The personal envoy of the Secretary General of the United Nations for Western Sahara, the Italian-Swedish Staffan de Mistura, began on Sunday a two-day visit to the Sahrawi refugee camps, particularly near Tindouf, in Algeria, as part of his tour in the region. The objective is to communicate directly with the Polisario Front while the negotiation process concerning Western Sahara, initiated by Washington since the beginning of 2026, is currently at a standstill.
