A long-standing United Nations peacekeeping operation in Western Sahara has been terminated following a breakdown in negotiations between the United States and Russia. The mission, which lasted over three decades, has now concluded due to the inability of the two nations to reach an agreement on its renewal. The stalemate at the UN marks a significant shift in the international approach to the region’s conflict. Details on how this will impact the ongoing political situation remain unclear.
An impasse between the US and Russia at the UN means its peacekeeping mission in Western Sahara has ended after 35 years.
