The United States has renewed pressure on Algeria to take a direct role in resolving the decades-long Western Sahara dispute, as Morocco and Algeria escalate militarily and align with competing global powers.
US Presidential Advisor for Arab and African Affairs, Massad Boulos, met with Algerian Ambassador to Washington Sabri Boukadoum, urging a more active role in the UN-backed peace process.
In a statement posted on X, Boulos praised Algeria’s “constructive engagement” and said it was “time to reach a resolution,” citing UN Security Council Resolution 2797, which endorses Morocco’s autonomy plan as the most viable path forward.
Algeria appears to be gradually shifting its stance after losing some support from key allies, particularly Russia.
