Sahara: political solution and reinforced cooperation in AMU to contribute to Sahel stability, UNSC

Reaching a political solution to the long-running dispute and a reinforced cooperation between the member states of the Arab Maghreb Union will contribute to the stability and security in the Sahel region, said the fifteen member states in resolution 2152, adopted unanimously and extending for one year the MINURSO mandate.

This is the second time that the UNSC links the settlement of the artificial conflict to the crisis in the Sahel region.

The UN has repeatedly warned against insecurity in the region and activities by terrorist groups which actively recruit to strengthen their presence and armory.
