Moroccan Sahara: Washington Confirms Algeria's Role in UN Peace Talks

The US special adviser for Africa, Massad Boulos, expressed strong optimism about the ongoing diplomatic process concerning the Sahara. He confirmed that Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania, and the Polisario are engaged in secret talks under the framework of the UN’s recent resolution.

In an interview with German broadcaster DW, the US official described Resolution 2797 as “historic.” Adopted by a large majority of the Security Council at the end of October 2025, the text, backed by Washington and Paris, endorses Morocco’s autonomy plan. According to Massad Boulos, all stakeholders, particularly Algeria, have welcomed this framework and are now striving to align themselves with the spirit of this new legal architecture.

Asked about the recent discussions held in the Spanish capital, the adviser maintained strict silence to preserve the confidentiality of the ongoing talks. However, he made a point of praising the decisive role played by figures in the US administration, such as Mike Waltz and Marco Rubio, in the emergence of this UN working document.

Driven by the pragmatism displayed by President Donald Trump, Washington – the dossier’s principal drafter at the Security Council – is fully embracing its diplomatic leadership. While the current momentum is seen as an excellent sign of support for the peace process, Massad Boulos urges restraint. Resolving this historic dispute will take time, and the United States is already warning that it does not wish to rush the stages toward a final solution.
