UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for new talks to resolve the decades-old Western Sahara conflict, saying negotiations should address proposals from both Morocco and the separatist movement — the Polisario Front. Repeated UN efforts have so far failed to bring the two sides to agree to a settlement over the disputed territory. Spain left the territory in 1975. The Polisario says the land belongs to the Sahrawi people, while Morocco regards it as an integral part of the kingdom. The UN negotiated a cease-fire in 1991, but a permanent political agreement has been elusive. “I intend to propose that the negotiating process be relaunched with a new dynamic and a new spirit,” Guterres said in a report to the Security Council.
