As the Sahrawi people marked a grim 50-year anniversary of Morocco\u2019s illegal occupation on November 6, they face an escalating campaign by Western powers to erase their quest for sovereignty from the international agenda. This campaign culminated in a controversial United Nations Security Council resolution that has effectively abandoned the UN&#8217;s founding decolonization principles in favor of rewarding an occupying power.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">The resolution, drafted by the United States and adopted on October 31 to renew the mandate of the UN Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO), represents what the Polisario Front\u2014the sole UN-recognized representative of the Sahrawi people\u2014called \u201ca very dangerous and unprecedented departure.\u201d In a stunning reversal, the resolution calls for negotiations based solely on \u201cMorocco\u2019s Autonomy Proposal,\u201d which would grant the territory self-rule under Moroccan sovereignty, and speculates that this \u201ccould represent a most feasible outcome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">This framework is a direct assault on the Sahrawi people&#8217;s inalienable right to self-determination, a principle that has guided the UN\u2019s stance on Western Sahara for decades. The resolution&#8217;s self-contradictory language, which calls for a solution that \u201cprovides for self-determination\u201d while pre-emptively endorsing a plan that denies it, has been widely condemned as a product of cynical, imperialist diplomacy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>A Pivotal Moment for Colonial Plunder<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">The reaction from Morocco and its Western backers was swift and celebratory. The US ambassador hailed the \u201chistoric vote,\u201d while the UK and French delegations praised Morocco\u2019s plan as the only \u201ccredible, viable and pragmatic\u201d solution. Moroccan King Mohammed VI declared the resolution a turning point, stating, \u201cFrom now on, there will be a before and an after October 31, 2025,\u201d even proclaiming the date a national holiday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">This diplomatic victory for the occupation is seen by Sahrawi activists as a green light for intensified resource looting. \u201cThe West is blatantly violating the international laws they themselves have written,\u201d said Babouzeid Lebbihi, President of the Collective of Sahrawi Human Rights Defenders (CODESA). \u201cImperialism no longer needs a veneer of legality to justify its exploitation of peoples and plunder of their resources. It is living in a stage of absolute barbarism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">The rich phosphate deposits and Atlantic fisheries of the occupied territory have long been eyed by international capital, with the occupation protected by a 2,700 km-long wall\u2014the world\u2019s second-longest\u2014fortified with millions of landmines and built by US corporations Northrop and Westinghouse.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>International Law Clear, But Ignored<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">The UN resolution flies in the face of a consistent body of international law that has never recognized Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara. In a 1975 advisory opinion, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) explicitly found no \u201ctie of territorial sovereignty\u201d between Morocco and Western Sahara. This position has been repeatedly upheld, including by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), which has ruled that trade deals involving Western Sahara\u2019s resources are illegal because Morocco has no sovereignty there.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">The Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR) remains a full and founding member of the African Union (AU), which recognizes the territory as under occupation. The UN continues to list Western Sahara as a \u201cnon-self-governing territory\u201d awaiting decolonization.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>Resistance Intensifies as Diplomacy Fails<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">On the ground, the political betrayal has been met with intensified armed resistance. The Sahrawi People\u2019s Liberation Army (SPLA) has launched daily attacks from the liberated eastern territories, targeting Moroccan command centers, artillery positions, and soldier entrenchments. According to the SADR Defense Ministry, these operations have inflicted \u201cheavy losses in lives and equipment\u201d on the occupation forces.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">The Polisario Front, while reaffirming its commitment to the UN peace process, has flatly refused to negotiate on the basis of the Moroccan autonomy plan. \u201cIt will not be party to any political process\u2026 which aim to \u2018legitimize\u2019 Morocco\u2019s illegal military occupation,\u201d it stated in a response.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>Global Reactions: A Fractured Council<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">The UN Security Council vote revealed deep divisions. While the US, UK, and France led the push for the resolution, Russia and China abstained. Russian Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia condemned the \u201cunbalanced text\u201d and the US for using \u201cthe Security Council to advance its own national agenda,\u201d warning of a \u201ccowboy approach\u201d that could \u201creignite the conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">Algeria, a key supporter of the Sahrawi cause, pointedly absented itself from the vote. Its ambassador declared that Algeria wished to \u201cdemonstrate its distance from a text that does not faithfully reflect the UN doctrine on decolonization.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">Crucially, even the nine non-permanent members who voted for the resolution rushed to clarify that their vote was to extend MINURSO\u2019s mandate, not an endorsement of Moroccan sovereignty. Slovenia\u2019s ambassador insisted, \u201cWe do not interpret the text\u2026 as taking any decision regarding the question of sovereignty,\u201d while South Africa reaffirmed that \u201cthe self-determination of the people of Western Sahara is paramount.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>A Final Test for the UN<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">For over 30 years, the MINURSO mission has failed in its primary task: to hold a referendum on self-determination, originally scheduled for 1992. The US, as the penholder on the Western Sahara file, has consistently sabotaged this process, first by arming the occupation and now by drafting resolutions that legitimize it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">CODESA warned that this situation is a \u201ccritical juncture\u201d not just for Western Sahara, but \u201cfor the credibility of the UN itself.\u201d They concluded, \u201cthe Western Sahara issue will serve as a final test case for the UN.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">As Western powers discard the pretense of international law to openly back a brutal occupation, the Sahrawi people, facing street violence, arrests, torture, and rape, continue their resistance. Fifty years on, their struggle remains a defining battle against a new era of raw, unvarnished imperialism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a blatant move to legitimize
