The MSP expresses optimism after the meeting between De Mistura and Boulos on the peace process in Western Sahara.

The MSP considers this first bilateral contact to be an enlightening and decisive step, as it will allow De Mistura to gain first-hand knowledge of the essence of the position of the new US administration, a key and indispensable player in the political process that the UN Envoy seeks to revitalize, ahead of the presentation of his report to the Security Council at the end of October.

The MSP is aware of Washington's critical stance on the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO), which has been operating since 1991 without reaching a definitive solution, leading to understandable weariness and growing questions about the prolongation of its operating costs.

In this crucial context, the MSP reiterates its firm confidence in the combined ability of De Mistura and the US administration to relaunch the political process in Western Sahara.

“We urge that this joint effort lead to the only viable outcome: a mutually acceptable, realistic, lasting, and pragmatic political solution that produces no winners or losers.”

This is the indispensable formula for ending a conflict that, after more than five decades, continues to generate instability and deteriorate relations between the two major powers in the region, Algeria and Morocco.

Finally, the MSP reaffirms its full readiness and willingness to play the role of a constructive third way, actively contributing to understanding, trust, and coexistence between the other parties, in favor of a just and definitive peace that benefits all the peoples of Northwest Africa.
