MINURSO Mission Ends, Western Sahara Ceasefire Unmonitored

The UN Security Council failed to renew the mandate of MINURSO, the peacekeeping mission in Western Sahara, following a Russian veto of a US-drafted resolution. This marks the end of the 35-year mission, leaving the 1991 ceasefire unmonitored and significantly increasing the risk of renewed hostilities between Morocco and the Polisario Front. The exact reasons for Russia's veto and its broader geopolitical implications remain unclear, though Russia expressed regret over the mission's termination.
