Morocco welcomed the end of the decades-long UN peacekeeping mission in Western Sahara, after a diplomatic standoff between the United States and Russia that left the Security Council unable to agree on its future.
The Security Council failed to renew the mandate of the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) after Russia vetoed a proposal backed by the United States. A competing Russian bill to extend the mission's mandate also failed to obtain sufficient votes.
The decision raised questions about the future of one of the most prominent conflicts in Africa, as Morocco claims Western Sahara, and the Polisario Front has been fighting for the independence of the region for decades.
