What happened at the Security Council on October 30 was more than a diplomatic victory for Morocco. It was historical justice, sixty years in the making. In June 1966, Morocco’s misplaced faith in the United Nations allowed Algeria and Spain to hijack a sovereignty dispute and transform it into a self-determination question. For six decades, Algeria exploited that diplomatic miscalculation to obstruct Morocco’s territorial integrity. Then came October 2026. Algeria’s determination to preserve MINURSO as a symbol of an unresolved colonial dispute backfired spectacularly. The Russian veto blocked the American resolution, but the Russian alternative secured just three votes, exposing the diplomatic isolation of Algeria’s position. The irony could hardly be more devastating. In 1966, Algeria exploited Morocco’s goodwill and sixty years later, Morocco benefited from Algeria’s bad faith. History has a remarkable way of settling accounts. What Algeria once weaponized against Morocco has now become the symbol of its own diplomatic defeat. shorturl.at/7pJG5
