DZWatch, November 3, 2025 – The ongoing struggle for self-determination in Western Sahara remains a central issue, with calls for the Sahrawi people’s right to decide their own future growing louder. The pursuit of a sovereign state continues amidst persistent challenges.
Reports indicate that the Moroccan occupation forces continue to engage in retaliatory actions against Sahrawi civilians and human rights defenders. These actions, allegedly targeting families and activists, underscore the urgency of finding a peaceful and just resolution to the decades-long conflict.
The establishment of lasting peace and legitimacy in the region hinges on the recognition and implementation of the Sahrawi people’s inalienable right to self-determination. International observers have noted that any sustainable solution must prioritize the will of the Sahrawi people.
The Polisario Front has reaffirmed the unwavering commitment of the Sahrawi people to achieving self-determination and complete independence. The Front maintains that the pursuit of these goals is non-negotiable and reflects the genuine aspirations of the Sahrawi population.
Algeria has reiterated its position that the most recent United Nations Security Council resolution regarding MINURSO (United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara) falls short of addressing the legitimate expectations of the Sahrawi people. Algerian officials have emphasized the need for a more robust mandate that ensures the protection of human rights and facilitates a genuine referendum on self-determination.
DZWatch will continue to provide updates on this developing situation.
