Laayoune Political Report

AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

UN Transition: MINURSO’s mandate expired after the Security Council failed to agree on a renewal, and the mission is beginning its withdrawal and liquidation. UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said envoy Staffan de Mistura remains in post, while Secretary-General António Guterres stressed that the Sahrawi people’s right to self-determination is unaffected. Security and Diplomacy: King Mohammed VI ordered Moroccan authorities to coordinate the UN pullout and reaffirmed the kingdom’s commitment to the ceasefire. Polisario officials warned the mission’s departure could raise the risk of conflict and called for a political process based on self-determination. Southern Provinces: Morocco secured a €100 million French Development Agency loan for port upgrades, renewable energy and other projects, including in Laayoune, Boujdour and Dakhla.**
