A sharp exchange between Morocco’s Omar Hilale and Algeria’s Amar Bendjama exposed more than a diplomatic clash over Western Sahara. It revealed a Security Council unable to preserve MINURSO’s old framework or agree on what should replace it after 35 years.

The UN Security Council has renewed the mandate of the UN Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) for one year, adopting Resolution 2797 (2025) with U.S. leadership. The decision marks a historic shift as Morocco’s 2007 Autonomy Plan is cited as the basis for future negotiations, signaling growing international support for a political settlement to end the decades-long conflict.
