Algeria Reaffirms Unwavering Commitment to Sahrawi Self-Determination in Meeting with UN Envoy
✍️ BY: Dr. Hana Saada
Algiers – September 2025 – In a high-level diplomatic encounter that underscores Algeria’s principled stance on decolonization, Minister of State and Minister of Foreign Affairs and the National Community Abroad, Ahmed Attaf, received on Monday evening the Personal Envoy of the UN Secretary-General for Western Sahara, Staffan de Mistura, who is on an official visit to Algiers. The meeting, held in anticipation of the forthcoming UN Security Council session on Western Sahara scheduled for October, reflected Algeria’s firm and unwavering advocacy for the legitimate rights of the Sahrawi people.
According to the official communiqué, de Mistura’s visit falls within the framework of preparing his report to the Security Council on the prospects of implementing the mandate entrusted to him. During the exchange, Attaf reaffirmed Algeria’s “full support for the efforts of Secretary-General António Guterres and his Personal Envoy in the pursuit of a just, lasting, and definitive solution to the Western Sahara question.” He underscored that such a solution must guarantee the “inalienable and imprescriptible right of the Sahrawi people to self-determination, in strict conformity with the relevant UN resolutions.”
Attaf further emphasized the “central and indispensable role of the United Nations as the sole legitimate framework under which all initiatives and efforts must converge,” calling explicitly for “direct, unconditional negotiations between the two parties to the conflict, namely the Kingdom of Morocco and the Polisario Front.” He warned that attempts to bypass the UN framework or impose partial and unilateral solutions risk undermining international legitimacy and perpetuating instability in the Maghreb and Sahel regions.
In a forceful reminder of Algeria’s doctrinal foreign policy anchored in decolonization, Attaf reiterated the country’s unwavering attachment to the UN’s sacred mission of eradicating colonialism. He hailed the role of the UN Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO), stressing that it “remains a tangible symbol of the international community’s commitment to completing the decolonization process in what is still the last colony in Africa.”
