Sahara: Behind Tebboune's Remarks on Resolution 2797, a Turning Point or Continuity?

Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune stated that UN Security Council Resolution 2797 "is making its way," without announcing a change in Algeria's position. Adopted on October 31, 2025, this resolution extends the MINURSO mandate until October 31, 2026, and describes the Moroccan autonomy plan as a "serious and credible" basis for discussions. Although Algeria expressed reservations during the adoption, Tebboune's remarks may be interpreted as a signal of attention to the evolving UN framework.
