Thousands of Moroccans took to the streets in cities across the country, waving flags and singing songs of joy. The wave of nationwide celebrations swept from Tangier to Laayoune, marking a significant moment in the ongoing conflict.

The resolution, passed on October 31, 2025, describes autonomy under sovereignty as a credible and realistic path forward. This puts the autonomy plan at the center of efforts to end the Western Sahara conflict once and for all.

Not only did Morocco celebrate the UN decision, but the royal palace also declared October 31 as a national holiday starting next year to mark the adoption of the Security Council resolution. This move signifies the importance of the resolution and Morocco’s commitment to resolving the dispute.

In conclusion, the UN-backed autonomy plan has brought a sense of hope and optimism to the people of Morocco. The resolution provides international endorsement and support for Morocco’s stance on the Western Sahara issue, paving the way for a peaceful resolution in the future.
