UN chief seeks year extension to Western Sahara mandate

2010-04-11

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon last week urged the Security Council to extend the UN Mission in the Sahara (MINURSO) mandate by one year to April 30th, 2011, MAP reported on Friday (April 9th). "Given the existing circumstances on the ground…I believe that the presence of MINURSO remains indispensable for the maintenance of the ceasefire," MAP quoted Ban as saying. The UN chief also called upon parties to the Western Sahara conflict "to show the political will required to enter into substantive discussions and ensure the success of the negotiations".
