerian officials have downplayed the significance of the omission, insisting that the Council\u2019s recent renewal of the MINURSO mission mandate renders a separate discussion unnecessary, critics say that this move undermines Algeria\u2019s credibility as a key player in the Moroccan Sahara conflict.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Algeria\u2019s permanent representative to the UN, Amar Bendjama, said that the country does not intend to address the issue unless a significant development warrants it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe do not intend to put this issue back on the agenda unless something new happens that changes the situation,\u201d Bendjama said.<\/span><\/p>\n Bendjama added that the Sahara conflict remains a priority for Algeria and that the dispute will be discussed by the Security Council in April.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n However, the April session will not involve the adoption of a new resolution. This has further fueled concerns among the Polisario Front\u2019s supporters, who fear that Algeria may be distancing itself from the separatist cause.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s worth noting that Algeria had previously abstained from voting on the resolution extending the mandate of the UN Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Algeria remains the sole member of the Security Council to recognize the self-proclaimed Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Political analyst Lahcen Akertit told Hespress Ar that the failure to include the Western Sahara issue on the Security Council\u2019s agenda during Algeria\u2019s presidency is primarily due to the diplomatic isolation that Algeria has found itself in after the Security Council voted on resolution 2756.<\/span><\/p>\n Akertit said that Algeria realizes that reintroducing the issue to the Security Council could lead to a repeat of the voting scenario that strengthened Morocco\u2019s position.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAlgeria finds itself facing new international data, including the opening of consulates in the southern provinces of Morocco; these are steps that confirm the growing international support for Morocco\u2019s position and further complicate Algeria\u2019s position and put it in a tight corner within the international organization,\u201d the political analyst said. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Rephrase in a different way as if you were a native American speaker as a content creation expert and do not talk about yourself or your experience in the text and do not show yourself as an artificial intelligence who wrote and fill the bullet point in the topic and speak the heart of the topic itself and dont take date of blog in ther first and dont take text like box of newsliter subscribe on post from contentand romove all linke insert in content and and remove all affiliate disclosure phrases on content like this “This post may contain Amazon or other affiliate links that allow us to earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
