拉巴特，11月4日——摩洛哥王宫周三表示，尽管联合国在该地区的维和任务已结束，摩洛哥仍将坚持西撒哈拉停火。
RABAT, Nov 4 - Morocco will stay committed to the ceasefire in Western Sahara despite the end of the United Nations peacekeeping mission in the territory, the Royal Palace said on Wednesday.
联合国周日称，历时35年的联合国维和任务在安理会上周未续签授权后结束，撤走了长期监控这场数十年争端停火的国际力量。
The 35-year-old UN peacekeeping mission came to an end after the Security Council did not renew its mandate last week, the UN said on Sunday, removing the international presence that has monitored the ceasefire in the decades-old dispute.
西撒哈拉冲突使摩洛哥（视该领土为本国领土）与得到阿尔及利亚支持的波利萨里奥阵线对峙。波利萨里奥阵线是一个政治和军事组织，自1976年前殖民宗主国西班牙撤离后，一直在该地区争取独立建国。
The Western Sahara conflict pits Morocco, which considers the territory its own, against the Algeria-backed Polisario Front, a political and military organisation that has been seeking a separate state there since the departure of former colonial power Spain in 1976.
王宫在一份声明中称，摩洛哥对停火的“自愿承诺”不会因联合国任务结束而改变，声明称此声明是在国王穆罕默德六世主持、与总理、王室顾问以及军队首长会晤后发布的。
Morocco's "voluntary commitment" to the ceasefire will not change with the end of the UN mission, the palace said in a statement, following a meeting chaired by King Mohammed VI with the prime minister, royal adviser, and the army chief.
摩洛哥对任务未获续签表示满意，波利萨里奥称其“感到担忧”，阿尔及利亚则表示“深感遗憾”。摩洛哥控制着西撒哈拉的所有城市中心和海岸线。它在上世纪80年代修筑了一道长约2,700公里（约1,700英里）的安全墙，使大部分领土处于其控制之下。
Morocco expressed satisfaction at the non-renewal of the mission, the Polisario said it was "concerned" and Algeria expressed "deep regret." Morocco controls all of Western Sahara's urban centers and its coastline. It built a security wall in the 1980s stretching 2,700 kilometers (about 1,700 miles), leaving most of the territory under its control.
波利萨里奥在安全墙以东活动，其后方基地位于阿尔及利亚西南部的廷杜夫地区，并在那里管理难民营。
The Polisario operates east of the wall with rear bases in the area of Tindouf in southwestern Algeria, where it administers refugee camps.
波利萨里奥在2020年称，当摩洛哥占领与毛里塔尼亚的边境口岸时，重新启动了“武装斗争”。但联合国将该冲突描述为“低强度”。王宫在声明中称，联合国任务未能确保停火遵守，其最初职能已显过时。
In 2020, the Polisario said it resumed its "armed struggle" when Morocco took a border crossing with Mauritania. But the UN describes the conflict as "of low intensity." The UN mission has proven unable to ensure compliance with the ceasefire and its initial functions have become outdated, the palace said in the statement.
声明称，国王呼吁保持警惕，确保“严格尊重王国领土完整、国家安全以及公民安宁”。
The king urged vigilance in ensuring "strict respect for the Kingdom's territorial integrity, national security and the tranquility of its citizens," it said.
摩洛哥王室上周表示，联合国特派团的结束意味着西撒哈拉问题将不再由安理会审议。
The palace said last week that the end of the UN mission means the withdrawal of the Western Sahara issue from consideration by the Security Council.
外交大臣纳赛尔·布里塔周六在接受官方媒体采访时表示，拉巴特方面的下一步将是把西撒哈拉从联合国非殖民化委员会中移除，并称拉巴特得到了联合国三分之二成员国的支持。
In an interview with state media on Saturday, Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita said the next step for Rabat would be to remove Western Sahara from the UN's decolonisation committee, saying Rabat had the support of two-thirds of UN member states.
