UN to vote on backing Morocco's autonomy plan for Western Sahara

On October 30th, the UN Security Council votes on a new resolution about Western Sahara, a territory in conflict for fifty years. The resolution proposes autonomy for Western Sahara under Moroccan rule, but it's unclear if countries with veto power will support it. The Polisario Front, backed by Algeria, seeks independence. The resolution also renews the UN peacekeeping mission and asks for a review of its future. With momentum growing for Morocco's autonomy plan, the vote is urgent and could signal a major shift in how the world handles this dispute. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered.
