Western Sahara: Renewed tensions between Morocco and the Polisario Front
The UN Security Council has called for the resumption of consultations between Morocco, the Polisario Front, Algeria, and Mauritania regarding the status of Western Sahara. Negotiations have been stalled for months. The Polisario Front, which has observed a ceasefire since 1991, recently threatened to take up arms again. Former Mauritanian Colonel Boukhary Mohamed Mouemel believes military complications are unlikely. Morocco has gained diplomatic ground by inaugurating four consulates in Dakhla, including one from the United Arab Emirates. Political analyst Mohamed Chighali notes Morocco's success and the UN resolution's failure to address human rights issues in Western Sahara, which could push the Polisario Front to seek other means to be heard.
