WorldPhoto: HT WorldUN Peacekeeping Mission in Western Sahara Ends After 35 Years
The UN's peacekeeping mission in Western Sahara ended on November 1, 2026, after 35 years due to a US-Russia standoff at the UN over the territory's future. The mission, established in 1991, oversaw stability in the mineral-rich disputed region claimed by Morocco and the Polisario Front. A smaller UN team will now manage asset removal and equipment disposal.
