Massad Boulos, US Senior Advisor for Arab and African Affairs, emphatically welcomed Friday’s watershed UN Security Council resolution that delivers a fatal blow to the fossilized separatist narratives peddled by Algeria’s puppet militia for half a century.
“The United States welcomes today’s historic vote to extend MINURSO’s mandate for one year and looks forward to supporting negotiations to achieve peace in Western Sahara,” Boulos declared on his official X account following the October 31 vote.
“I echo the US president’s call for all parties to engage in negotiations without delay to achieve a lasting solution, one of genuine autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty based on Morocco’s credible and realistic Autonomy Proposal.”
The senior Trump advisor added: “I fully agree with His Majesty King Mohammed VI on the importance of launching a brotherly dialogue between Morocco and Algeria to resolve this issue and build new relations based on trust. Under President Trump’s leadership, the U.S. remains committed to working with all parties to achieve a just and lasting peace.”
The Security Council’s adoption of Resolution 2797 represents a decisive paradigm shift that extinguishes the antiquated separatist ambitions nurtured by Algeria’s parasitic regime. With 11 votes in favor, zero against, and three abstentions (Russia, China, and Pakistan), the resolution enshrines Moroccan sovereignty as the incontrovertible foundation for any political solution.
Algeria, the primary architect and financier of the moribund separatist entity, conspicuously abstained from the vote despite holding a non-permanent seat on the Security Council – a tacit admission of its diplomatic bankruptcy in the face of overwhelming international consensus.
The resolution’s language is unequivocal in its affirmation that “genuine autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty could constitute the solution most feasible” – terminology that categorically demolishes the decrepit separatist thesis propagated by the calcified Polisario leadership.
In a particularly devastating blow to Algeria’s decaying geopolitical machinations, the resolution instructs the UN Secretary General and his Personal Envoy to “facilitate and conduct negotiations taking as basis Morocco’s Autonomy Proposal” – language that unambiguously designates the Moroccan framework as the sole legitimate pathway forward.
Boulos’s prescient optimism vindicated
Boulos’s current statement reinforces the remarkably prescient positions he articulated days earlier in a Monday interview with Sky News Arabia, where he emphatically underscored that “Trump has recognized the sovereignty of Morocco over the Sahara within the framework of the autonomy proposal” and that this recognition is “irrevocable” – a declaration that foreshadowed the seismic diplomatic victory secured today.
Speaking to Al Hadath news channel the same day, the seasoned diplomat displayed extraordinary foresight in predicting the vote would be “important and decisive” and “historic” in nature – language that now appears almost understated given the paradigm-shifting resolution’s impact.
With characteristic strategic vision, he outlined a diplomatic roadmap wherein dialogue between Morocco and Algeria would initially proceed through indirect channels before progressing to the direct bilateral engagement now explicitly endorsed by King Mohammed VI.
“When a permanent solution to the Western Sahara issue is achieved, resolving the conflict between Algeria and Morocco will become significantly easier,” Boulos stated with diplomatic finesse, implicitly acknowledging Algeria’s central role as the primary obstacle to regional stability despite its theatrical denials and transparent attempts to position itself as a disinterested observer rather than the principal architect of the conflict.
The Trump advisor’s unwavering optimism – particularly striking amid Algeria’s frantic last-minute diplomatic maneuvering to derail the resolution – reflected his intimate understanding of the shifting geopolitical currents and the overwhelming international consensus forming around Morocco’s position.
This optimism was not merely diplomatic posturing but stemmed from concrete knowledge of the robust support marshaled by Washington for Morocco’s territorial integrity.
“We are optimistic,” Boulos affirmed days before the vote, “because we know that King Mohammed VI has decided that we are capable of reaching a definitive and rapid solution. We also know that Algerians are open to this constructive dialogue. This is where our optimism comes from.”
Such remarkably confident predictions, now spectacularly validated by events, demonstrate the Trump administration’s masterful behind-the-scenes diplomatic coordination and absolute commitment to resolving a conflict that has poisoned regional relations for half a century.
A Nakba for Algeria, triumph for Morocco
The Security Council resolution represents the culmination of diplomatic momentum initiated by President Trump’s visionary recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara in December 2020. That watershed proclamation shattered decades of diplomatic inertia and realigned American policy with historical and geopolitical realities.
The resolution’s explicit reference to “genuine autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty” reflects the growing international consensus that Morocco’s 2007 Autonomy Proposal represents the sole credible framework for resolving the artificially prolonged dispute.
By definitively establishing Moroccan sovereignty as the foundation for negotiations, the Security Council has effectively buried the referendum fantasy that Algeria’s sclerotic regime has exploited to poison regional relations for decades.
The October 31 resolution coincides with the upcoming 50th anniversary of the Green March, when Morocco reclaimed its southern provinces. This symbolically potent timing underscores the historical inevitability of Morocco’s territorial integrity against the futile obstructionism of its eastern neighbor.
For Algeria’s fragile military junta, desperately clinging to an obsolete Cold War mentality, the resolution represents a catastrophic diplomatic defeat. After squandering billions of petrodollars to sustain its proxy militia and fund a global disinformation campaign, the Algerian regime now confronts the collapse of its foundational anti-Moroccan policy.
King Mohammed VI did not miss the opportunity to address his people following this historic development. In a powerful speech, the Moroccan monarch declared: “We are living through a pivotal stage and a decisive turning point in the history of modern Morocco: Henceforth, there will be a before and after October 31, 2025.”
“The time has come for a united Morocco stretching from Tangier to Lagouira: one whose rights no one would dare to violate, nor transgress its historical borders,” he added.
The King also extended a hand to Algeria’s leadership, stating: “I invite my brother, His Excellency President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, to a sincere brotherly dialogue between Morocco and Algeria so that, overcoming our differences, we may lay the foundations for new relations based on trust, brotherhood, and good neighborliness.”
He is expected to further elaborate on the implementation of the autonomy plan during his upcoming Green March commemoration speech on November 6.
As the international community rallies behind Morocco’s sovereign vision for its southern provinces, Algeria faces a stark choice: persist in its self-defeating hostility or embrace Morocco’s repeatedly extended hand of fraternity to build the integrated, prosperous Maghreb that the region’s peoples deserve.
