While some voices try to close the Western Sahara file, Algerian diplomacy recalls that the conflict remains fully on the international agenda, particularly within its decolonization chapter, while assuring that Algeria will not hesitate to provide its support, as a facilitator, to any mediation between the Polisario Front and Morocco aiming to resolve the conflict that has opposed them for 50 years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While defending the right to self-determination of the Sahrawi people, Algeria declares itself ready to support any mediation initiative consistent with the United Nations framework and the principles of a just, lasting, and definitive solution. This was stated on Tuesday during a press conference by Ahmed Attaf, Minister of State, Minister of Foreign Affairs, of the National Community Abroad, and of African Affairs.<\/p>\n

“As a neighboring country to the parties involved in the conflict, Algeria will support any mediation initiative that respects, both in form and content, the principles of a just, lasting, and definitive solution, as set out in the relevant Security Council resolutions, including the recent 2797,” the Minister of State specified.<\/p>\n

He emphasized that the Western Sahara file remains on the UN agenda, at the Security Council, the General Assembly, and the Special Committee on Decolonization.<\/p>\n

According to the head of Algerian diplomacy, resolution 2797 confirms the foundations ensuring a fair and lasting solution, preserving the fundamentals without altering any element, while strengthening the gains enabling the Polisario Front to defend its position in accordance with international law.<\/p>\n

Ahmed Attaf highlighted that “the Security Council has neither ruled on the substance of the negotiations nor their outcome, leaving it to the parties to define the modalities of their settlement.” At the heart of the process, he insisted, remains an untouchable principle\u2014that is the right to self-determination of the Sahrawi people.<\/p>\n

During this conference, the minister also addressed the situation in Mali. He reaffirmed Algeria\u2019s consistent vision, which is based on the region\u2019s security issue, which cannot be viewed in isolation or unilaterally, advocating for a united and collective approach, especially at the African level.<\/p>\n

The minister expressed deep concern about the evolving terrorist threat in Mali, which worries Algeria more than other countries due to geographic proximity and the historical and human ties between the two peoples.<\/p>\n

He recalled that Algeria has always supported Mali\u2019s national unity and that the current situation in Mali confirms the relevance of the warnings Algeria has issued.<\/p>\n

Ahmed Attaf called on the authorities in Bamako to resume inclusive dialogue, affirming that the crisis resolution cannot come through arms or exclusionary policies. He concluded by emphasizing that Algeria keeps its hand extended to its brothers in Mali, based on its loyalty to its principles, African solidarity, and a vision of durable stability in the region.<\/p>\n

Regarding Niger, “there is no problem between Algeria and that country. On the contrary, what happened is that Burkina Faso and Niger sided with Mali, and Niger entered into a verbal conflict with Algeria. These two countries chose to deteriorate our relations and decided to recall their ambassadors. Nevertheless, Algeria remains ready to restore its relations with these brotherly countries,” he said.<\/p>\n

Concerning the Palestinian issue, Ahmed Attaf recalled that Algeria\u2019s mandate on the Security Council is coming to an end but finishes on a major diplomatic act, namely the vote in favor of a resolution aimed at establishing a ceasefire and protecting Palestinian civilians.<\/p>\n

He specified that Algeria\u2019s support for this US-presented text is based on \u201cobjective considerations\u201d related to the humanitarian emergency and the absolute priority of stopping the aggression against the Palestinian people. “This vote is neither a renunciation nor a break. It is an act of responsibility,” he specified.<\/p>\n

He emphasized that the resolution rejects any justification for a resumption of Israeli aggression. It provides for the deployment of an international stabilization force in the Gaza Strip, opposes the forced displacement of Palestinians, and prepares for lifting restrictions hindering humanitarian aid.<\/p>\n

The minister highlighted that Algeria succeeded in introducing a decisive amendment reaffirming that the only viable political solution is the creation of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state.<\/p>\n

The adopted resolution, he continued, in no way undermines the foundations of a just, lasting, and definitive solution. “On the contrary, it recalls all previous Security Council resolutions, which form the legal basis of Palestinian rights,” he stated.<\/p>\n

Mr. Attaf also provided a first assessment of Algeria\u2019s mandate on the Security Council. He affirmed that it was marked by total fidelity to Algeria\u2019s identity, its history, its Arab, Islamic, and African commitments, as well as the values of the UN Charter.<\/p>\n

Algeria, he recalled, has tirelessly defended just causes, foremost among them Palestine and Western Sahara, following an approach based on coherence, legitimacy, and attachment to international law.<\/p>\n

“This approach will continue to guide Algeria in all its diplomatic initiatives to defend justice, peace, and security on regional and international stages,” concluded the minister.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
