UN’s peacekeeping mission in disputed Western Sahara ends after 35 years

The 35-year-old UN peacekeeping mission ⁠in the disputed Western ​Sahara region came to an end Sunday after the Security Council failed to ​renew its mandate. Morocco, which claims the region as its own, welcomed the decision, while its opponents from the Algeria-backed Polisario Front called it "unacceptable".

聯合國西撒哈拉維和特派團因美俄在安理會互相否決決議而於2026年11月1日終止，結束35年使命。此舉引發對該地區穩定、摩洛哥與阿爾及利亞關系及軍備競賽的擔憂。
